SiteGround gestisce ancora alcuni degli hosting condivisi meglio progettati che puoi acquistare, e lo addebita ogni anno dopo il primo. Il nostro punteggio medio è pari a 4.8 fuori da 5 attraverso 29,176 recensioni che abbiamo esaminato. È un voto alto, and the hosting behind it is genuinely good. What has changed in 2026 is the company around the hosting: a push into AI tools that many paying customers never asked for.
We read SiteGround’s plan pages, its cart and the full terms of service on 7 e 8 ottobre 2026. We read all 180 uno- and two-star Trustpilot reviews from the past year, plus a year of Reddit threads. Two thirds of those low ratings were written without an invitation from SiteGround. We also pinged 10 di suo 11 data centers from home connections in 10 paesi. Most reviews that rank for this provider test one site for a few weeks. Ours looks at what happens when something goes wrong: the uptime contract, the refund terms and the complaints that never reach the five-star feed.
La risposta breve: SiteGround is a strong pick for WordPress sites in North America, Europe and Australia, valutato 4.8 a partire dal 29,176 recensioni. Customers praise fast support and solid tools. They complain about renewal prices six times the entry rate, AI-first support routing and an AI plugin installed on their sites without asking.

SiteGround began installing its AI Agent plugin on customers’ WordPress sites by 22 Maggio 2026, the date of the first WordPress.org complaint. Any review older than that misses why the plugin now shows 81 one-star ratings out of 97.

Caratteristiche e servizi
SiteGround sells shared hosting in three tiers (Avviare, GrowBig e GoGeek), managed cloud servers, reseller accounts and a standalone website builder. Its WordPress and WooCommerce pages sell the same three shared plans with different marketing. Everything runs on Google Cloud, with SiteGround’s own control panel, called Site Tools, invece di cPanel.
The Tools That Matter Day to Day
Backup giornalieri, 30 days deep: every plan keeps daily copies “fino a 30 giorni fa”, and SiteGround says they sit in separate locations from your live site. That matters after a hack, because a backup stored on the same compromised server is worthless. On-demand backups start at GrowBig.
messa in scena: GrowBig and GoGeek let you copy a WordPress site, test changes and push them live. GoGeek adds Git. This is the feature agencies mention most when they explain why they stay.
Free migrations and caching: a free migrator plugin moves WordPress sites in. Every plan also gets SiteGround’s own caching and CDN. un CDN (rete di consegna dei contenuti) serves copies of your pages from servers near each visitor.
Node.js and an AI layer: SiteGround added Node.js hosting on 1 ottobre 2026. Its hosted WordPress sites also get AI Studio with 20,000 free tokens a month. That AI layer is where many of 2026’s complaints start.
Limits the Plan Page Leaves Out
SiteGround’s plan cards don’t list resource caps. Its fair-use article does, though it was last updated in October 2021. StartUp gets 10,000 CPU seconds a day and 200,000 inode. Un inode è un file, folder or email on your account. GrowBig doubles the CPU allowance to 20,000 seconds and allows 400,000 inode; GoGeek gets 40,000 secondi e 600,000 inode. Go over them repeatedly and SiteGround “may need to limit the access to your website”.
Which limit do customers actually hit? inodes, soprattutto. A settembre 2026 a GoGeek user on Reddit reported 478,327 di 600,000 inodes used across seven sites, with no email hosted at SiteGround. WordPress image sizes multiply fast, so a media-heavy site can burn through StartUp’s allowance long before its 10 GB di memoria.
Where SiteGround Hosts Your Site
You pick one of 11 locations at checkout: Iowa, Virginia, Texas and California in the US, plus the Netherlands, Parigi, Madrid, Francoforte, Londra, Singapore e Sydney. Everything in that account lives in the region you choose. There is nothing in South America, Africa, India or the Middle East. For a shop selling to Brazil or India, that gap shows up in every page load.
