When I decided to relaunch by family travel blog Miro from Cairo on WordPress.org, not only did I have to register my domain, but I also had to find a hosting provider. There are thousands of web hosts out there and many of them meet the minimum requirements of WordPress. But I still had to do my homework by searching online and asking friends with some experience in this field. I finally settled on SiteGround seeing that it is strongly recommended by WordPress. Moreover, it donates a portion of my fees to support the WordPress community which I consider important for a hosting provider.
The Sign-up Process Step by Step
Step 1: Choose a Hosting Plan
SiteGround has three plans. You can sign for any of them with a great discount through this link right here.
– The StartUp plan is perfect for you if, like me, you are starting out with one website.
– The GrowBig plan is a great value for money offer. It includes the option for multiple websites and the SuperCacher that greatly improves website speed.
– The GoGeek plan is perfect for you if have larger websites and need advanced functionality such as e-commerce, or more geeky development needs like more server resources.
Step 2: Choose a Domain Name
You can choose to buy a new domain, or sign up with an existing domain. SiteGround offers a wide range of domain extensions (.net, .org, etc.) at awesome prices.
Step 3: Review and Complete the Order
Unlike many other hosting providers, the advertised discount applies to any of the initial periods chosen during the sign up process. Yes – you can get the discount for the one year period! This is great because most hosting providers will apply the discount only to the longest period which is usually three years.
