Lots of issues with GeoDir v.2

As to Kor’s comments.

I will share the access a bit later.
I hear what you guys are saying about that it is not GD issue, I would be surprised if it is, I just exhausted any other explanations.

Please consider this:

– After the first time automatic upgrade happened, not only I double-checked the settings, I went as far as opening a ticket with them and asked to take our website completely out of the SiteGround auto-update system. I have a confirmation from their senior admins that they did as requested.
– And then GD got auto-updated again.

As improbable as this is a GD issue at this point I have no logical explanations and have to ask for your advice.

I will double-check with them again, and if SiteGround reply remains ‘sorry, deffinitely not us’, I will give you access.

Thank you.

Here is an update from SiteGround

As suspected – they confirmed that there is no way anything could have been updated automatically.
You confirmed that there is no way GD is forced to be auto-updated on your end.
Quite an impasse.

I undestand that there is nothing you can add to what you said already.

****************************************
We have already deactivated the WordPress core, theme and plugin updates for the installation at allontario.ca. I have checked that matter and also see my colleague confirmed in a ticket with ID 3126226.

With that being said, I confirm that we do not force any updates of the theme, the plugins or core version from the server-end (hosting end).

I tend to think at this point that this is SG fault as well. A flat denial from their 2-level support really erodes trust in them. Not the first time it happened with SG actually.
I wish customers were smarter and go with WP Engine (my preferred option).

Which leads me to the question – (I’m not looking for a guarantee, only for a non-binding opinion) – in your opinion which hosting gives your customers the least the number of problems.

Cheers.
