Today we will talk about Siteground Hosting Review We will get to know whether Siteground is the king of the hosting or it is having some drawbacks.
Hi Guys, My Name is RK I do Hosting, VPN and Digital Tools reviews I am using Siteground for 1.5 years and
I have made a detailed review on it But now there are certain changes that have happened in it,
It is now shifted to Google Cloud and there are some side tools that are added to it
So it would be a new and detailed review on it If we talk about Siteground Company.
Siteground Hosting Review
Siteground Company started over in the year 2004, It is a European based company They have improved their services a lot since then You can find their team in the About Us Page
It feels real and good that there are people to take accountability for it I am always happy when I see the information about a team in their About Us Page.
Talking about their websites, I have taken their Grow Big Plan which is $9.99/mo.
I have hosted 2 websites, first is demnts.xyz I have used OceanWP Theme and Gym Template I always use this theme and template for testing I have also used demnts2.xyz
I have used Sitebuilder to make this website If I talk about its Overview, you will find this interface,
We will go to the website You will find the website list if you want to add a new website, you can add it So there are some websites, which I have hosted in my new plan I can go to demnts.xyz
If I go to Site tools, this would be my interface Here you won’t find any Cpanel For existing customers, Cpanel would close soon So this is the type of interface, you can go to various options, which were available in Cpanel, In fact, it would be an easy and good interface There is one-click easy WordPress Installation Support It is very easy to install WordPress in Siteground
SiteGround Speed Test
Siteground Server Response Time is good in Singapore Servers And overall it is an A+ Performance Speed in Bangalore is 1.2s and Singapore has 700ms I have not used any External Cache Plugin There is a Cache Plugin by default from Siteground Hosting Review
I have done all testings in their default settings If I optimize it and minify JavaScript and HTML All those options are available in their plugin If I apply all those settings, I can get a better speed After Google Cloud, there has been an improvement in the speed of Siteground Hosting Review
You get an inbuilt Cache Manager You also get a Siteground Optimisation Plugin for WordPress So this is a good plugin If you use this plugin, you won’t require any External Plugin or any Paid Plugin It is a very powerful plugin Siteground Hosting Review
it can do everything like minifying, video and image optimizations You can find every essential element in this Plugin Talking about Uptime, I am using this new Hosting for 1.5 months and I have not experienced any sort of Downtime There has been 100% Uptime since 1200 hours and there is no Downtime yet Siteground Hosting Review
If I visit my old websites, which are hosted in the Old Siteground It has been unavailable there I am observing this from last year December 2019 Till now as of May 2020, I have not experienced any Downtime There has been downtime of 7min, 1 min, and 9 min Since March I have not experienced any Downtime for last 3 months So you will see a good uptime in Siteground Hosting Review
LOAD TEST
I have seen good results in Load Test I have sent 50 virtual users and the blue line here is straight, without any fluctuations There are no HTTP failures So it has easily passed the load tests Data Centres are in US, UK, Netherlands, and Singapore They have added 2 new Data Centers in Germany and Australia
BACKUP & RESTORE
Backups are 30 days offservers backups which are easy to use There is also 1 Click Restoration Options Inode Count at Startup is 1.5 lakh, Growbig has 3 lakh and GoGeek has 4.45 lakh
Customer Support
Customer Support is 24×7 Live Chat Support, which is technical and good There is no support on call available Live Chat Support in my experience is good and fast But in the rare case scenario, it has a long waiting time. Siteground Hosting Review
I have seen waiting time of 40-50 mins But usually, they receive the queries at 5-10 mins.
