Both SiteGround and WordPress.com can help you launch a new WordPress website quickly and easily. Both services have good reputations, and affordable plans – as well as a free plan from WordPress.com – and offer money-back guarantees that let you try their services risk-free.

So which one should you choose?

In this SiteGround vs WordPress.com comparison, we highlight the best aspects and main drawbacks of each service. We also share the results from our paid performance tests that show whether SiteGround or WordPress.com is the fastest.

By the time you’ve finished reading, you’ll know which of these two choices is the best option for your website.

Let’s begin…

Quick Overview of WordPress.com and SiteGround

Anyone can download the WordPress software from WordPress.org and use it to build a website. However, to get your website online and available to the world, you’ll need to sign up with a web hosting company

WordPress.com and SiteGround are two such companies, and while both will set up your website and host it online, they provide this service in slightly different ways.

For example, SiteGround are a more traditional hosting company. They provide you with online web space where you can publish your WordPress website or any other type of website. WordPress.com, on the other hand, only let you host WordPress websites on their service.

While there are other differences between the two services – that this comparison covers — this important one will rule out WordPress.com for any readers who want to do more than creating a WordPress website, such as publishing HTML files, building a Magento eCommerce store, or hosting an app.

However, if your only goal is to create a WordPress website, both SiteGround and WordPress.com are definitely worth considering.

It’s also worth mentioning that SiteGround provide a few different types of web hosting, including Cloud Hosting; however, for this comparison, we’re looking at their affordable shared hosting service with its three different plans

WordPress.org or WordPress.com?

If you’re a bit confused about the existence of the two WordPress.org and WordPress.com websites and entities, that’s perfectly understandable.

Siteground Wordpress Genesis Themes

To try and clear things up, WordPress.org is the website where the open source WordPress software can be freely downloaded, while WordPress.com is the website where you’ll find a commercial service that hosts the WordPress software for you.

There’s more to it than that, and the full details can be found in our video that explains the differences between WordPress.org and WordPress.com.

However, all you really need to know at this point is that if you sign up with either SiteGround or WordPress.com, you’ll be able to create a website with WordPress that’s available for anyone to view online.

WordPress.com vs SiteGround Pricing

When it comes to pricing, both services have affordable entry-level plans as well as more expensive higher-performance and feature-rich options.

Also, WordPress.com have a free plan that ensures you can create a website even if you don’t have a budget. However, as we’ll see in this article, the free plan definitely has some limitations.

As mentioned, both hosts also have money-back guarantees so you can try without risk. While you get 30 days to change your mind with SiteGround, the WordPress.com guarantee period ranges from 7 to 14 days.

As is often the case with hosting, you’ll get a discount if you decide to pay annually rather than monthly. SiteGround also offer a deep discount to new customers that’s applied to their first invoice. After that, you’ll pay more to renew your plan, so bear that in mind when assessing the long-term affordability of these hosts and their plans.

SiteGround Shared Hosting Plans

SiteGround have three shared hosting plans to choose from:

• StartUp: From $6.99 a month for one website, 10 GB of web space, and ~ 10,000 monthly visits.
• GrowBig: From $8.99 a month for unlimited websites, 20 GB of web space, and ~ 25,000 monthly visits.
• GoGeek: From $14.99 a month for unlimited websites, 40 GB of web space, and ~ 10,000 monthly visits.

As well as a difference in features, the three SiteGround shared hosting plans have access to different levels of server resources. Due to this, the more you pay, the faster your website should load, and the better it will handle more visitors.

Although you’re allowed to host an unlimited number of websites on the top two SiteGround plans, the actual number you can create will be constrained by how much web space you have access to. The monthly visits is the approximate number of visits that each plan is suitable for, rather than a restriction.

Other differences between the SiteGround plans include whether or not you get access to on-demand backups (GrowBig and GoGeek plans only), access to the advanced priority support (GoGeek only), and access to the staging tool (GrowBig and GoGeek plans only). You can view the full list of what you get on each plan on the SiteGround shared hosting page.

