SiteGround costs $24.99 to $49.99 a month on StartUp, GrowBig and GoGeek, or $17.99 to $44.99 per month on a 12-month term, as of . First-year intro pricing runs far lower, and 24-month terms drop renewals to $14.99, $24.99 and $39.99.
The term length is the real price lever. StartUp renews at $24.99 month to month, $17.99 on a 12-month term and $14.99 on a 24-month one: the same plan, three prices, and the vendor page leads with none of them. The advertised $2.99 is the first prepaid year only.
Between the plans the differences are storage and one capability apiece: staging from GrowBig, Git and white-label access on GoGeek. Rates are quoted before VAT and set per region rather than converted. Figures follow the vendor's own renewal table, read in .

Vendor pricing pageSiteGround renewal price: $2.99 becomes $17.99 the day the first term ends
Every plan here advertises a first-term price and renews at roughly five times it. The vendor prints both, one in the headline and one under the button.
| Tier | First term | From renewal |
|---|---|---|
| StartUp | $2.99 | $17.99 |
| GrowBig | $4.99 | $29.99 |
| GoGeek | $7.99 | $44.99 |
The lower rate holds for 12 months prepaid, paid in front.
The lower rate requires twelve months paid up front, and VAT sits on top of both columns.
SiteGround plan steps: $12 a month to add every site, $15 more for the developer kit
Each step adds storage and one capability. Neither step changes how the renewal behaves.
Read at the renewal rate. On the first term the same steps are $2 and $3 a month apart, which is why the offer flatters the top plan.
SiteGround cost for your sites: the renewal rate at your count
What your line costs on the published rates
You entered StartUp on monthly billing. The renewal rate is $24.99 a month.
That figure held across every reading we took, and the introductory price beside it did not.
Where the bill sits above the advertised rate
The billing choice is the whole gap, and it runs one way: the offer requires twelve months in front, and month thirteen costs about five times month twelve.
What is in your bill that the advertised rate does not price
Ten gigabytes on StartUp, fifty on GrowBig, a hundred on GoGeek. Unlimited websites means bounded by disk, and that is the number to forecast.
It comes with annual plans and renews at standard pricing on its own schedule, which lands separately from the hosting invoice.
Where your rate sits against the category
At $24.99 a month you sit against a $11 middle across the nineteen hosts we price. On the introductory rate the same comparison would put this product near the bottom.
The product sits on both sides of the median depending on which of its two prices you quote, which is the whole reason this page leads with the renewal.
The configuration we would sign off
StartUp on the renewal rate. It is the cheapest plan that holds the sites you listed with the disk they need.
You named a plan above that. The extra is storage, so it is worth it only if the sites are heavy.
StartUp, twelve months up front for the introductory rate, renewing at $24.99 a month before VAT.

| Your case | Plan | Why this one |
|---|---|---|
| One site, and the first year matters more than the fiftha portfolio, a small business site, a blog with a domain | StartUp $2.99 first year, renews $17.99 (12-mo) or $24.99 monthly | One website and 10 GB. The limit that ends this plan is the second site, not traffic. Renewal is the real decision: $17.99 on a yearly term, $24.99 month to month, $14.99 if you commit two years. |
| More than one site on one accountan agency with three client sites, a business with a shop and a blog | GrowBig $4.99 first year, renews $29.99 (12-mo) or $34.99 monthly | Unlimited websites and 50 GB, plus staging and on-demand backups. The step from StartUp buys the second site; on renewal it costs $12 a month on the yearly term. |
| Developers who need to deploy, not just publishclient work handed over, version-controlled themes, sites you support | GoGeek $7.99 first year, renews $44.99 (12-mo) or $49.99 monthly | Git, white-label access and priority support on 100 GB. Bought for the workflow: the desk features cost $15 a month over GrowBig on the yearly term, and traffic buys none of it. |

Price check history
Each read of the published rates is on the record with its date. Across 6 of them the three plans held.
We watched from spring 2026 onward and claim nothing about the years before that. six reads, no movement.
Where this rate sits in the category
nineteen cloud hosting tools priced by one method. Entry rates run $0.83 to $35 a month, and the middle sits at $11.
Every calibration point was read the same way and on the same pass, August 2026.
Five charges that sit outside the advertised rate
Sorted by how much each one adds once the site is live.The renewal is the price, and it lands in month thirteen
StartUp goes $2.99 to $17.99 on the yearly term, GrowBig $4.99 to $29.99, GoGeek $7.99 to $44.99: roughly a six-fold step, printed under the buy button in the vendor's smallest type. Nothing about the account changes on that date except the invoice.
Three term lengths, three renewal prices
Month to month runs $24.99, $34.99 and $49.99. A 12-month term cuts that to $17.99, $29.99 and $44.99, and a 24-month term to $14.99, $24.99 and $39.99. The plan names never change; the commitment does, and it moves the bill by up to 40 percent.
The promo exists only on prepaid terms
The $2.99 first-year rate requires twelve months paid in advance. Month-to-month billing exists, but at full renewal price from day one: the cheapest visible number and the most flexible billing never meet.
Rates are quoted before VAT
Tax is added at checkout by country. On an EU invoice that is roughly a fifth on top of every figure on this page.
The price depends on where you buy from
SiteGround sets rates per region rather than converting one list: the EU store quotes euros that are not an exchange of the US dollars. The store your billing address lands on decides your figure.
What SiteGround leaves off the storefront
Two silences on the vendor page, and both land on the invoice: the region deciding your figure, and the renewal doing the real pricing.

