[Hidden-tech] Siteground does serious screwup of web sites

[Shel Horowitz]

You'll need to find a lawyer who is well-versed in this particular area. I
think you have a claim--but that's personal opinion--I am not qualified to
give legal advice. Many lawyers will give you a free initial consult,
though--and if they smell a large settlement, working on spec for a (hefty)
percentage of the settlement is pretty common.

Good luck.

I had one site hosted with Siteground for one year. I wasn't unhappy until
they tripled the price for the second year and I left. I have all my sites
with Hostgator now.
