There is a large portion of newbie bloggers who are hunting high and low for SiteGround alternatives that are not only reliable and fast but also affordable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Why people are searching for SiteGround Alternatives?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">After I run a demo site on SiteGround for one year and two months, I have spotted three reasons why people are in a fishing expedition for SiteGround alternatives,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Reason #1. Higher Webhosting Charges<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Recently, SiteGround has hiked its cheapest plan, \u2018StartUp\u2019 from $3.95 to $6.99 a month. This is not the affordable option a newbie bloggers have got where Dreamhost lets them start a blog as low as $2.59 a month. Apart from that, Unlike Dreamhost that does not hike webhosting charges for its \u2018Starter\u2019 plan, SiteGround charges $19.99 a month on renewal for SiteGround\u2019s \u2018StartUp\u2019 plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Reason #2. Limited Resources<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Even if SiteGround offers excellent uptime and loads a webpage within 2 seconds, SiteGround has fix threshold traffic on a monthly basis with each plan. Although SiteGround will provide unmetered traffic but in the event of surpassing of the traffic limit of your plan, performance will suffer. The basic \u2018StartUp\u2019 plan fits when your blog has got ~10000 visits monthly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\">Reason #3. Don\u2019t offer a free domain name<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Unlike ChemiCloud and FastComet that offer free domain name forever, SiteGround charges $15.99 a year for a domain from the first year.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Read also:<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/capitalante.com\/how-to-start-a-wordpress-blog-with-siteground\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Start a WordPress blog with SiteGround<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>15 Points to Watch to Pick the best SiteGround alternatives<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Before jumping into the SiteGround alternatives you should consider the specific needs from your end. Thereafter analyze the webhost since every Webhosting provider declares themselves the best one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">What type of blog do you want to create?<\/span> If you want to create a simple blog then you should choose Bluehost or Dreamhost. But if you want to start an e-commerce store, A2 hosting is the best option you have got.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Should you create a single blog or multiple blogs?<\/span> If you want to create multiple niche blogs then you should opt for a hosting plan that offers you to create multiple sites across different niches by using the same account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">How much traffic your site gets a month?<\/span> To start a blog you should go with shared hosting, but once your site gets 3000 unique visitors a day then you should upgrade your hosting to cloud hosting from shared hosting. You should start a blog with shared hosting since this is a cheaper option that costs $2.59 a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">What cost incurred to run a blog?<\/span> Define what features you will need to run a blog. The cost incurred depends on what features you require to run a blog to a larger extend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Now after defining your needs, you need to examine the following points before buying hosting from Webhosting providers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Reliability and Speed \u2013<\/span> It is a proven fact if your website fails to load within 3 seconds, readers will abandon your site. Pick a WebHost that will give guaranteed uptimes of 99.99% and fast servers to load quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Bandwidth and Storage \u2013<\/span> Check what storage space and bandwidth the hosting provider offers. Bluehost and Dreamhost offer unlimited bandwidth and storage options in their shared hosting plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Upgradation Options \u2013<\/span> Since most of the web hosts offer a whooping discount on first time purchase, you need to check whether they offer the same discounts while up-gradation of your hosting plan. Bluehost and Dreamhost offer a lucrative discount when you upgrade your existing hosting plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Traffic \u2013<\/span> You should consider what the maximum audience it can handle. Suppose you run an event blog that has got 1, 00,000 page views a day. Pick such a web host that can handle that large traffic and doesn\u2019t crash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Free Domain Name \u2013<\/span> Check whether your Webhosting provider offers free domain names. Unlike SiteGround, ChemiCloud and FastComet offer free domain name free forever along with Webhosting package.