First off - nice highlights. I would like to address the questions above that did not make it to the show.

Making a partnership with a WordPress company is definitely a good way to add valuable services to your web hosting plan. SiteGround has already partnered with ManageWP, which is integrated in our cPanel, and with iThemes, whose themes and plugins are available to our customers at a special price. We will always be open to partnering with any provider that can enhance our customers’ experience.

Still, in relation to your second question about how do we differentiate ourselves from other hosting providers, I would like to point out that we at SiteGround strongly believe the best way to provide something more than a plain web hosting plan is to develop the additional WordPress services yourself. That is how we ended up having multiple in-house created tools like WordPress dynamic caching, WP staging environment, GIT and WP-CLI integration, auto-updater, etc. We apply this self-made approach not only to developing WordPress related software, but also to providing WordPress related services like WordPress support, security, speed optimizations, etc.