Performance Expectations From Our Network Test
We measured network latency, the time a small packet takes to reach a server and come back. Su 7 e 8 ottobre 2026 we pinged ten SiteGround shared servers, one per location, from home and mobile internet connections in 10 paesi. We used Globalping’s public probes and sent 10 packets per probe. We couldn’t find a Paris server name, so Paris isn’t in the results.
Here is the closest SiteGround location for each country we tested, with its average round trip:
| Posizione della sonda | Fastest SiteGround location | Average round trip |
|---|---|---|
| Madrid, Spagna | Madrid | 3.4 SM |
| Singapore | Singapore | 3.1 SM |
| Amburgo, Germania | Olanda | 10.1 SM |
| Manchester, UK | Londra | 10.3 SM |
| Filadelfia, NOI | Virginia | 10.7 SM |
| Toronto, Canada | Iowa | 25.2 SM |
| Brisbane, Australia | Sydney | 25.5 SM |
| Macerata, Italia | Francoforte | 28.1 SM |
| Aizawl, India | Singapore | 109.7 SM |
| Parnaiba, Brasile | Virginia | 128.4 SM |

Eight countries reach a SiteGround location in under 30 SM; India and Brazil don’t. fonte: la nostra misurazione Globalping, 7-8 ottobre 2026.
Eight of ten countries reached a SiteGround location in under 30 SM, che è eccellente. India and Brazil did not. Our Indian probe sits in Aizawl, in the far north-east, so other Indian cities may see different times. In entrambi i casi, no SiteGround server sits inside India. Treat this as a map of network distance. Velocità di caricamento della pagina, caching and how busy a shared server is are separate questions.
One oddity is worth knowing. Two servers named for Iowa answered exactly like servers in Virginia and Texas, so SiteGround’s server names don’t always match where a machine runs. We used an Iowa server whose address and timing both fit Iowa.
Esperienza del cliente
Most SiteGround customers are happy, but two very different groups write reviews. Trustpilot mostra a 4.9 TrustScore from 31,001 recensioni, e 93.96% of them give five stars. Solo 3.50% dare una stella.
The split shows up when you sort by who prompted the review. Del 200 recensioni più recenti, pubblicato tra 25 Settembre e 7 ottobre 2026, 196 came through SiteGround’s invitation links, and those averaged 4.98. Solo 4 del più nuovo 200 non sono stati richiesti. The low ratings come mostly from that second group, as the next section shows. Entrambi i gruppi sono veri clienti, quindi il 4.9 depends heavily on who SiteGround asks to write.
Why People Stay
Long-time agency users on Reddit are the most convincing fans. One has hosted client sites on SiteGround since 2014 and is still satisfied. Un altro, six years in, names GrowBig’s staging and the migrator plugin as the tools that keep them there. A reseller running about 60 client sites on SiteGround Cloud wrote that they’re “very happy” with the support, even while shopping for cheaper options.
Dove va storto
We pulled every one- and two-star Trustpilot review from the 12 months to 7 ottobre 2026. There were 180 di loro, 2.85% del 6,312 reviews posted in that time, e 66% non sono stati richiesti. A keyword count across those 180 shows the pattern:
- Fatturazione, renewals and cancelling (71 recensioni, 39%): choc di rinnovamento, double charges, renewals taken before the due date and trouble switching off auto-renewal.
- Reaching a person (30, 17%): support now starts with an AI assistant, and many reviewers describe loops before they reach staff.
- Tempi di inattività, malware and spam (29, 16%): hacked sites, suspended mailboxes and outages.
- The AI plugin (14, 8%): an AI agent appearing on WordPress sites unasked.
- Coderick AI and AI Studio (8, 4%): complaints about the paid AI products themselves.

Billing problems outnumber every other complaint in the past year’s low ratings. fonte: Trustpilot, leggere 8 ottobre 2026; our keyword count.
Every full month brought between 10 e 19 di loro. So the AI rollout didn’t trigger a flood of low ratings; it added a new reason to an existing stream.
