Key Features

Site transfer
Let us do all the heavy lifting for you. Start new WordPress sites with a click, or transfer existing WordPress sites automatically - at no cost, avoiding downtime and data loss.
AI site management
Our built-in AI agent connects directly to your site and helps you manage it through a simple chat. Connect multiple sites and manage them all from one conversation, even in bulk.
Web application firewall
Our Web Application Firewall adapts to new threats automatically, blocking attacks with rules that evolve as fast as hackers do. No manual updates needed.
Bot protection
Our intelligent system identifies and blocks malicious bots in real time, proactively preventing DDoS attacks and keeping your site safe without slowing it down.
Human monitoring
On top of automatic monitoring, real human experts watch over our infrastructure around the clock, catching and resolving issues before they affect your site.
Daily backups
Keep your website work and data safe. Get full website backups automatically, every single day, for free: stored in multiple data centers geographically for extra redundancy. If something goes wrong, you can restore your website in minutes.
HTTPS
We were one of the first hosting platforms to integrate Let's Encrypt SSL. At SiteGround every site gets HTTPS out of the box — no setup, no extra cost.
