GigaPros
Pros
- + Written uptime SLA with defined credits (one day of free hosting per hour of downtime)
- + Zero-overselling policy — overage billing instead of suspension when quotas are hit
- + Fully managed plans with 24/7 support and a one-hour human first-response guarantee
- + LiteSpeed, cPanel, Softaculous, daily backups, and free migration on shared plans
- + Long independent track record (since 2008) with a generous 30-day refund plus pro-rated refunds after
Cons
- - Modest quotas — 25 GB storage and 250 GB bandwidth at $10–$25/month is not generous
- - Small operator with thin independent review coverage and few published benchmarks
- - Overage rates ($0.50–$1.00/GB disk) are steep compared with metered cloud storage
- - Marketing claims (e.g. '600% faster' SSDs) are unverifiable multipliers; site copy is dated
SiteGround
Pros
- + 20+ years independent operation, WordPress.org-recommended, 3M+ domains — proven track record
- + Google Cloud infrastructure with 11 datacenter locations across US/EU/APAC and 170-point CDN
- + Support widely rated highly for shared hosting tiers; free expert migration included
- + 30 days of geo-distributed backup restore points, free SSL, daily backups on the lineup
- + Renewal rates are published openly in the KB rather than hidden
Cons
- - Renewals jump 4-5x from intro pricing (StartUp to $14.99-$17.99/mo standard)
- - StartUp plan limits: 1 site, 10 GB storage; daily backup coverage on StartUp is ambiguous
- - No root access or stack control — shared hosting economics at premium prices
- - Cores/RAM not published for shared plans; fair-use resource ceilings are opaque
- - Growing product surface (AI tools, email marketing) dilutes the hosting focus