Il maggio 2026 AI Plugin Rollout
In late May 2026 SiteGround added its “AI Agent by SiteGround” plugin to customers’ Siti WordPress, activated and connected. SiteGround’s own 1 giugno 2026 post confirms that on its hosting the connector “comes pre-installed and pre-connected as the default”. Its staff say customers got an email first and that the plugin can be removed at any time.
Customers saw it differently. Review titles repeat “installed without consent” again and again. When SiteGround’s staff quoted the notice email in reply, one reviewer answered that it never said a plugin would be installed. The plugin’s WordPress.org page now shows 1.6 fuori da 5 stelle da 97 giudizi, con 81 of them one star.

The one-star bar dwarfs the rest, and most review titles object to the May 2026 auto-install. WordPress.org plugin directory, AI Agent by SiteGround, catturato 8 ottobre 2026.
Some reports go further. A business on Reddit said the activated plugin broke forms that its Google Ads pointed to. SiteGround says a security flaw in version 1.2.0, rilasciato 28 Maggio 2026, was fixed in 1.2.1 sopra 4 giugno. It adds that hosted sites updated automatically. SiteGround also told customers it can remove the plugin in bulk for anyone with many sites. If you host with SiteGround, check your plugin list.
Supporto dentro 2026
SiteGround offre 24/7 Chiacchierare, telefono e biglietti, with an in-house team. Esiste il supporto telefonico, but finding it takes effort. A Reddit user in August 2026 posted the route: eight clicks after logging in, through the billing menus, to reveal the number and access code. SiteGround replied that its AI assistant guides people to the right channel.
When staff are reached, reviews are usually warm. The friction is getting there, plus queue times during incidents. Su 17 settembre 2026 one Reddit user reported several sites down and chat waits of up to 55 minuti.
When to Use SiteGround
SiteGround fits buyers who value tools and support more than storage, and who will pay the full rate after year one.
Buyers It Serves Well
Agenzie e liberi professionisti: GrowBig and GoGeek host unlimited sites with staging, collaborators and white-label access on GoGeek. Splitting a USD 44.99 renewal across ten clients turns an expensive plan into a cheap one per site. I nostri Confronto hosting rivenditori sets it against hosts built around WHM.
WordPress owners in North America, Europa o Australia: our probes reached a nearby SiteGround location in under 30 ms from eight of ten countries. Daily backups kept 30 days deep cover most disasters a small site meets.
Small shops that want help on call: a WooCommerce owner who can’t fix PHP errors alone gets 24/7 staff who know WordPress well. That’s worth more than extra gigabytes.
Needs It Meets Well
- Restoring a site from any day in the past month without a paid add-on
- Testing changes on a staging copy before going live (Crescere in grande e crescere)
- Moving a WordPress site in for free
- Choosing a European data center for EU data storage
When NOT to Use SiteGround
Some buyers will regret the second invoice more than they enjoy the first year.
Signs It Is the Wrong Host for You
You’re on a tight long-term budget: StartUp’s renewal is 6.02 volte il prezzo di entrata. A single blog paying USD 215.88 un anno per 10 GB is overpaying.
Your visitors are in India or South America: SiteGround has no data center there. Our Brazilian probe’s best round trip was 128.4 SM, to Virginia.
You want your hosting left alone: il maggio 2026 AI plugin showed SiteGround will add software to your WordPress sites by default. If you manage client sites under strict change control, that’s a real risk.
You need to talk to a human fast: support starts with an AI assistant, and phone access is buried in the help menus.
Your site stores lots of small files: inode caps of 200,000 per 600,000 can force an upgrade before you run out of disk space.
Check Before You Commit
Read the renewal line under each plan, not the big number. Pick the 24-month term if you’ll stay two years; in the EUR storefront’s cart it saved EUR 60. Count your files before you migrate a large site. For flat pricing, guarda Cloudways; for data centers in India and Brazil, Hostinger covers both.

SiteGround Plans and Pricing
All three shared plans renew at roughly six times their first-year price. Prices below come from SiteGround’s international USD storefront, as listed, senza alcuna linea d'imposta mostrata. Visitors in other regions see local prices; the EUR storefront, per esempio, lists StartUp at EUR 2.99, rinnovo all'EUR 15.99 IVA esclusa. On the USD storefront, L'avvio costa USD 2.99 a month for the first 12 mesi, poi USD 17.99.

