When it comes to affordable entry level hosting for WordPress, very few can offer quality at the nominal price. In the past I have reviewed & shared about Hostgator, Bluehost & almost 8 months back I started using a popular shared hosting company call Siteground.
What I liked about Siteground is their in-house technology & caching system. Their homepage says “Web-hosting crafted with care” which actually is true, as you will be amazed with the features they offer in their shared hosting account. Advanced users can use their Pre-installed GIT & staging feature, where as a WordPress blogger can take advantage of their Supercacher technology to speed up your site by 4X. It’s a non EIG hosting and after using it for months, I could say the support on Siteground is par excellent.
Their pricing is industry standard & you can get started with their unlimited hosting plan Growbig for as low as $7.95/month.
Once you have purchased the hosting, follow this hands on guide to learn installing WordPress blog.

I would recommend you to buy their GrowBig plan (The best plan with reasonable price). This is the same plan which I use for myself.

- Sitergound let you install WordPress using Softaculous. You can click on WordPress to directly start installing WordPress on your domain.
- On the next screen, click on Install to start the process of installing WordPress.
- The next screen is straight forward and you need to select domain where you want to install WordPress. I would recommend you to use non www to install WordPress. (www doesn’t add any value these days + it keeps your domain name short).
- Click on proceed and it would take about one minute for Softaculous to install WordPress on your selected domain.
- Once you see the confirmation screen saying “Congratulations, the software was installed successfully”, you can login to your newly installed WordPress blog Admin dashboard.
