SiteGround review
Verified greenchecked 1 November 2026What this means
Managed hosting on Google Cloud with 24/7 human support, daily backups and a free CDN on every plan.
SiteGround pairs strong 24/7 support with daily backups and free help moving your site. The catch is the price: the first year is paid upfront, and StartUp then rises from £2.39 to £16.79 a month. Worth it if good support matters more to you than cost.
from £2.39 a month inc VAT, paid upfront for the first year, then £16.79 a month

How green is SiteGround?
SiteGround is in the Green Web Foundation's directory of verified green hosting providers (we checked on 1 November 2026).
What the Foundation's verification means
SiteGround says its data centres run on Google Cloud’s green infrastructure, and that, as it runs no data centres of its own, it relies on its partners’ green policies. That rests on Google matching its electricity use with renewable energy over each year, across Google as a whole. SiteGround publishes no energy figure of its own.
SiteGround's hosting runs on Google Cloud; these are the countries of its data centres.
The data centres we list are in 8 countries, whose grids average 300 g CO2e per kWh, against 218 g in the UK. Lower is cleaner.
The grid in each country
