Same numbers we'd want if we were choosing. Prices verified from public pricing pages.
SrvBot vs SiteGround
| Feature | SrvBot | SiteGround |
|---|---|---|
| Renewal price honesty | Flat rate — the price you sign up at is the price you renew at, forever | Intro price rises ~6× at renewal (StartUp: $2.99 → $17.99/mo) — one of the steepest jumps in the industry |
| Migration | Done for you, free — we handle the whole move | Free automated migration plugin + one free manual migration included on GrowBig and above; StartUp gets plugin only |
| Human support on every plan | Real humans over chat and email, every day | Chat and ticket support on all plans; phone not offered |
| Daily backups with restore-drill | Daily backups + a tested restore-drill so you know recovery actually works | Daily automated backups with one-click restore included on all plans; no published restore-drill process |
| Public live status page | status.srvbot.io — real uptime and response times | No public status page — server status and maintenance notices are shown only inside the customer Client Area (login required) |
| Infrastructure & performance | Managed WordPress on reliable infrastructure | Stronger here: SiteGround runs its own proprietary SG Optimizer plugin + SuperCacher technology, consistently rates among the fastest shared hosts in third-party benchmarks |
| CDN included | CDN included on all plans | Cloudflare CDN included on all plans |
| WordPress-focused hosting | WordPress-only managed hosting | WordPress-optimised but also offers general shared hosting and WooCommerce hosting |
| Price transparency | Single published price — no intro/renewal split | Intro rate heavily discounted; renewal rate published in the knowledge base but easy to miss during checkout |

Common questions
Yes — we do the full migration for you, free. Hand us the details and we move the files, database, and DNS without you needing to touch anything.
SiteGround's StartUp plan starts at $2.99/mo but jumps to $17.99/mo at renewal — nearly six times higher. SrvBot's flat $29/mo (or $19/mo founding rate) never changes, so your third-year cost is identical to your first.
SiteGround is genuinely fast and earns its reputation. SrvBot focuses on managed WordPress hosting with flat pricing and hands-on support rather than competing on benchmark numbers. If raw performance benchmarks are your top criterion, SiteGround is worth evaluating alongside us.
