Choosing the right host for your website is a big decision. Choosing wrong could mean running into problems in the future, so it\u2019s always best to start your website with the right host. With so many different hosting options nowadays, it\u2019s overwhelming to know where to even begin! You could spend hours researching every company and comparing features, but this will likely leave you more confused than when you began. In this article, we will break down the differences for you in two of the most well-known website hosts. Read on to learn whether Bluehost or SiteGround is best for your website!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bluehost <\/span><\/a>hosts over two million websites and it\u2019s a very popular option for a number of reason. One of the biggest reasons is their highly lucrative affiliate program which encourages those who use Bluehost to immediately recommend Bluehost. This creates some biased reviews of the platform, so it\u2019s important to unpack those reviews and learn more about how the host really performs. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bluehost has a lot of great features. The main one is its <\/span>strong uptime<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s almost perfect at 99.98%. This uptime means having no outages for your website, something that\u2019s important if you\u2019re building a website. Along with this, Bluehost also has fast loading times. Loading times can make or break a website, so this isn\u2019t something to take lightly when choosing a host. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the biggest draws to Bluehost is their low introductory pricing. You can start your hosting at only $2,95 a month which is enticing to new bloggers. Finally, Bluehost is a WordPress <\/span>recommended host<\/span><\/a>, and it includes one-click WordPress installation. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, for the bad. Bluehost isn\u2019t as great as its affiliates would lead you to believe. Because there\u2019s over 2 million websites hosted by Bluehost, customer support isn\u2019t very responsive. If you run into a problem with your website, you should expect to spend a good amount of time waiting for assistance. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another thing to consider before jumping on that cheap introductory rate is that it ties you into a lengthy plan. If you want to pay the cheapest price, you\u2019ll need to commit to three years of hosting with Bluehost. After your introductory offer ends, the price jumps. Bluehost also does not like helping people migrate their websites to other hosts, and they\u2019ll charge a hefty fee if you decide to switch. <\/span><\/p>\n Like Bluehost, <\/span>SiteGround<\/span><\/a> is also recommended by WordPress.org. It hosts over 800,000 domain names worldwide which is impressive since they started with only one employee in 2004. SiteGround has made a name for itself as one of the most powerful hosting platforms available right now. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n SiteGround boasts great uptime at 99.98% as well as one of the top six load times of any host. Where they really excel, however, is with customer support. They process thousands of support calls and tickets each day with over 230 people at SiteGround helping with support. Finally, choosing SiteGround means choosing managed WordPress hosting. Someone will be actively monitoring your WordPress website for you to ensure top security, speed, and support. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There aren\u2019t many clear cons to SiteGround, but they are more costly than other hosts. They advertise a low introductory rate, but like BlueHost, they require you to sign up for several years to get that price. If you want to pay monthly, they\u2019ll include an additional fee. They also have limited storage space on some plans compared to other hosts. <\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to customer service and performance, SiteGround beats out the competition every time. Continue reading <\/span>this SiteGround vs Bluehost comparison <\/span><\/a>for more in-depth comparisons. New blogs and websites might not need the additional SiteGround features, and thus might prefer the simplicity of Bluehost. Advanced websites or those who need extra security should choose SiteGround to ensure the best service. Ultimately, choosing the right host is up to you, but hopefully this guide helped show you the right choice. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this article, we will break down the differences for you in two of the most well-known website hosts.
