They started updating WordPress instances automatically in order to secure their WordPress clients long before the term \u201cmanaged WordPress hosting\u201d even existed.<\/p>\n<p>What do they like most about WordPress? The opportunity to keep the web open and independent. They believe in giving clients the\u00a0freedom to get crafty with their website design, and keep control of their content.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Being User Centered<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ramelina Baklayan, a SiteGround Event Coordinator, told me a story about a cab ride she took to one of the many WordCamps she attends. The cab driver asked her about how SiteGround operates. When she got to the point of mentioning WordPress, his face lit up. He was excited to share how he had started taking WordPress lessons, and was creating his own websites.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress allowed him to create things he never thought possible.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress is a powerful leader on the web. WordCamps are extremely important for sharing knowledge and solutions to common issues.
