SiteGround hosting
SiteGround is one of the highest-ranked web hosts and has been recommended by many bloggers.
The data centres are based in the USA, Asia and Europe.
From my point of view, I can recommend Siteground for its reliability. Their customer support is excellent (24 hours support, even at the weekend, night, you can always ask for help, the live chat works 24/7. This means that you don’t need to leave a message and wait for ages for the answer as with my old hosting.
Another advantage is that they provide a free SSL certificate (for those who don’t know this term it means that your page is secure and use https).
For the SSL certificate, you normally have to pay with other hosts, so I would say that is a huge advantage that makes this hosting also different.
Pro and cons
Do you already have a host and need a transfer? Siteground can do it for you and it is free of charge!
When you start your blog you might think a lot which host to choose to not have any further problems, my first host was just a big mistake, it was slow, support was bad and I always needed to solve some issues. SiteGround has all I need and I always get the support whenever I want.
As every host you can find some minuses, the only minus that I found is that the hosting is needed to be paid for the whole year.
However, the price is affordable and if you divide it into months, it will cost you less than 5 dollars per month for a Start up plan for the first year.
I personally recommend Grow Big plan which offers managing multiple websites and provides more storage.
If you are not sure which plan to choose, you can also just pick one of the plans and then upgrade it later.
Once you register you will have 30 days money back guarantee which means that if you don’t like it, you can simple cancel it for free and get money back so basically you don’t have anything to lose.
I think you will find out in one month if you like it or not so you don’t have to worry that you chose a wrong host for a whole year.
My old host was month to month and I started with the cheapest option and then I upgraded it, but then they charged me twice because of some wrong setting and it took a while to solve the problem. It really annoyed me.
Now, I am really happy that I have a proper technical support with SiteGround and don’t need to worry about charging any extras as I have paid for whole year and don’t need to check anything.
