*📜 Plan description

Built for people launching a single site, StartUp gives you a solid foundation on which to build your online presence. You can host one website on 10 GB of ultra-fast SSD storage and use as much unmetered traffic as your audience needs. The package includes a free domain name for the first year, free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, and professional e-mail accounts with unlimited aliases and spam protection. Automated daily backups are created with seven off-site copies and are restored with one click, while a free CDN and intelligent caching make sure pages load quickly across the globe. Security is enhanced through a Web Application Firewall, an AI-driven anti-bot system, and account isolation, and the plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee and powered entirely by renewable energy. The easy-to-use Site Tools dashboard lets you manage files, databases, DNS records and email from one place, and you can migrate an existing site using the free SiteGround Migrator plugin. Although this entry-level option lacks on-demand backups and a staging environment, it still gives you all the essentials at a low monthly rate.

SiteGround’s platform is built on Google Cloud infrastructure to deliver speed, reliability and geographic redundancy. It uses ultrafast PHP, a customised MySQL setup and multiple caching layers to accelerate websites. A free Content Delivery Network with points of presence around the world reduces latency for visitors, and security features like a web application firewall, AI bot protection and Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates keep data safe. Every plan includes unlimited email accounts and an email migrator, automatic daily backups, one-click WordPress installs and autoupdates, free website migration tools, and 24×7 expert support via chat, tickets and phone. The client area and Site Tools interface provide intuitive management for websites, domains and email accounts, and all services are matched with 100 % renewable energy and a network of data centres in JP, SG, AU, PL, FI, GB, DE, ES, NL, FR, BR and the US.

📄 Editorial Review

SiteGround, founded in 2004 in Bulgaria, has grown into one of the most recognized independent hosting providers with a strong global presence, including a U.S. address. Over the years, it has positioned itself as a trusted brand for managed hosting services, supporting both individuals and businesses.

Its product portfolio covers shared hosting, cloud hosting, and domain registration, complemented by specialized application hosting for platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, WooCommerce, and PrestaShop.

Shared hosting comes with essential features such as free SSL, daily backups, Cloudflare CDN, unlimited MySQL databases, and unmetered traffic. Cloud hosting is fully managed with auto-scaling resources, daily backups, and speed optimization tools. Although SiteGround historically offered dedicated servers, these have been phased out, and reseller hosting is more of a white-label variant of shared or cloud solutions.

The company places strong emphasis on speed and innovation, with SSD storage, NGINX-based caching (Geeky SuperCacher), HTTP/2, and their own CDN service. They also maintain an active blog, regularly publishing updates, guides, and promotional content.

SiteGround has localized websites in multiple regions and supports prices in various currencies. Its presence spans across the U.S., UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Australia, and LATAM, with interfaces available in English, Spanish, Italian, German, and French.

😁 Quality Reliable Affordable Hosting
I've used SiteGround for 13 years. Over those years, they've changed a decent bit, some of which bothered me quite a bit at the time, but they've still kept the core essentials there, and they've made some decent improvements in some areas. Although I remember being quite bothered about some of the changes, I only remember one of them, which is that they got rid of the option to use email when requesting support, but even that issue I've decided I don't mind much that they've changed. Their support is always of impressively high quality and prompt. I'm not really sure how they manage to afford such capable support given what I pay them. There's not been a single issue they've been unable to resolve for me, and I've thrown a decent number of curve balls at them. So, as long as nothing major changes, I intend to continue with them for the foreseeable future.
