SiteGround WordPress Hosting

Premium Managed WordPress Hosting with AI

SiteGround's WordPress hosting is a fully managed solution optimized specifically for WordPress sites, trusted by millions of users and recommended by WordPress.org itself. With built-in AI Agent for WordPress, automatic updates, custom performance optimizations, and expert 24/7 support from WordPress specialists, SiteGround eliminates technical complexity while delivering enterprise-grade speed and security.

AI Agent for WordPress - Game-Changing Automation

The standout feature is SiteGround's AI Agent for WordPress that turns chat requests into instant site updates. Ask the AI to create pages, add products, update content, optimize images, troubleshoot issues, or manage plugins—all through conversational commands without touching the WordPress dashboard. Free access to AI Studio provides multi-LLM chat (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) from one workspace, with premium upgrades unlocking powerful pre-built prompts and automation agents.

Fully Managed WordPress Updates and Security

SiteGround handles all WordPress maintenance automatically: core updates, plugin updates, security patches, and theme compatibility—all managed proactively to keep your site secure and running smoothly. Custom server-level patches protect against WordPress-specific exploits before they become threats. Daily automated backups (up to 30 copies) with one-click restoration ensure your content is always protected.

Ultrafast WordPress Performance

Powered by Google Cloud Platform infrastructure with WordPress-specific optimizations: multi-level caching (up to 5x speed improvement), 30% faster PHP on GrowBig/GoGeek plans, high-performing MySQL databases, free 1-click CDN, and the custom Speed Optimizer plugin (extended version included). Sites hosted on SiteGround load significantly faster than standard shared hosting platforms.

WordPress-Specific Developer Tools

Advanced features for WordPress developers: one-click staging environment (GrowBig+) for safe testing before pushing changes live, Git integration (GoGeek) for version control workflows, WP-CLI and SSH access for command-line management, PHP version control, and custom Site Tools control panel designed specifically for WordPress workflows. Collaborate with team members through built-in collaborator access.

Free WordPress Migration and Setup

SiteGround's free WordPress Migrator plugin automatically transfers existing WordPress sites with zero downtime. Alternatively, request professional migration by SiteGround experts at no additional cost. New sites install WordPress automatically in one click, with curated themes, plugins, and functionality ready to customize immediately.

Custom WordPress Security and Spam Protection

Enterprise security tailored for WordPress: automatic malware scanning, custom Web Application Firewall (WAF), server-level hardening, proactive WordPress exploit blocking, free SSL certificates, and DDoS protection. Built-in spam protection blocks an average of 12 million unsolicited emails daily, with 600,000 filtered as spam to keep your inbox clean.

WordPress Expert Support 24/7

Round-the-clock support from in-house WordPress specialists who understand WP-specific issues. Quick response times, multiple customer service awards, and GoGeek plan priority support ensure issues are resolved by top technicians. The team is consistently rated as one of the industry's best, with deep WordPress expertise.

Transparent WordPress Hosting Plans

Three tiers match WordPress site needs: StartUp (€2.99/mo) for 1 WordPress site with 10GB storage and ~10,000 visits; GrowBig (€5.49/mo) for unlimited WordPress sites, 20GB storage, ~100,000 visits, plus on-demand backups, ultrafast PHP, and staging; GoGeek (€8.49/mo) for 40GB storage, ~400,000 visits, Git integration, white-label access, priority support, and highest resource tier. All plans fully managed with same core WordPress features.

WooCommerce Ready for WordPress Ecommerce

All WordPress plans include WooCommerce support with PCI-compliant infrastructure, SSL certificates, unlimited databases, and performance optimization for ecommerce. SiteGround provides WooCommerce-specific resources, ebooks, and support to help you launch and scale online stores on WordPress.

Free Premium Features

Every WordPress plan includes: free domain (first year), unlimited email accounts, free email migrator, free CDN, daily backups, enhanced security, SSL, WordPress auto-install, automated migrations, fully managed updates, AI Agent for WordPress, Speed Optimizer plugin, Security Optimizer plugin, unlimited databases, 100% renewable energy match, and 30-day money-back guarantee.

Honest Limitations

SiteGround's premium positioning means higher costs than budget WordPress hosts—renewal rates are 3-5x promotional pricing (€15.99-€39.99/mo). Storage limits (10-40GB) are conservative compared to "unlimited" competitors. The custom Site Tools control panel differs from standard cPanel, requiring adjustment. Monthly visit limits are enforced (though generous). Staging and Git require mid/high-tier plans. Not ideal for users prioritizing lowest possible cost over managed convenience and support quality.