The SiteGround hosting fees vary depending on how many months you pay for up front. New customers get a discount rate for their first invoice period, which can be as long as 36 months. After that initial period is up, you’ll pay the regular rate.

SiteGround also have a WordPress hosting service listed on their website, but it’s the same as the shared hosting we’re looking at in this comparison.

WordPress.com Hosting Plans

Here’s a quick overview of the plans available from WordPress.com and who they suggest they’re suitable for:

• Free – best for getting started.
• Personal – best for personal use: $4 a month billed annually or $7 a month billed monthly.
• Premium – best for freelancers: $8 a month billed annually or $14 a month billed monthly.
• Business – best for small businesses: $25 a month billed annually or $33 a month billed monthly.
• eCommerce – best for online stores: $45 a month billed annually or $59 a month billed monthly.

As you can upgrade to a paid plan at any point, the Free plan gives you a great way to try out this service. However, you won’t get the full WordPress.com experience on the Free plan as it’s lacking many of the features of their other plans, such as the ability to upload themes and plugins, earn ad revenue, back up your site, plus more feature we cover in this comparison.

Unlike SiteGround, you can only host one website on each WordPress.com plan. Also unlike SiteGround, the plans all have the same level of performance. Due to this, you should experience the same load times regardless of how much you pay. We find out later on in this comparison whether that level of performance is better than what you get with SiteGround.

The amount of storage space you get with each plan does vary, so be sure to check the full details before making a decision.

Free Domain Registration

As well as hosting, your website will need a domain name. If you choose to pay annually for WordPress.com, you’ll get a free one year domain name registration. Your other options are registering one yourself or using a free WordPress.com subdomain.

SiteGround don’t have such a deal, so you’ll have to register a domain with them or elsewhere. Like WordPress.com, SiteGround will provide you with a temporary one until you register a domain.

Performance

There are many benefits of having a fast-loading website, including improved user experience, higher conversion rates, and better search engine rankings. Therefore, it’s important to take performance into account when choosing a web host.

So to show what sort of loading times you can get from SiteGround and WordPress.com, I created two identical (as possible) WordPress websites, using the popular, free, and lightweight Twenty Twenty theme. One site was hosted with SiteGround and the other with WordPress.com.

I then used the paid Pingdom service to monitor the speed of a page from those sites for seven days to find the average load times of the two hosts.

Here are the results…

WordPress.com Performance Test Results

Siteground Wordpress Installation Path

After seven days of monitoring, Pingdom recorded an average load time of 429 milliseconds or .429 seconds for the site hosted by WordPress.com

Our test site was hosted on the WordPress.com Premium plan; however, regardless of which plan you choose, you should experience the same levels of performance.

SiteGround Performance Test Results

Pingdom recorded an average load time of 943 milliseconds or .943 seconds after seven days of monitoring the site hosted by SiteGround.

WordPress.com vs SiteGround Performance Summary

This test site was hosted on the entry-level StartUp plan. Although we saw in our recent SiteGround review that the more expensive GoGeek is faster, the GoGeek loading times were still not as fast as WordPress.com.

Based on our results, you’ll get a faster WordPress website if you host it with WordPress.com rather than SiteGround.

In fact, your site could be over twice as fast if you host with WordPress.com instead of SiteGround.

That’s not to say that SiteGround aren’t a fast host. They still scored a respectable time in this test. Also, compared to the other general-purpose shared hosts we’ve tested, SiteGround are the fastest. You can find out how they stack up against the competition in our SiteGround vs DreamHost and SiteGround vs Bluehost comparisons.

You can also find more information on the performance of the WordPress.com service, including what happens to the sites they host when multiple visitors access them at the same time, in our in-depth WordPress.com review.

While site speed is very important, it isn’t the only thing to consider when choosing a host. As we’re about to see, there are many other differences between SiteGround and WordPress.com, and among the WordPress.com plans themselves.

Verdict: WordPress.com win here as they are the faster host.

WordPress Themes and Plugins

Perhaps the biggest difference between WordPress.com and SiteGround is that you can install themes and plugins on your website on all of the SiteGround plans. With WordPress.com, though, you can only do this on the top two $25-a-month Business and $45-a-month eCommerce plans.

