SiteGround prices and what to compare

Quick answer: SiteGround's hosting page on 29 October 2026 listed StartUp, GrowBig and GoGeek. Two reads showed different currencies, so this page does not print a SiteGround price. Write down the renewal in the currency your visit shows. The renewal was higher than the intro in both reads.

What this page is

WebJi wrote this page. WebJi is not SiteGround, and this is not their support desk. The names are used only to identify the products. Their phone numbers, chat lines and support email addresses are not published here.

SiteGround sells hosting and chooses a currency from the visitor's region. An alternatives article that prints one country's intro price as if it were India's price will be wrong for the next reader.

What the hosting page showed

SiteGround web hosting, read twice on 29 October 2026:

  • Plan names: StartUp, GrowBig, GoGeek.
  • Data centres named on the page: North America, Europe, Asia, Australia.
  • In both reads the renewal monthly price was higher than the introductory monthly price.
  • One read was in euros and the other in pounds.

No rupee amount is printed here. If your browser shows dollars or rupees, that screen is the one to screenshot. The page did not name cPanel in the text we kept. Check the panel inside the account before using a cPanel-only guide.

What changes if you leave

You need a copy of the files and the database in whatever format that panel exports. Test the copy. Then change DNS at the registrar, which may or may not be SiteGround. Mail moves only if you copy it over IMAP and then change MX.

The domain registration can stay. A registrar transfer needs an authorization code and, for .com, falls under ICANN's 60-day windows. That is separate from moving the website.

How to judge an alternative

From your SiteGround screen, record currency, intro price, term, renewal price, the data centre you can actually select, and whether backups are included.

Set WebJi's L-Basic at ₹300/month before 18% GST beside the SiteGround renewal only after you have converted their renewal into the same tax-inclusive monthly cost. If their renewal converts to less than ₹300 plus GST, theirs is lower. The intro price is the wrong column.

Rates printed on this website

These figures are WebJi's, printed on webji.in. They are not a price for any other company.

Shared hosting lists L-Basic at ₹300/month (₹3,000 for one year), L-Unlimited at ₹400/month (₹4,000) and L-Developer at ₹700/month (₹7,000), before 18% GST. That page also says renewal rates are printed before you pay. The shape of the price is a monthly rate and a one-year total, not a 36-month or 48-month introductory rate.

Domain registration lists indicative ranges, before 18% GST: .com registration ₹900–1,200/year and renewal ₹1,000–1,400/year; .in registration ₹500–800/year and renewal ₹700–1,000/year. A range is not a cart total. The amount at checkout is the price.

Where another company's renewal figure is lower than ₹300/month, that is what their page showed. Compare that renewal figure with L-Basic, then add tax on both sides. A lower first-term advertisement is a different number from the renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What plans does SiteGround list?

StartUp, GrowBig and GoGeek were on the web hosting page on 29 October 2026. Prices are not repeated here because the currency changed between two reads of that same page.

Which data centres does the page name?

North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The location you are offered at order time is the one that affects visitors in India. The list alone does not tell you which site you will be placed on.

Is the renewal higher than the intro?

Yes, in both reads on 29 October 2026. The size of the gap depended on the currency of that read. Record the pair of numbers from your own screen.

Does SiteGround use cPanel?

The hosting page text we kept did not say cPanel. Confirm inside the account. Use the export that panel provides, and do not start from a cPanel click-path unless you can see cPanel.

How do I compare this with ₹300/month?

Convert SiteGround's renewal into rupees at the rate you will actually pay, add tax, and compare with ₹300 plus 18% GST. Compare renewals. The introductory monthly figure is for the first term only.

Will WebJi contact SiteGround for me?

No. This page is not a request path to SiteGround, and their contact details are not listed. Exports and DNS are done in your own accounts.
