Popular shared and cloud hosting with a large WordPress customer base.

Your resources are not shared. Bare-metal Ryzen 9 7950X3D with dedicated vCPUs, ECC RAM, and NVMe RAID -- not a slice of someone else's cloud.
Over £330/mo of tools are bundled into every plan. CDN, WAF, backups, malware scanning, plugin updates -- no itemised add-on invoices.
Published scaling policy, defined resource allocations, no traffic overage charges. You know exactly what you're paying and what you're getting.
Engineers who understand WordPress, available when UK businesses need them. Not a first-line script-reader in a distant time zone.
SiteGround's entry prices are promotional and apply to shared hosting — your site sits on a server with hundreds of other websites. WP Pro Host runs on dedicated bare metal with isolated resources. They're different products at different points in the market.
No. SiteGround's staging tool is only available on GrowBig and above. WP Pro Host includes a staging environment on every plan including Launch at £25/mo.
SiteGround can suspend your account if you exceed bandwidth or CPU limits on shared plans. WP Pro Host publishes its scaling policy and gives you a defined upgrade path — no surprise suspensions.
SiteGround supports WooCommerce but is not a dedicated WooCommerce host. WP Pro Host offers a WooCommerce-specific hosting product with a 99.9% checkout uptime SLA and infrastructure optimised for peak trading days.