Why’s this important? Well, themes and plugins are one of the main reasons why WordPress is such a popular and powerful website building tool.

With themes controlling the design, and plugins allowing you to add new features, you can easily turn a basic WordPress installation into almost any type of website imaginable. From professional-looking business homepages and lead generation tools to membership sites and online shops, there isn’t a type of website you can’t build with WordPress and the right themes and plugins. You can even create your own themes and plugins to further personalize your site.

So with that in mind, it is disappointing that you can’t install your own choice of themes and plugins on most of the WordPress.com plans. However, that’s not to say that you don’t get access to any themes or useful features.

For example, the Free and Personal WordPress.com plans let you choose from just over 100 free themes, while the $8-a-month Premium plan and above include access to around 80 premium themes. As some of these premium themes cost as much as $150, this could help make WordPress.com a great value option.

While you can upload any WordPress theme to your website if you sign up with SiteGround, including thousands of free ones, you don’t get access to any premium themes as part of your plan. With popular premium themes selling for around $60, this is a cost you should factor into your project if you plan to use such a theme.

If you can justify the price of the $25-a-month Business and $45-a-month eCommerce plans from WordPress.com, you’ll get access to the theme and plugin support as you would with the lower-priced SiteGround and other similar shared hosts. However, even on those plans, there are some plugins that aren’t allowed. As we saw earlier in the performance test, you’ll also be getting a faster website if you sign up with WordPress.com

Verdict: SiteGround are the winner as they let you install any theme or plugin on your website with any plan, although the fact that some WordPress.com plans include access to premium themes shouldn’t be overlooked.

User Experience

While some of the WordPress.com plans might be lacking the plugin and theme related options you get with SiteGround, one benefit of signing up with WordPress.com is that the service is very easy to use.

As you can only host a WordPress website on your account at WordPress.com, the process for getting started, configuring your site, and managing your account is very straightforward.

With SiteGround, you get a lot more freedom and functionality, such as the ability to create multiple websites (check which plans), host other types of websites, set up sub domains, and create multiple email accounts. Due to this, there are more opportunities to get lost or make mistakes with SiteGround compared to WordPress.com.

That’s not to say that launching and managing a new WordPress website with SiteGround is difficult. For example, when signing up, you can choose to have WordPress automatically installed for you. Also like WordPress.com, your website software is automatically updated if you host your site with SiteGround.

SiteGround also have a WordPress starter tool that guides you through the process of building your site.

Verdict: The WordPress.com approach definitely keeps things simple. If you just want to host a WordPress website and don’t care about having the option to create other types of sites, then signing up with WordPress.com is probably one of the easiest and quickest ways to launch a new WordPress website.

SiteGround isn’t difficult to use by any means. It’s just that the extra freedom and options you get could be overwhelming for some. You’re given more freedom and a bit more responsibility with SiteGround, which some people might not want, making WordPress.com the better option in terms of user experience.

WordPress.com vs SiteGround Summary

With the most important aspects of choosing between these two hosts covered, here’s a quick summary of what we’ve looked at so far, along with an overview of the other main features and differences of SiteGround and WordPress.com:

• Pricing: WordPress.com have a limited free plan, and their entry-level paid plan ($4 a month) is cheaper than the lowest-priced SiteGround plan ($6.99 a month). However, the more feature-rich plans from WordPress.com are more expensive than the top-level SiteGround plan.
• Performance: Although both hosts are fast, our test site hosted with WordPress.com was just over twice as fast as the same site hosted with SiteGround.
• WordPress Themes and Plugins: You can only install themes and plugins on the top two most expensive WordPress.com plans, whereas all of the SiteGround plans let you do this. However, some of the WordPress.com plans include access to premium themes at no extra cost, while the SiteGround plans don’t.
• User Experience: Both hosts make it easy to launch, create, and manage a WordPress website, but WordPress.com provides a more user-friendly experience overall.
• Monetization Options: From displaying ads to installing eCommerce plugins, there aren’t any significant or unexpected monetization restrictions with SiteGround. WordPress.com have stricter rules on monetizing your site, but some of their plans do include some useful monetization features built-in.
• Storage Space: The storage of the SiteGround plansare 10 GB, 20 GB, and 40 GB, while the WordPress.com plans range from 3 GB to 200 GB.
• Backups: Only the $25-a-month WordPress.com Business plan and above include a backup and restore tool, while all of the SiteGround plans have daily automatic backups and a restore feature.
• Support: Email support is available on all of the WordPress.com plans and live chat on the Premium plan and above. All SiteGround plans include telephone, chat, and ticket support.
• Server and Database Access: You get server access via SFTP and database access via phpMyAdmin with SiteGround, but with WordPress.com, this is only available on the top two plans.
• Staging: A staging tool is available on the top two SiteGround shared plans but not at all with WordPress.com.

