Whatever your hosting needs, we can advise on the best hosting solution for your website and company.
Shared hosting is by far the most popular type of WordPress hosting used by beginners. As the name implies, shared hosting is where you share a server with a lot of other websites. By having multiple websites on the same server, hosting providers can offer the service at a much more affordable rate. The main downside to shared hosting is that all the websites on the server are sharing resources. So, based upon the hardware of the server, there will be usage restrictions. If any site starts to take up substantial server load, they will politely force you to upgrade your account, because any one site hogging resources, can have a negative effect on the overall performance of all the other sites hosted on the same server.
Virtual Private Server (VPS) refers to a "virtual" separate server, solely used by your website. Whilst you still share the physical hardware with a handful of other sites, the server hardware is partitioned into multiple "virtual" servers, allocating resources according to each individual customer's need. It also has the privacy of a separate physical computer and can be configured to run specific server softwares. Often developers, intermediate users, and medium-sized bloggers utilize VPS to scale their websites. If you do NOT have any technical knowledge, then you need to make sure that you purchase a managed VPS, such as our Premium Hosting plan. This means that the hosting provider manages all system upgrades, and they are available to assist you if needed. VPS hosting is best for medium-sized businesses, high traffic blogs, and aspiring designers/developers.
Dedicated server is a complete, standalone physical server that you can lease from the hosting provider. This allows you to have full control over the server including the choice of operating system, hardware etc. You will only ever need a dedicated server once your site is receiving a significant amount of traffic (hundreds of thousands of visitors a day). Dedicated Servers are best for extremely high traffic sites.
SiteGround offers shared hosting, but with speed and security optimised hardware/software, premium features and excellent support. It's a little more expensive than most budget hosting plans, but if your WordPress site needs to be as fast and secure as possible, without breaking the bank, then there really is no better alternative.
