Review | 1 year with siteground hosting!

1 year with siteground hosting my experience as a blogger | soyvirgo.com

In 2018, I bought website hosting for the first time with Siteground.com. This is my one year with siteground review!

The services I paid for was a start-up and I included domain privacy and Scanner. (P.S, you do not need to purchase scanner! There are free options to use)

All of that came up to $95. 

You don’t have to do what I did, you can easily pay $63 for the domain name (if you don’t have one) and hosting.

Anyways, in February 14 2019, I had to renew my service. The price came up to $203! The reason for that is the cheap deals only last for 12 months, then after the year ends, the regular prices come at you.

I decided to take off the extra services and only pay for my domain name (soyvirgo.com) and the hosting.

Total: 159.35

P.S! Make sure to pay the annual fee up front, if you decide to do monthly payments, there is a hidden fee of $14. Anyways if you want more information on that, you can read this post, How to set-up a site with Siteground hosting.   Blogger experience with Siteground Hosting Service one year with Siteground.com | by soyvirgo.com  

Siteground Hosting Review | one year with siteground

I’m a blogger that isn’t great at explaining the tech side and benefits of a hosting service, so I will just give you a simple 1-5 star review of a few important topics.

☆☆☆☆☆ WordPress Compatibility!

I worried a ton about transferring from a free hosted blog to my new domain. My mind was running and all I could think of was if everything would transfer or would I have to start back from 0? Well the answer is NO! WordPress and Siteground make it so easy to blog and transfer everything whether you are self-hosted or using a different hosting service. SiteGround will migrate your site for free, click here website migration

☆☆☆☆☆ Speed!

It’s great okay, I mean there’s nothing bad to say here. If you do a quick search you will see comparisons of Siteground and other cheaper hosting and Siteground comes out on top. Right now I have problems with my site’s speed at times but that’s because I’m not sure if I’m properly compressing images and deleting cache. I still have a ton to learn!

☆☆☆☆☆ Price!

So I already explained the cost of siteground and I think it’s great for a beginner domain + hosting plan buyer. The price was worth it for what they offer you. It’s a great price if you plan to gain attention and make money with your site.   

☆☆☆☆☆ Customer Service!

So this screenshot below is of a review I left on this website called Host Jury (no longer exists). I just wanted to leave a review so more people can trust SiteGround. The 4 1/2 stars was probably because I was being a baby since I didn’t like that they couldn’t help me with something I should have done on my own lol. siteground reviews 2022 soyvirgo.com one year with siteground soyvirgo.com

    Siteground customer support is so good! The price for renewal is a bit expensive but their service so far has been good and I think I’m going to continue using theirs 😂

    I’ve heard a lot of good things about siteground hosting, I’m with surpass right now though. I do know they are highly regarded on the WordPress sub on reddit.

    I couldn’t agree more. I’ve asked many noob questions when I moved my site to self hosted. Never any problem and they are very helpful

      Oh really? Cool! I can’t always tell when bloggers are self hosted or not. I hope it turns out well whichever service you go with!
