SiteGround

SiteGround's free hardening and login-protection plugin

Overview

SiteGround was founded in 2004 and describes itself as independently owned. Its company page lists more than 3 million domains powered, over 500 experts, and 11 data centres in 8 countries across 4 continents with 170 CDN points of presence.[14] W3Techs credits SiteGround with 2.0% of all websites in November 2026.[1]

Pricing is shown in the visitor’s regional currency. On its euro-zone site in November 2026, during an early Black Friday offer, StartUp was listed at €1.99 per month for the first 12 months (renewing at €15.99), GrowBig at €3.99 (renewing at €27.99) and GoGeek at €5.99 (renewing at €39.99), excluding VAT.[15] StartUp covers one website with 10 GB; GrowBig and GoGeek allow unlimited websites with 50 GB and 100 GB. All plans include a free CDN, email, SSL and daily backups; GrowBig adds on-demand backups and staging, and GoGeek adds Git-based staging, white-label client access and priority support.[15]

SiteGround’s main drawback is renewal pricing: the regular rates on the euro-zone page are the highest among the shared plans reviewed for this list, at roughly seven to eight times the promotional price on the euro-zone page.
