SiteGround review
Reliable, well-supported, and priced accordingly · Founded 2004 · Bulgaria
Our verdict
Support is the best in mainstream shared hosting and uptime is consistently strong. The renewal price is the problem: it more than quadruples, and storage limits are tight.
$468 over three years one term at the intro rate, then two renewals
- Refund window 30 days
- Uptime SLA 99.99%
- Readers rate it No reviews yet
What we liked
- Support genuinely knows WordPress
- Strong uptime record in public reports
- Free daily backups on all plans
- Excellent custom control panel
What we did not
- Renewal is about 6x the intro price
- Tight storage caps (10-20 GB on lower plans)
- No India datacenter
- Pricing per website is restrictive on the entry plan
What it actually costs
checked 28 Jul 2026The advertised price applies to your first term only. Here is the same plan over three years.
For comparison, the cheapest renewal we track is MilesWeb at $2.28/mo — about $189 a year less than SiteGround once the intro term ends. Whether that matters depends on what you get for the difference; read both.

Who it is for
Someone who values support quality over price and will not be caught out by year two.
The renewal problem
StartUp moves from about $2.99 to $17.99 — roughly six times. That is the steepest jump on this list. If you intend to stay more than a year, compare the renewal rate against Cloudways’ flat pricing before deciding.
Storage caveat
Publishers disagree on GrowBig’s storage allowance (20 GB and 50 GB are both reported). Confirm on the plan page if storage matters to you.