Look below the button: the renewal price sits in small type under the large USD 2.99. SiteGround web hosting page, international USD storefront, catturato 8 ottobre 2026.
Condivisa, WordPress and WooCommerce Plans
| Piano | Primo 12 mesi | Si rinnova a | Multiplier | siti web | Conservazione |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avviare | USD 2,99/mese | USD 17,99/mese | 6.02X | 1 | 10 GB |
| GrowBig | USD 4,99/mese | USD 29,99/mese | 6.01X | Illimitato | 50 GB |
| Gog | USD 7,99/mese | USD 44,99/mese | 5.63X | Illimitato | 100 GB |
Avviso di rinnovo: StartUp goes from Dollaro statunitense 2.99 per Dollaro statunitense 17.99 un mese, un' 502% aumento. Your first year costs USD 35.88; the second costs USD 215.88. The cart’s small print says the discount applies “to the first invoice only”.
The renewal prices themselves aren’t new. Archived copies of the pricing page show USD 17.99, 29.99 e 44.99 as regular prices back to January 2024. Qualsiasi recensione che citi USD 14.99 for StartUp is using figures from before then.
Billing Terms in the Cart
SiteGround’s cart sends visitors from our location to its EUR storefront (eu.siteground.com), whatever region the site is set to. So we couldn’t check USD terms, and the figures below are the EUR storefront’s, IVA esclusa. Its cart offers three terms: 1, 12 o 24 mesi, with no 36-month option.
- 12 mesi: StartUp EUR 2.99 un mese, euro 35.88 in anticipo. This is the only term with the full discount.
- 24 mesi: StartUp EUR 6.99 un mese, euro 167.76 in anticipo. That beats two separate years (euro 227.76) by EUR 60.
- Mensile: StartUp EUR 22.99 a month with no discount at all. Questo è 44% more than the EUR 15.99 tasso di rinnovo.
Free trials of Site Scanner, Premium Backup and Email Marketing appear in the cart, but none is ticked by default. If you do start one, it bills 5 days before the trial ends, per 12 mesi.
Cloud Hosting
Cloud plans are billed monthly with no intro discount, quindi non c’è shock di rinnovamento. Jump Start costs USD 100 un mese per 4 Core della CPU, 8 GB di RAM e 40 GB di memoria SSD. Attività commerciale (8 nuclei, 12 GB) costa USD 200, Business Plus USD 300 and Super Power USD 400. Refunds on cloud last 14 giorni, non 30.
Costs That Show Up Later
- Rinnovo dominio: the free .com is free for year one only; the EUR storefront’s cart then lists EUR 20.99 un anno.
- Il “gratuito” domain on a refund: SiteGround may deduct the standard domain fee from your refund.
- Supporto a pagamento: the terms allow some technical help to be sold as paid support credits. Parecchi 2026 reviewers say they were offered paid help to fix site problems.
- Standalone builder: the website builder now has its own plans from USD 10 un mese (prepaid yearly, rinnovamento appartamento) if you don’t buy hosting.
What You Pay For
Year one at USD 2.99 is a fair price for what’s included. Year two at USD 17.99 for one site and 10 GB is expensive by any measure. You’re paying for the support team, the backups and the tooling, not for raw resources. If you can’t justify USD 215.88 a year for a small site, plan your exit before month 12.

SiteGround Transparency Score
Informazioni aziendali: Buona. The terms name the contracting company, SiteGround Spain S.L., with its Madrid address and tax number. The About page describes a privately owned group registered in five countries. It does so only in general terms, so you need the terms to find the legal entity.
Trasparenza dei prezzi: Buona. Every plan card prints the renewal price and the 12-month prepay term. Monthly and 24-month prices appear only in the cart, and the cart is locked to your region’s storefront.
