how's it going guys welcome back and a quick comparison video between bluehost and siteground
so that you can hopefully find out which one could be the best choice for you depending on
your situation and your needs and your budget and whatnot so before begin if you guys are
interested or you'd like to just get straight into the links to pricing discounts you'll find that in
the description down below i managed to get you guys some pretty good discounts so be sure to
check those okay so very simply bluehost offers shared hosting virtual private server hosting
which is also vps aka vps if you're not familiar with the term dedicated hosting wordpress hosting
and e-commerce hosting options siteground offers on the other hand it offers shared hosting cloud
hosting dedicated hosting wordpress hosting and e-commerce hosting options they also offer
a reseller hosting plan for businesses now for hosting features you do get this is the cpanel by
the way for uh bluehost unfortunately i no longer have a subscription with uh siteground so i don't
really have access to uh how their cpanel looks like actually i could just go ground c panel and
let's just take a look at that go to images and there we go that's exactly what it looks like
if you guys were wondering actually i'm just open the picture you guys get the idea actually so this
is what it looks like and um unfortunately yeah i would have loved to just show you guys around
uh myself but i don't really have access to it but i do have access to the very
a simple and easy to read and easy to use also cpanel of bluehost now with regards to hosting
features both siteground and bluehost offer staging areas but only bluehost offers free
staging even in its most basic plan bluehost also offers a free domain for a year while siteground
unfortunately does not though siteground does offer automatic updates for wordpress software
and automatic daily backups of your website higher tiered hosting plans also offer website staging
though now with regards to the website builder bluehost hosting plans come with access to their
proprietary website builder that integrates with wordpress this kind of drag and drop builder is
also a great option for beginners making it a very easy process creating your website and with
siteground customers can use the popular weebly site builder for free which is an easy to use
friendly but beginner friendly excuse me builder that excels particularly in e-commerce
now with regards to speed bluehost is adequately fast and reliable with a 99.99 uptime but it
lacks the overall speed that siteground offers siteground takes the lead in this arena the web
host has an advanced built-in caching system that helps you make your websites load faster
it's also able to handle more web traffic steadily and with regards to security just like any other
web hosting plan that's worth its salt bluehost users get free ssl certificates spam protection
and easy cloud flare integration you can purchase additional security features at a discounted price
such as sitelock's web application firewall otherwise known as waf now with siteground
in addition to what bluehost offers siteground users also get waf a real-time monitoring system
ai anti-bot system and free daily backups between the two web hosts siteground offers more than just
the basics as you can tell but of course it comes at a slightly more expensive pricing plan
now bluehost offers both 24 7 live chat support and phone support which is great getting in
touch with a customer service representative is nearly instantaneous but the general consensus is
that you may not resolve your issue as quickly or get as thorough of an answer as you would
from a siteground customer service representative there is also a knowledge base that covers popular
topics like wordpress domains emails control panel and account settings whereas with siteground there
is 24 7 live chat and phone support if the issue is best addressed on the phone
siteground customer service representatives are very knowledgeable and quick to answer questions
and troubleshoot problems for self-help customers have access they do have access to an extensive
online knowledge base and community forums now with regards to website migration with bluehost
users will need to manually migrate websites a premium migration service can be purchased
to move up to five websites for a hundred and fifty dollars whereas with siteground
you will be able to use the free siteground migrator plugin to make website migration
easier higher tiered plans also offer professional website migration services with regards to ease
of use as you can tell here bluehost is known for being beginner friendly with an intuitive
dashboard that makes setup simple users can still choose to access the control panel if they prefer
and siteground is also great for beginners it has a dashboard with tips and steps for website setup
navigation and management overall both web hosting services are great web hosting services
you know when you stack up all the features and categories of each web host siteground
is an attractive option particularly when it comes to speed security and customer support
there are also more features available and overall siteground is just a great option um but if your
business doesn't sell products or services online or anticipate a lot of web traffic specifically
because i mean siteground is made for heavy traffic though if you're more of a beginner
if you're just starting out you may be better off choosing bluehost although their speed and
security may not be as robust those categories do not matter as much if your website will be purely
informational or if you're just testing out the waters another reason you may choose bluehost is
if your business has very high website storage requirements bluehost offers unlimited storage
on most of their plans while siteground caps out at 40 gigabytes so that'll be it for this video i
just wanted to bring you guys a little comparison video so that you can figure out which one could
be the best choice for you for me specifically um i would just go with bluehost personally because
of the unlimited plan and of course the ease of use and the cpanel the very easy to use cpanel and
easily navigateable kind of cpanel here i really like how bluehost looks compared to siteground but
that's just my personal opinion i think bluehost has a much more modern look and sleek look and
feel to it and that's just my personal choice but it really is up to you again feel free to use the
links to pricing discounts in the description down below to your advantage so you can get
a further discount with both sideground and bluehost if you're interested uh besides that
