The verdict
SiteGround is a genuinely excellent host — the support and Google Cloud infrastructure set it apart. But the renewal pricing makes it hard to recommend to beginners who’ll face sticker shock in 12 months. Best for businesses and agencies who need premium reliability and are okay paying for it. For budget-conscious users: Hostinger gives you 10x more resources at a lower renewal. For full comparison: SiteGround vs Hostinger showdown.
