Powerful WordPress Hosting

• Click-and-Install WordPress

We save you the trouble of manually downloading, installing, and configuring your site by offering a simple click-and-install option. Not only that, but we have automated the whole process from installation to site launch with the help of our Starter wizard.

• Launch a Beautiful and Functional Site

Once you install WordPress through our automated installer and you log into your site’s admin panel, you will be able to use our unique WordPress Starter. 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 Website Migrator

For clients migrating WordPress sites, we have made it easy to do it yourself. 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.

• Free Email Migrator

You may easily migrate your mailboxes through Site Tools using our completely free Email Migrator. You just need to provide your current mailbox details and the transfer will be initiated. The Email Migrator will promptly and securely copy all of your email messages while keeping your mailbox structure intact.

We offer professional website migration service for as low as £25.00 excl. VAT 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!

• 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 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 your site's 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 Speed Optimizer Plugin

Our free Speed 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 оn our blog.

• 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 software and plugin updates make this 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 Security Optimizer Plugin by SiteGround

We crafted an all-in-one security plugin for WordPress websites, which combines everything you need to secure your website in one place. The Security Optimizer 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 site.

• 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 £19.95 excl. VAT 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.

• Less SPAM messages in your inbox

Our in-house Spam Protect system is developed to intelligently recognize and filter unsolicited from legitimate emails. With a high amount of accuracy, it delivers legitimate messages straight to your inbox, identifies suspicious ones as spam and delivers them to your spam folder, while stopping outright dangerous emails from even reaching your mailbox, keeping it safer and tidier. On average, each day it blocks 12,000,000 malicious emails, and marks another 600,000 as spam.

• On-going improvement according to your reading behavior

Our intelligent system learns from your behavior and improves according to your actions. Whenever you move a message to or from your Spam folder, this is taken into account. Based on your actions our Spam Protection system will add custom rules for each specific, user overriding our standard settings. That way, we seamlessly incorporate your feedback into its functionality to better suit your needs and improve accuracy.

• Easy interface to allow and block senders

You can also directly control our Spam Protection system via an easy interface to block or allow specific senders. You can curate your own Block or Allow List by adding specific email addresses or an entire domain name, and indicate how you want these senders to be treated by the system.

• 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.

• 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.

• Built-in Spam Protection

Our in-house Spam Protect system intelligently recognizes and filters unsolicited emails. It delivers legitimate messages straight to your inbox, identifies suspicious ones as spam and delivers them to your Spam folder, while stopping outright dangerous emails from even reaching your mailbox, keeping it safer and tidier. On average, it blocks 12,000,000 malicious emails per day, and marks another 600,000 as spam daily.

• 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, for example, you can modify the environment to see how your site will behave with a new PHP version 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.

• Ship Sites to Clients

You can easily ship websites built with your own code or using third-party applications to brand new accounts for your clients while keeping collaborator access for future work.

• 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 that they help build and/or maintain. They also have their own Client area and can contact our support team as necessary for 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 into the Site Tools of their website, they won’t see the SiteGround logo or name anywhere.
