Services And Features

For fast and secured web hosting, SiteGround offer three plans. Unlike some other companies, there is no freebie plan as they focus all of their resources on their paid plans so they can provide a better service.

The Startup is the beginner's package, and it sits at $3.95/month, which is an excellent price when compared to other plans at other web hosting companies. It is the perfect plan for beginners who are hosting their first website. The Startup plan can handle a good number of visits each month (10,000) and 10 GB of web space. So even beginners will be able to get a substantial amount of visits if they go for the low-priced plan. Therefore, for those who need a website but do not know where to start, this is the perfect fit.

The GrowBig plan is the intermediate level plan that costs $5.95/month, and customers can host an unlimited number of websites with 25000 visits per month and 20 GB of webspace. It has 30 backup copies as well as all three-level of the SuperCacher. The SuperCacher helps significantly with the loading times. It also offers numerous staging environments for Joomla and WordPress.

As the name implies, the GoGeek plan is the plan for the professionals and the geeks. It sits at $11.95/month, and it is worth every penny. It allows for unlimited websites, 100,000 visits per month, and 30 GB of webspace. It has all of the features of the two plans and even more with priority support, one-click GIT repo creation, White label site management, and PCI compliance.  All of the plans come with 24/7 support, free email accounts, free CDN, free SSL, a free site builder, and a 30-day guarantee.

When it comes to safety, SiteGround excels with flying colors. They put security at the top of their list of priorities. SiteGround proactively takes drastic measures to protect the customers' websites from any malicious hacks or code attacks, which helps protect the customer's credibility and protect its flow of traffic.

SiteGround achieves that by maintaining a Web Application Firewall (WAF). The application will continuously be adding new security codes for the website. Every year, they add hundreds of these new custom rules. These new rules would help face any application vulnerabilities. They also develop many unique solutions, including the AI Anti-bot. This solution alone would help block millions of threats daily. Finally, SiteGround was one of the leading companies to provide each site with free SSL, as they believe in the process of making the internet a safe place for all its users.

Overall, SiteGround proudly ranks near the top of the lists of web hosting companies when it comes to speed and uptime (around 99.99%).

Sign Up

Siteground’s sign up is simple and straightforward and as mentioned above, there are several affordable plans to choose from.  Once you’ve decided on the plan for you, you must enter a domain name where you have two choices; you can register a new domain or enter the existing domain you own.  An area where SiteGround don’t excel is if the domain you are looking for isn’t available. The alternative suggestions are minimal, if there are any at all, which isn’t very helpful.  

Once your domain is chosen, it is time to finalize your order by entering your billing information. Carefully read and review all information before proceeding as SiteGround gives additional options to opt-in or out of domain privacy and SG Site Scanner.  Both of these options are great for your site, but they do cost an extra fee per year.