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Security \u2013<\/span> If you want to create a blog that will store sensitive data such as credit\/debit card details then you should check whether your WebHost offers malware protection features on their servers. You should check whether your webhosting provider offers free SSL Certificates or not to ensure that the data of the site visitors remain secured and encrypted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Prices \u2013<\/span> Since all the Webhosting providers offer a hefty discount for the first time purchase, you need to check what the renewal prices of Webhosting. You can buy hosting from Dreamhost since the hosting provider costs $2.59 a month not only for the first time purchase but also on renewal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Custom e-mail address \u2013<\/span> An email address with \u2018Gmail\u2019 or \u2018Yahoo\u2019 will look unprofessional and negatively impact your marketing strategy. A custom email following your domain name will raise your brand to a larger extend. You should pick a WebHost that offers custom email free of cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Migration of existing website \u2013<\/span> Check, if the Webhosting provider offers free migration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Quality Customer Support \u2013<\/span> Check whether the hosting provider is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on email, chat, or phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Money-back Guarantee \u2013<\/span> Pick a web host that offers at least a 30-day money-back guarantee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/capitalante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/8-Reasons-That-Make-a-Webhost-Good.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7349 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/capitalante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/8-Reasons-That-Make-a-Webhost-Good.png\" alt=\"8 Reasons That Make a Webhost Good\" width=\"800\" height=\"2000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/capitalante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/8-Reasons-That-Make-a-Webhost-Good.png 800w, https:\/\/capitalante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/8-Reasons-That-Make-a-Webhost-Good-120x300.png 120w, https:\/\/capitalante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/8-Reasons-That-Make-a-Webhost-Good-410x1024.png 410w, https:\/\/capitalante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/8-Reasons-That-Make-a-Webhost-Good-768x1920.png 768w, https:\/\/capitalante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/8-Reasons-That-Make-a-Webhost-Good-614x1536.png 614w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Top 7 Affordable SiteGround Alternatives<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">If you are looking for affordable Webhosting providers then here we will offer you the 7 best SiteGround alternatives where you can set up your blog to make money.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Alternative#1.

InterServer<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">InterServer is one of the best reliable web hosts that offer two types of shared hosting plans namely Standard Web Hosting [Linux hosting] and Windows hosting [ASP.NET]. If you want to start a WordPress blog you should opt for &#8216;Standard Web Hosting&#8217;. You can start your WordPress blog as low as $1 a month for the first three months. Interserver charges $5 a month when you have opted month on month payment option or $4 per month when you are paying for three years for Standard Web Hosting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">The biggest deal that <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jdoqocy.com\/click-100299063-11145908\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">InterServer<\/a><\/span> offers is <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">&#8216;Price Lock Guarantee&#8217;<\/span>. It means you need to pay the exact same price which you have paid for the first time in the scenario of a hike of InterServer&#8217;s hosting charges. Suppose you bought a Webhosting at the price of $5 for a month. Now after 3 years InterServer hikes the charges to $7. Still, InterServer will charge you $5 a month on renewal even if the current price is $7.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Let&#8217;s pay close attention to how InterServer is performing on the above-mentioned parameters,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Uptime and Loading Time \u2013<\/span> InterServer delivers an excellent uptime of 99.99% and loads your blog or website within 2 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Unlike Siteground that has limited webspace, with InterServer\u2019s Standard Web Hosting you can host unlimited websites with unlimited storage and bandwidth. Since InterServer loads not more than 50% resources in a server, this will make your site fast and handle any traffic spikes with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">Even though it has two data centers that are located in the US [Secaucus and Los Angels], InterServer offers Cloudflare&#8217;s Content Delivery Network in case your site gets visitors worldwide. Needless to say, the Content Delivery Network enables browsers to connect to the server that is the nearest to them to load the site fast.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Bandwidth and Storage \u2013<\/span> InterServer&#8217;s &#8216;Standard Web Hosting&#8217; offers unlimited storage and bandwidth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Upgradation Option \u2013<\/span> If you want to upgrade your plan from &#8216;Standard Web Hosting&#8217; to &#8216;VPS&#8217; or &#8216;Dedicated&#8217; hosting then you can upgrade your existing plan in the few clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Free Domain Name \u2013<\/span> No, InterServer doesn&#8217;t offer a free domain name.