That covers the main aspects of these two services. Now it’s time for my final thoughts on WordPress.com vs SiteGround.

Final Thoughts

Due to its Free plan, WordPress.com should appeal to anyone with little to no budget. The fact that you can easily switch to the paid plans at any time gives you a lot of flexibility if your situation changes.

However, the SiteGround plans do give you more for your money. Automatic daily backups, a useful staging tool, more storage, and telephone support are just some examples of this. The price of the most feature-rich plan from WordPress.com is $45 a month, while the top-level SiteGround GoGeek plan starts at $14.99 a month (although it is discounted from $39.99). Based on this, you could argue that SiteGround provide greater value for money if you want the best that each host has to offer.

However, there’s one big point to consider, and that’s site speed.

Although SiteGround aren’t slow, WordPress.com are much faster. If you plan to use your website to generate business leads, product sales, or newsletter sign ups, then it could be worth paying extra for WordPress.com (if you also need access to the features that are restricted to their higher-priced plans). This is due to the impact load times have on conversions.

In short, I think it’s fair to say WordPress.com offer faster loading times and a slightly more user friendly experience, while SiteGround give you more freedom, features, and options for your money. However, paying for the top WordPress.com plans does overcome some of these issues, such as feature access and the ability to install themes and plugins.

Let’s get started…

Video Transcript:

