Scorecard
Five things you get by moving from SiteGround.
Every one of these is on your plan from the day you arrive, and clause 7.5 of our Terms holds the price you signed up at for as long as your subscription runs.
One price, first year and every year
Web Hosting Start is US$3/mo when you sign up and US$3/mo at every renewal after it, held there by clause 7.5. SiteGround publish StartUp at a figure we could not verify today, renewing at a figure we could not verify today.
One price, with the tax shown

Q + A
What buyers ask us about SiteGround.
These are the questions buyers send us while they are deciding between SiteGround and us, answered the way one of our own engineers would answer them on the phone.
Why is their opening price so much lower?
Because it is an opening price. After the first year the same plan renews at a figure we could not verify today. Web Hosting Start is US$3/mo when you sign up and US$3/mo when you renew, locked by clause 7.5. Both ladders are set out year by year above.
Will my site still be fast here?
Yes, and it is on from the minute your site lands. Your pages are served fast on every plan, and they stay that way while you get on with the site.
Can I move before my term is up?
Yes. Whatever you have prepaid is settled on their terms, and you can move whenever you want. The migration tools are free on every plan.
