What the pricing page does not tell you
The renewal step is the number that matters, and a UK browser will not be shown it in dollars.
- The renewal is six times the introductory rate on StartUp, the widest gap in our cost index.
- siteground.com redirects a United Kingdom connection to siteground.co.uk and prices in pounds. To read dollars you have to set the region to United States in the footer and reload.
- StartUp is capped at one website. The unlimited-sites tier is GrowBig, at $29.99 a month on renewal.
How this page is maintained
How we read these prices. Every figure on this page was read from SiteGround’s own pricing page on 4 September 2026. The reading was taken from a United States connection, so the currency is US dollars. Several vendors in this category price by country. That is the most common reason two honest reviews quote different numbers for the same plan.
We keep every reading we have ever taken, with its date, in the history table above. We re-read this page monthly and record what we find whether or not anything moved. No figure here is copied from another review.