aSiteGround is a WordPress-approved web hosting company that prides itself on being a the forefront of technology. They constantly update their servers and software for added reliability, speed, and security. Plus, they offer free daily backups, free setup and site transfer, one-click installs, and some of the most easily accessible technical support in the industry. They are some of the best shared hosting in the business. In this video, we’re going to set up a WordPress site using SiteGround. We’re going to go step-by-step and with no steps skipped. Let’s get started. If you click the link in the description below, you’ll be taken to this page where there’s a special deal for WinningWP visitors. You can also type the URL in the address bar. Just go to winningwp.com/ref/siteground-special-offer. WinningWP will get a small commission if you use this link. But don’t worry, it will not impact how much you pay. From here, we’re going to choose a plan at their special pricing. SiteGround offers three different plans, StartUp, GrowBig and GoGeek. If you’re looking to host one website or you want to just get started with WordPress, the StartUp plan is great for you. But, if you’re looking to host multiple websites or you want to host websites for your clients, GrowBig or GoGeek are the plans that we would recommend. In this video, we’re going to use the StartUp plan. So we’ll click Get Started and we’ll be brought to screen where we enter a domain name. If you already have domain name, you can check that, but we don’t have one so we’re going to register a brand new one. Just keep in mind that domain registration is an additional $ a year on top of our hosting plan. The website we’re going to create today is a books blog and the domain is going to booksboat.com. We’ll click Proceed and SiteGround will double check that this domain is available and, if it is, we’ll have the opportunity to create a new account and spin up our hosting environment. We’ll go ahead and fill this information and then move on to the next screen. Once we fill in the address and the credit card information, we’ll have the opportunity to review our purchase information. So, we are choosing the StartUp plan. We want to do it for a period of months in order to get the special pricing. We also have the ability to purchase extra services. We definitely need the domain registration, but we also have two optional services. The first is domain privacy. By registering a domain, the information that we filled in above will become publicly available, which means that other people can contact us in regards to our domain name. In order to protect it, we would need to purchase Domain Privacy, which takes that information and makes it private. That’s an additional $ a year for the special pricing and $ a year otherwise. We’re going to opt out of this for now. We’re also going to opt out of the SG Site Scanner which is a monitoring service to let us know if our website has been hacked or has malicious code. If you’re concerned about security, and we all should be, this is definitely a service worth exploring. The total, with the domain and hosting for a year comes to $.. We’re going to check that we have read and agreed to the terms of service and we’re going to click Pay Now. Once we do that, our account will be created. And once our account is created, we can proceed to the Customer Area. The first thing that we’ll need to do is set up our new website. We’ve got three options here. We can start a new website, we can transfer a website, or we can choose that we don’t need help now. Since we’re starting from scratch, we are going to click Start a New Website. Then, SiteGround will ask us what platform we want to use. We are going to choose WordPress. We’ll put in our admin email, a user name, and we’ll choose a password. Then we’ll click Confirm and SiteGround will install WordPress for us. We’re going to skip over the enhancements and click Confirm. And then, we’ll click Complete Setup. Once everything is setup, we can proceed, again, to the Customer Area. And now we’ll see our SiteGround account. Under My Accounts, we’ll see a list of our domains, which at this point is just the one. You’ll also notice that our domain is pending verification. Do to a regulation by iCan which controls domain name activations, we now need to verify that we’ve actually purchased this domain. So, in your email, you should see a link that you need to click in order to verify. Once you do that, it’ll take some time for the status to update, but you have verified your domain at this point. Now, it’s time to go to the control panel for our website. You’ll see, from the Manage Account area, we can go to cPanel, which is the Control Panel, or go directly to our admin account for our WordPress site. But there’s one more step we need to take before we start configuring our WordPress installation. So we’ll go to cPanel, and we’re going to scroll down to the security area of cPanel. Here, you’ll see a button called Let’s Encrypt. Let’s Encrypt allows us to freely secure our domain name by making it HTTPS. This will allow us to send personal information, like our username and password over the internet without it being intercepted by hackers. So we only have one domain name on this account, booksboat.com, and we can choose the Let’s Encrypt SSL Type: a standard Let’s Encrypt SSL or a Let’s Encrypt Wildcard SSL. If we intend on using multiple versions of our domain name, like sub-domains, we’ll want to use the Wildcard. And since by default, SiteGround will allow us to configure both booksboat.com and www.booksboat.com, we are going to use the Wildcard SSL. So we’ll select that and we’ll click Install. We’ll click Confirm and then SiteGround will go through the process of verifying our domain and creating the SSL certificate. Again, Let’s Encrypt is completely free. There are paid SSL certificates that offer things like insurance, but a free SSL certificate is perfectly fine for our purposes. Now that the SLL certificate is successfully installed, we’ll click Okay. There’s still something missing with our domain here and that’s the HTTP part of the domain. You can see that our default WordPress domain is not HTTPS yet. Don’t worry though because if click Go To Admin Panel, you’ll see that SiteGround has already taking this into account for us. So, we’ll put in our username and password and then we’ll be logged into WordPress. We’re