SiteGround pricing

What SiteGround costs tier by tier, and why its renewal rates, among the steepest in shared hosting, decide your bill.

SiteGround keeps its lineup simple with three shared plans, but the pricing has a sting in the tail. Intro rates are reasonable and apply to the first term, then renew at some of the highest prices in mainstream shared hosting. Plans run from StartUp through GrowBig to GoGeek, scaling sites, storage and the monthly visits each can comfortably handle. You pay for genuinely fast Google Cloud infrastructure and excellent support, and at renewal you feel it. Below is each plan as published, then the factors that move your real spend.

What moves the real bill

The renewal, not the intro, sets the bill.

Four things tend to separate SiteGround's intro price from what you actually pay. Plan for these before you commit.

The steep renewal. Intro rates apply to the first term, then renew among the highest in shared hosting. StartUp renews near $17.99 and GoGeek near $44.99 a month, so the renewal is the figure that matters.
Visits and resources, not just storage. Each plan is tuned for a rough monthly visit ceiling and a server resource allowance. Outgrowing those, not running out of storage, is what usually forces an upgrade.
The StartUp ceiling. StartUp caps you at one website with no daily backups and modest resources, so most growing sites move to GrowBig sooner than the price difference suggests.
Term length. Intro pricing rewards a longer first term. Shorter terms still renew at the same high standard rate, so the saving is front loaded into year one.
Pricing questions

SiteGround pricing FAQ

How much does SiteGround cost per month?

Intro rates are $2.99 for StartUp, $4.99 for GrowBig and $7.99 for GoGeek per month on annual terms. Renewals are far higher, for example StartUp near $17.99 and GoGeek near $44.99. Pricing as of June 2026; check the vendor for current pricing.

Why is SiteGround so expensive at renewal?

Because the advertised price is a first term promotion. When that term ends, plans renew at the standard rate, which is among the steepest in shared hosting. The renewal price, not the intro, is the real long term cost to budget for.

Which SiteGround plan should I choose?

GrowBig at $4.99 is the value pick for most sites, adding unlimited websites, daily backups and staging. StartUp suits a single small site, while GoGeek fits higher traffic sites that need more resources and priority support.

How many visits can each SiteGround plan handle?

SiteGround tunes plans to rough visit ceilings: StartUp around 10,000 monthly visits, GrowBig around 100,000 and GoGeek around 400,000. These are guidelines, and resource use, not just traffic, can prompt an upgrade. Verified June 2026.
