SiteGround

About

SiteGround is a premium-leaning shared and managed WordPress host with a strong reputation for fast, knowledgeable support and in-house performance tooling like server-level caching and their SG Optimizer plugin. It's a frequent recommendation in WordPress communities for people who'd rather pay more than fight their host. Pros: highly rated customer support, solid performance tooling, daily backups on most plans, free email accounts. Cons: among the pricier shared hosts, strict storage caps on entry plans, renewal pricing jumps, no free domain on the cheapest tier. Pricing shown is approximate intro pricing and changes often — check the host's site for the current price.
