| Our verdict | SiteGround's StartUp costs $2.99 a month in year one and $17.99 a month at renewal; it is a well-equipped managed WordPress host on Google Cloud with daily backups kept up to 30 days, staging from GrowBig and well-rated plugins, but all three plans renew at about six times the first-year price ($17.99, $29.99 and $44.99 a month), StartUp hosts one site under CPU and file limits, backup downloads cost extra, and, reportedly, in May 2026 it enabled an AI plugin on customer sites by default. | WordPress.com runs real WordPress for you, with a free plan and plugins on every paid plan since April 2026; Personal is $48 in year one and renews at $60 a year, yearly plans renew a month early with a 14-day refund window, and server tools start at Business ($300, then $336). |
