SiteGround Deployment & Regions verdict

Verified today·6 sources checked

SiteGround runs 11 Google Cloud data centers across four continents.

Four in North America, five in Europe in London, Frankfurt, Eemshaven, Madrid, Paris, and two in Asia-Pacific in Singapore and Sydney. A free Google Cloud CDN adds 170+ edge locations.

How to pick your regions

Pick a Google Cloud data center near your audience at setup. That means a US region, an EU city such as London, Frankfurt, Eemshaven, Madrid or Paris for GDPR, or Singapore or Sydney for APAC, since moving later means a migration. Use GoGeek or Cloud for the Site Tools Git tool, or SSH git on any plan. Choose Cloud for Smart Autoscaling and the 99.99% SLA. Confirm compliance certifications directly, since they are not on the public pages.

Honest limits

You choose the data center at setup, and it cannot change later without migrating the account, so pick carefully given the high global TTFB.
EU residency is available via five EU data centers, but SOC 2, ISO and PCI certifications are not stated on the captured pages. Git deploys are tier-gated, with the Site Tools Git tool on GoGeek and Cloud, though SSH and git work on all plans.
Smart Autoscaling and the 99.99% SLA are Cloud-only. Shared references 99.9% with Google Cloud zone redundancy and no published cross-region failover.

Data centers: 11 (Google Cloud, 4 continents)

SiteGround deployment configuration

SiteGround servers have Git on all plans. Over SSH, init a repo in your site folder, commit, add a GitHub remote and push. This versions your site to GitHub; pair it with the clone-back flow below for pull-based deploys.

SSH git push to GitHubbash

# In your SiteGround site folder, over SSH
cd ~/www/yoursite
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin [email protected]:your_username/your_repo.git
git push origin master

On GoGeek and Cloud, Site Tools > Devs > Git creates a bare server-side repo (kebab menu > Git Info shows the SSH details). To pull a GitHub project onto SiteGround, configure ~/.ssh/config with the SiteGround key, test the connection, then clone.

Site Tools Git + clone (GoGeek/Cloud)bash

# Site Tools > Devs > Git: select app > Create (bare repo) > Git Info for SSH details

# Pull a GitHub repo onto SiteGround over SSH
#   ~/.ssh/config:
#     Host github.com
#       IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key_name.private
ssh -T -p22 [email protected]   # Hi username! You've successfully authenticated
git clone [email protected]:username/repo.git

EU data residency is available via five EU data centers (London, Frankfurt, Eemshaven, Madrid, Paris), but SOC 2, ISO and PCI certifications are not stated on the captured pages, so confirm them directly
Git deploys are tier-gated: the Site Tools Git tool is available on GoGeek and Cloud, though SSH and standard git work on all plans, so an entry StartUp plan has no built-in Git tool

SiteGround Deployment & Regions FAQ

How many data centers does SiteGround have and where?

Eleven Google Cloud data centers across four continents. North America has four: Ashburn VA, Council Bluffs IA, Dallas TX, Los Angeles CA. Europe has five: London, Frankfurt, Eemshaven, Madrid, Paris. Asia-Pacific has two: Singapore, Sydney. A free Google Cloud CDN adds 170+ edge locations, and you choose your data center at account setup.

Which SiteGround data center should I choose for GDPR?

Choose an EU Google Cloud data center: London, Frankfurt, Eemshaven, Madrid or Paris. Site data then lives in that EU region. SiteGround operates carbon-neutral with geo-distributed backups, but does not state SOC 2, ISO or PCI certifications on the captured pages, so request compliance documentation directly if your review requires it.

Can I change my SiteGround data center after signing up?

Not without migrating. You select the data center at account setup, and changing it afterward requires migrating the account to a new one. Because SiteGround's global TTFB is high, with the origin fast only near the chosen data center, pick the location closest to your primary audience at signup to avoid a later migration.

How do I deploy a site to SiteGround?

Two ways. On all plans, SSH in and use standard git. Init a repo in your site folder, commit, then add a GitHub remote with git remote add origin [email protected]:user/repo.git and git push origin master. Or clone a GitHub repo onto the server after configuring ~/.ssh/config. On GoGeek and Cloud, Site Tools, Devs, Git creates a bare server-side repo with SSH connection details under Git Info.

Does SiteGround support multi-region failover?

SiteGround runs on Google Cloud, which provides zone-level redundancy, multiple power feeds, on-site generators, enterprise UPS and multi-carrier connectivity. Explicit cross-region automatic failover is not stated on the captured pages. The Cloud line adds Smart Autoscaling within a region. For cross-region resilience, rely on the geo-distributed backups and the Google Cloud CDN.

What CDN and backups does SiteGround include?

All plans include a free Google Cloud CDN spanning over 170 edge network locations, plus free daily backups with a 30-day history. GrowBig, GoGeek and Cloud add on-demand backups. Backups are geographically distributed across countries and continents. The Cloud line additionally offers geo-distributed daily backups and a dedicated IP.