SiteGround pricing against Cloudways, Vercel and Neon
A managed host measured against three platforms that bill by resource. The rates are not comparable until you price the work each one leaves you holding.
| The job | SiteGround | The rival | Our verdict on this job |
|---|---|---|---|
| One WordPress site somebody else maintainsBackups, caching and updates handled, no server to log into | StartUp $24.99/mo= $24.99 a month for yourenewal rate, one site | Cloudways $11/mo= $11 a month for youmanaged, priced per server | SiteGround on fitCloudways bills the server and SiteGround bills the plan. For a single site with no ops appetite, the difference is who patches it, and here that is included. |
| A site that ships from a repositoryBuilds on push, previews per branch, a developer already in place | GoGeek $49.99/mo= $49.99 a month for youGit and staging included | Vercel $20/user/mo= $20 a month for youbuilt for the deploy pipeline | VercelVercel is the shape of this job. GoGeek carries Git, but the deployment story belongs to the platform built around it. |
| Several client sites on one invoiceThree to ten sites, handovers, white-label logins | GrowBig $34.99/mo= $34.99 a month for youunlimited sites, 50 GB | Neon $15/mo= $15 a month for youthe database alone, usage on top | SiteGround on rateOne plan carrying every client site is the argument. Per-project pricing turns the tenth site into a tenth invoice. |
Moving to SiteGround from Cloudways, Vercel or Neon: $11 to $20 rivals against $17.99 here
Three platforms that bill for resources against one that bills for a plan. The move is quick and the arithmetic only settles in the second year.
Cloudways
Cloudways runs $11 a month against $35 on SiteGround GrowBig.Cloudways scales by server size and SiteGround by plan, so the comparison flips once the traffic outgrows shared hosting.
- Size the Cloudways server against your traffic first: SiteGround plans hide that decision, servers do not.
- Move one site and run both a week. Managed-to-managed moves fail quietly, in the caching layer.
- Cancel Cloudways only after SiteGround staging has taken a full backup restore.
Vercel
Vercel is $20 a month against $50 on SiteGround GoGeek.Leaving Vercel means leaving the build pipeline. What moves is the site; what stays behind is the workflow around it.
- Static-export whatever can be exported: Vercel serves it free, and SiteGround charges for the box either way.
- Keep the deploy pipeline for apps; move only the WordPress and PHP work SiteGround is actually for.
- Map the domains before the move: two hosts serving one domain is the classic outage.
Neon
Neon costs $15 a month against $35 for SiteGround GrowBig.Neon prices the database alone. Hosting the front end is a separate bill there and an included one here.
- Neon holds the database only. Budget SiteGround as the front-end bill next to it, not instead of it.
- Test the connection pool from SiteGround PHP before pointing production at Neon.
- Watch egress on the Neon side once traffic lands: the database bill moves with reads.
Is SiteGround worth it: premium at $17.99, defensible for one managed site
Updated
4.5 of 5
SiteGround renews at $17.99 a month on the yearly term against an $11.50 median across the twenty hosts in our library, and month to month it is $24.99. Judged on the promotional price it would look like one of the cheapest hosts anywhere, which is the whole trick of the category. The honest comparison uses the renewal table, and on that table SiteGround is a premium product asking a premium.
What the premium buys is management and a term menu. Backups, caching, staging and answered support tickets come with the plan, and the 24-month term at $14.99 gets the entry price back near the category median for anyone willing to commit. For one site run by someone who does not want to run a server, that trade holds. For a developer with a pipeline, the same money rents a bigger box elsewhere.
- You are pricing the first year against the fifththe promo makes the comparison meaningless, and the renewal is the real rate.
- You already run deploymentsGit and staging are the paid differences here, and a resource-billed host gives you the box instead.
- You need one cheap site long termthe renewal is $17.99 a month for a single website with 10 GB.
- You are outside the EU and read a euro pricethe rate is set by region, so the figure you saw may not be the figure you are offered.