given a few tool tips right when we first login that we can get rid of and you’ll see that SiteGround already installs a few important plugins for us. The first is Jetpack, which we can configure by connecting to our WordPress.com account. Before we do that, we want to make sure that our settings are correct. So, we’ll go to Settings → General, and we will change the WordPress address and site address to use HTTPS. This is a precaution because as we change our permalink structure and create more content, we want to make sure that the secure version of the URL is being used. While we’re here, we’ll also set our timezone. We want to make sure that our timezone is the one we’re in because that’s going to affect our publishing schedule. I’m located in the Eastern timezone of the United States, so I’m going to choose New York as my timezone, and then we’ll click Save Changes. Once we explicitly set the URL to use the secure version, we’re going to need to login again because the cookies that we were using have been deleted. And now our settings are saved. We’ll go back to the Dashboard and we’ll take care of some of these configurations. First, we’ll set up Jetpack. Jetpack is a free plugin that utilized a lot of powerful services that are offered by WordPress.com. Again, if you already have a WordPress.com account, you’ll be logged in and automatically authorized. Otherwise, you’ll be taken through the process of creating a WordPress.com account first. Jetpack offers from paid plans, but if we scroll to the bottom, we can click Start With Free and then we’ll be taken back to our WordPress site. Jetpack has over modules that we can look at and enable, but for now we’ll just click Activate Recommended Features. Their recommended features include some sharing buttons, the ability for people to subscribe, a contact form, and much more. Once Jetpack is configured, you’ll also notice that there’s something here called SG Optimizer. SiteGround has installed their own plugin that allows you to make some major performance optimizations for WordPress. If we go through each of these, we can configure them so could say that Dynamic Cache can be enabled, AutoFlush Cache will be enabled, and we can Purge our cache. Cache is an important part of performance for a lot of websites because it will make a copy of a certain page and distribute it in a prioritized and optimized fashion. We’re going to go ahead and enable the Dynamic Cache system. We’re also going to go to the HTTPS configuration. By checking Force HTTPS, we’re going to make sure that WordPress is definitely using our SSL certificate to make sure our site is fully secure. We’re going to ignore the PHP Config settings. These should not be changed unless you really know what you’re doing. And with that, let’s get to the fun stuff. Now that we have our site configured with Jetpack enabled and SG Optimizer doing the heavy lifting, we’re going to find a theme for our blog. In order to do that, you can click Appearance → Themes and click Add New Theme. WordPress will then give us a list of completely free themes that we can use for our website. There are lots of features to choose from here, so they’ve also given us some filters. There are the Featured themes, which are hand picked by the folks at WordPress. There the most Popular themes, which are the ones that get installed the most,. There are the Latest themes. And then there are themes that you have favorited using your WordPress.org user name. So, if you have a WordPress.org account, you can favorite themes and have them pulled in here. You can also try the Feature Filter which will allow you to filter by subject, features, and layout. We’re creating a blog here, so I’m gonna choose Subject: Blog and apply the filter. We’re now given a list of themes that have categorized themselves as blog themes. Choosing the right theme can take quite a bit of time, but it’s important because it’s going to be what makes the first impression of your blog for your readers. One of the themes that we’re a fan of here is Lovecraft. This is a beautiful and simple theme that’s perfect for a blog. So we’ve explicitly searched for that blog and it shows up here and we’re going to click Install. We’re also going to Activate the theme and, once it’s activated, we’re going to Customize it. So, we’ll head over to the WordPress Customizer which allows us to make some small changes to the theme in order to make it our own. The customizer for each theme is going to be different depending on what the theme developer has added. You’ll always see the Site Identity, which we do want to change, we’ll call this Books Boat and the tagline will be, “A place to review books.” And then most will have Colors, Logo, Header Image, Widgets, and more, but you see that we have an additional section for options for Lovecraft. The only option for Lovecraft is to show or hide the sidebar on mobile, so we are going to check this to make sure that our sidebar is viewable on mobile device as well. Now we’ll click Publish and our changes will be made. So now, if we go out to our website, you’ll see that we have our new title and our tagline and we’ve got some default content here. The last thing we’ll do before we start adding content is change this cover image from the default. This’ll go a long way in helping us make this website our own. So, we’ll go back to the Customizer, and we’ll click on Header image. You can see that we’ve got the current header here and we can Add a new image. We’ll use the WordPress Uploader. So, we’ve uploaded and image of classic looking books (and we got this image from Unsplash.com which is a royalty free image website). We’ll click Select and Crop and we’ll pick our favorite part of this image, which is going to display the title, of course. We’ll click Crop and, now, our new header image is in place. We’ll click Publish and then we’ll X out of the Customizer. Now, let’s manage our content. We’ll go back to the WordPress Dashboard to Posts, we’ll delete the default post here, and we’ll add our own. Our first entry will be Bram Stoker’s Dracula, so we’ll add some text here about the book. With our content added, we will upload a featured image, which will be the cover of the book, and then we’ll click Publish. We can now click View Post to see that on the front end. That’s it for this video. In it, we learned how to set up a WordPress website using SiteGround with no steps skipped.