Documentazione tecnica: Buona. Tutti 11 locations are listed at checkout, and the fair-use limits are published. But the limits sit in a knowledge base article last updated in 2021, not on the plan page.
Termini e politiche: Eccellente. The terms are versioned, dated and link to the previous version. The problem lies in their content. The uptime guarantee promises 99.9% un mese, and the remedy is 5% della tariffa di quel mese, paid only as extra hosting time. On StartUp’s USD 17.99 valutare, that’s just under USD 0.90. Failures “remedied under 1 ora” don’t count, and neither does downtime when you hit your plan’s resource limits. SiteGround measures uptime with its own records and won’t accept third-party monitoring as proof.
SiteGround’s terms revision dated 18 agosto 2026 also widened the refund exclusions. Services can now be marked non-refundable “on any portion of our website”, e “digital Services that are delivered in full” are excluded. The 30-day window for shared hosting is unchanged.
Trasparenza generale: Buona. SiteGround publishes more than most hosts, including dated terms. What it publishes is often less generous than the marketing suggests, so read the terms before you rely on the uptime promise.
Alternatives to SiteGround
These three fix the two biggest gaps above, the renewal jump and the missing regions, at three different price levels.
For a Price That Stays the Same: CloudWays
Cloudways bills hourly with no intro rate, da USD 14 a month for its default 1 serverGB. You get your own server for less than SiteGround’s GrowBig renewal, though you’ll manage more yourself. I nostri Revisione di Cloudways copre i compromessi.
Per l'India, Brazil and a Lower Bill: Hostinger
Hostinger runs data centers in India and Brazil. Premium needs a 48-month prepay at USD 2.99 un mese, poi si rinnova in USD 10.99. Expect less hand-holding from support, come il nostro Recensione di Hostinger spiega.
Per WordPress gestito Premium: Kinsta
Kinsta’s cheapest plan, Singolo 20GB, costa USD 35 un mese, o USD 30 un mese fatturato annualmente. There’s no first-year discount to lose. It suits a business that wants managed WordPress without a renewal surprise; vedi il nostro Recensione Kinsta.
SiteGround deserves its 4.8 a partire dal 29,176 reviews for one reason: when you reach its staff, they fix things. The hosting is fast where its data centers are, and the backups and staging are better than most rivals include.
La linea di fondo
Buy SiteGround if you run several WordPress sites in North America, Europe or Australia and can live with a renewal six times the entry price. Agencies get the best value, because GrowBig or GoGeek costs spread across clients. Skip it for a single budget site, or for visitors in India or South America. Hostinger costs less over time and reaches both regions, e il nostro confronto dell'hosting condiviso ranks the cheaper long-term options. After you sign up, check your WordPress plugin list and set a reminder for month 11.
Domande frequenti
Is SiteGround a good choice for a first WordPress site?
sì, per il primo anno. L'avvio costa USD 2.99 a month and includes daily backups, libera migrazione e 24/7 supporto. From month 13 costa USD 17.99, so budget for that or plan a move.
What does SiteGround StartUp cost once the discount ends?
Si rinnova a USD 17.99 a month on the international USD storefront, fatturato 12 mesi alla volta. Sono dollari americani 215.88 un anno, contro USD 35.88 per il primo anno.
What do customers complain about most in 2026?
Billing comes first: prezzi di rinnovo, double charges and cancelling auto-renewal. After that come AI-first support and the AI plugin SiteGround installed on WordPress sites in May 2026.
Is SiteGround cheaper than Hostinger over time?
No. Hostinger Premium costa USD 143.52 for four years upfront, poi si rinnova in USD 10.99 un mese. SiteGround StartUp already costs USD 251.76 over its first two years.
What are SiteGround’s inode limits?
StartUp allows 200,000 inode, GrowBig 400,000 e GoGeek 600,000. Every file, folder and email counts. Image-heavy WordPress sites can hit this limit before they fill their storage.
Can I get my money back from SiteGround?
sì, entro 30 days of activation for shared hosting and 14 days for cloud. Domain fees aren’t refunded, and SiteGround may deduct the standard price of a free domain from your refund.
