Not only that, but we have automated the whole process from installation until site launch with the help of our WordPress Starter wizard. The WordPress Starter tool allows you to choose from a curated collection of professional site designs and add key functionalities like contact forms, an online store, a portfolio, and more. All the features you select are automatically installed on your site, turning the standard default WordPress installation into a beautiful and fully-functional website in minutes - no technical knowledge required!

This tool allows you to choose from a selected collection of professional site designs and add key functionalities like contact forms, an online store, a portfolio, and more. All the features you select are automatically installed on your site, turning the standard default WordPress installation into a beautiful and fully-functional website in minutes - no technical knowledge required!

Free WordPress Migrator

Migrating a website with our WordPress Migrator is super easy and free. You just need to install our Migrator plugin on the site you want to migrate, get a token from your SiteGround Site Tools and put it in the plugin. The Migrator will securely move all of your content while keeping your configuration intact. The best thing is that it’s completely free and you can use it for as many migrations as you wish.

We offer professional website migration service for as low as per site. Our experts will do all the work for you, transferring your files and databases. We migrate more than 50,000 sites per year and know the ins and outs of how to make the process smooth and risk-free for you!

Automatic WordPress Updates

Keeping your WordPress application up-to-date with the latest version is an important step in maintaining a secure site. Our automatic WordPress software and plugin updates make that process easy and fast. You can schedule how fast your site gets updated after a new version is released or even skip a version if you need more time to prepare for the update.

Custom Firewall Rules To Patch Vulnerabilities

We manage the overall security of your application at a server and firewall level by keeping track of WordPress-related vulnerabilities and patching against exploits. We add dozens of such rules each year and we are able to protect your sites even before the official developers release a security update.

All-in-one SiteGround Security Plugin

We crafted an all-in-one WordPress security plugin which combines everything you need to secure your website in one place. The SiteGround Security helps you protect your website from brute-force attacks, common hacks, data leaks, and more with a few clicks. It's a must-have for every WordPress site.

Powerful Google Cloud Platform

Our platform is hosted on the Google Cloud and enjoys the fastest network and the latest modern hardware with SSD persistent storage. Google infrastructure is known for innovation, reliability and speed, which guarantees a great performance for any website.

Unique Caching Options

By default, we enable NGINX Direct Delivery for all sites on our servers, which means that certain items, like your images, will load faster from the memory of the server. However, the biggest impact on the WordPress loading speed is achieved when connecting your site with our NGINX-based dynamic cache and Memcached service. (The option is available on our GrowBig and GoGeek plans).

Free SiteGround Optimizer Plugin

Our free SiteGround Optimizer allows you to use all our unique caching options listed above. Through it you can also easily improve your site speed by setting the optimal PHP version, switching on the HTTPS option and using our automated image optimizations, lazy image loading, GZIP compression, CSS&HTML minifications and more.

+30% Faster PHP

Our custom PHP implementation makes your pages load up to 30% faster, cutting the TTFB (time to first byte) and allowing the server to process more of your visits faster. The service is available on GrowBig and higher plans. You can read more about this technology in our blog.

Site speed can greatly influence both your search engine visibility and your website’s conversion rates. That’s why we quickly adopt new technologies and develop in-house such that make sites run faster!

Ultrafast PHP available for up to 30% faster sites
SuperCacher: NGINX direct delivery of static resources, dynamic cache switched on for all by default, Memcache option.

Get 30 backup copies stored in different data centers

Sleep easy knowing your site is fully backed up in case of data loss, hacking, or human error. We automatically save daily backups and keep up to 30 copies of your account. For an additional layer of security these backups may be stored in a data center located in another city, state or country.

On-demand backups

In addition to our automated backups, customers can generate backups on demand from their Site Tools. The service is free on our GrowBig and GoGeek plans and costs on our StartUp plan.

Free backup restores

Our backup options are a great way to protect your website from downtime and traffic loss, as backup restore is the fastest way to resolve a large number of common website issues. Backup restores are free on all of our shared hosting plans.

Create unlimited email accounts

Create professional email addresses with your website domain at no extra cost. You can create as many accounts as you need and easily give access to individual accounts to your employees, team or else.

Use friendly webmail interface

You can read your email via webmail from anywhere. What is more, you and users of the email accounts you created could change their passwords, set autoresponders and forwarders easily from our webmail app.

Create forwarders and autoresponders

When using your email for business, it’s essential to have the options to set autoresponders and forwarders. You can do that from Site Tools >Email section and from the webmail app.

SMTP, POP3 and IMAP protocols supported

Our email service allows you to send and receive messages in email accounts created at your own domain thanks to the SMTP, POP3 and IMAP protocols which we support on our platform.

Why do you need an SSL?

Having an SSL is more than just a best practice for websites, it’s an industry standard. SSL certificates protect the data transmitted through your site and make sure you meet the requirements of search engines that flag unsecured sites. It is mandatory for ecommerce sites and those that gather user data.

Free SSL for all sites hosted on our platform

We partnered and financially supported since its founding the Let’s Encrypt project, which offers free SSL for anyone. With our in-house integration of Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates can be issued and renewed automatically for sites hosted on our platform.

All new sites hosted on our platform get the free Standard SSL enabled. Clients may switch to a free Wildcard SSL at any time from their Site Tools. Read more.

Many of our customers maintain dynamic sites that require updates and changes as their businesses grow. However, big changes can be risky and it's a good practice to test any major change in a safe environment that won't affect your live site. That is why we've developed our Staging tool, which is available on our GrowBig and GoGeek plans.

Easily create a working copy of your site

The Staging tool allows you to create an exact copy of your site in a click so you can work on it before pushing changes live. That way you can test any new code changes and make sure they don’t break your site. Or, you can modify the environment to see how your site will behave with a new PHP version for example before switching it live.

Push changes live in a click

Any changes made can be pushed to your live site with confidence, in one click! Upon pushing live, you can exclude databases and other changes that might overwrite new data recorded on the live site during testing. Just to be on the safe side, we also perform automatic backups each time you upload a staging version to production.

For WordPress developers we have a few conveniences that allow you to manage your sites through a command line interface:

WP-CLI is pre-installed on our servers and available for use on all plans
SSH access is freely available on all plans
Multisite SFTP key to manage all your sites easily
Easy switch of the PHP version for each site in your account
Git integration of your WordPress is available on our GoGeek accounts

Ship Sites to Clients

You may transfer a website from your Account to a different SiteGround client and make recommendations about the hosting plan and additional services they need to activate. Especially useful for designers, developers, and agencies shipping sites to clients.

Collaborators Can Be Added

Collaborators can be added to any site hosted on any of our hosting plans. People added as collaborators receive their own access to the Site Tools of the website they help building and/or maintaining. They also have their own Client area and can contact our support team if this is needed as part of the site maintenance.

White-label Reselling and Client Management

On GoGeek and Cloud hosting plans, you can provide white-label access to the Site Tools of the sites you build for your clients. When your client logs in the Site Tools of their website, they won’t see the SiteGround logo or name anywhere.
