Premium shared and cloud hosting built on Google Cloud infrastructure.
In our independent evaluation across 7 scored dimensions, SiteGround earns an overall score of 85/100 — a strong result in the web hosting category. The platform is available starting at $4.99/month, positioned at the affordable end of the market. The score of 85 places it in the excellent tier of our web hosting rankings, where we assess tools on criteria that matter to builders: performance, uptime, price / value, and more. SiteGround runs on Google Cloud with its own custom caching layer (SuperCacher) and is consistently praised for proactive, technically competent support — though its shared plans enforce strict monthly-visit caps that traffic spikes can hit faster than the plan names suggest.
SiteGround scores highest on Uptime (95/100) and Support (93/100), placing it among the stronger performers in those areas within the web hosting category. The dimensions with the most room for improvement are Scalability (70/100) and Price / Value (72/100) — teams who weight these criteria most heavily should compare SiteGround carefully against alternatives before committing. The pricing structure is straightforward for the category — factor in any usage-based overages when budgeting at scale. Our recommendation: SiteGround is worth a serious evaluation for teams that prioritise uptime — use the radar chart and dimension breakdown on this page to see at a glance whether its profile matches your priorities.
Pros
Cons
SiteGround is the right choice for teams that prioritise uptime above everything else — the dimension where SiteGround scores highest. Skip it if scalability is a hard requirement for you, since SiteGround scores only 70/100 there — in that case, the web hosting category page ranks every alternative by that specific dimension so you can find a closer fit. For most other use cases, the 85/100 overall score reflects a tool that holds up well in day-to-day use.

The lowest-scoring dimension for SiteGround in our testing is Scalability (70/100). This does not make it the wrong choice — if scalability is not a priority for your use case, the gap is irrelevant.