SiteGround Pricing, Hosting Plans & Quick Facts
Talking about the pricing, when you go to the Siteground, you will see such options like Web Hosting, WordPress Hosting and Woo Commerce Hosting available We are talking about Shared Hosting Plans
So these are the Shared Hosting Plans Go to WordPress Hosting, it is the best plan You can host WordPress and if you require Cpanel, you would get it If you are planning to open E-Commerce then go to Woo Commerce Hosting You can go to Web Hosting, but WordPress and Web Hosting are almost the same
So the plans are StartUp, GrowBig, and GoGeek StartUp plan starts from $6.99/mo. GoGeek goes up to $14.99/mo. All 3 plans are good But for the majority, the best plan would be GrowBig which starts from $6.99/mo.They have high renewal rates, which is almost 70% high So if its possible try to buy a 3-year plan. if you like the siteground hosting review so, please comment your opinion
PAYMENT OPTIONS
Talking about the payment options, you can use International Debit and Credit Cards, Netbanking is not available You can also select your data centers In Time Period, you can select for 12/24/36 months, it will be the same discount for all these months
The one you don’t have to select is the trial package which is of 1 month, where you will get 45.95+ $24.95 is the setup fee After it when you renew it, you will have to pay the normal rates, you won’t get the discounted price So don’t take Trail Package by mistake
If you want to do the trail, do it for 1 year and then if you didn’t like the performance, within 1 month you can claim a refund You can claim a refund within 30 days and if you are interested,
you can buy from the links mentioned below It’s my affiliate link, if you purchase through it, I will get a commission, without you paying any extra cost It helps me to do such detailed reviews and grow this Blog
You can unlimited SSL for unlimited websites You get Free Cloudflare Option in CDN You also get the feature of staging,
it comes into play when you have to do certain testings in your website You do all such testings at the backend copy of the websites The changes are not visible in the live website unless you finalize all such changes If I have to change a theme,
MIGRATE
I will make a staging copy I will do changes and apply it on the website to see how it looks I would check whether all things are working properly or not If changes would be finalized, then I can apply changes to the real website MIgrations are not free,
previously they use to give it, but now they have discontinued free migrations Now you will have to pay $30 per migration if you want them to migrate your website They have a plugin which is easy to use It is a very good
easy to use and a powerful plugin You can easily use it to migrate your website Softwares have PHP 7.4, Python 3.7 Support You won’t find the support of Perl and NodeJS You get Weebly SItebuilder It is one of the best Sitebuilders that I have used in the Shared Hosting
It’s very easy to use and a good site builder for Shared Hosting You will have separate pricing for Sitebuilder, the free version have certain elements There are 3 to 4 more packages available If you have to start through Sitebuilder then the free package would be sufficient and then you can upgrade slowly In domains
Free Domain
you have a free temporary domain You won’t get a free primary domain for free as you get in other hostings when you take their 1-year hosting Here if you take it for 1 year or 3 years, you won’t get any free domain You get unlimited email accounts, which are limited through a particular size The first plan would have 2000MB, then it would be 4000MB and 6000MB Siteground was PCI Complaint earlier,
but now it isn’t If you don’t know what is a PCI Compliance, then you don’t need to go into it further This is usually not provided in the Shared Hosting But since Siteground used to provide it earlier, and now it doesn’t, so that’s why I have included it here You also get Team Collaboration Options
They have a good security and there are no issues yet If you have like the detailed review,
Talking about The SiteGround Pros & Cons
Pros
So if I talk about its Pros,
- you get a good speed,
- It is supported by Google Cloud and
- it has a Good Customer Care
- You get a powerful Cache Plugin There are good backups and restore options You get Weebly SItebuilder Support and you get 1 Click WordPress Installation. Talking about the siteground review
Cons
Cons,
- there are High Renewals,
- No Free Migrations are available
- There is less storage space 1st plan has 10GB Space, the 2nd plan has 20GB Space, and 3rd plan has 40GB Space It was 30GB previously but now it has been changed to 40GB
- There is no free domain available So will I recommend it? According to me, it is one of the best Shared Hosting for WordPress Yes, it is a bit expensive, But if you consider its other factors like Speed, Reliability, Security and Support Backup Option, Powerful Plugin Option, Cache System When you combine all these factors together,
then it seems worthy It is one of the most reliable hostings Since 5 years, they are on top and they have maintained their positions since then, They are constantly improving their website and its services So if I have to bet my money on Shared Hosting then it would be Siteground
If you don’t have that budget, then Fastcomet is also a good option Hostinger is a good option for the lowest budget If you have high traffic on a website which is up to 1 lakh, so you should head towards Cloudways That’s all for this.
