Although SiteGround and InMotion are each others fiercest competitions in web hosting, these companies are very different from the other in their own
right.

If you want to secure a free domain, InMotion will have that covered for you. With SiteGround, on the other hand, you will have to purchase it separately. There is also a noticeable difference in the money-back guarantee both companies are offering - 30 days for SiteGround, and three times as much if you go with InMotion.

As a key deciding factor, its important to know how far your budget can take you. Lets take a look at SiteGround and Inmotions pricing details.

SiteGrounds StartUp plan goes for only $4.99 per month. Succeeding plans with more offerings will cost a few dollars more at $7.99 and $14.99 respectively. Not at all a bad way to start your website. InMotion will get your website up and live for as low as $5.99 per month. Interestingly, the next plan costs
the same but comes with a few more inclusions. The highest tier goes for only $14.99 and comes with advanced features.

Taking into consideration the promotions both (as do most web hosting providers) are offering, InMotions rates are for their two-year term, after which renewal will cost $7.99 per month, while SiteGrounds will cost you
$9.95 per month.

Theres no significantly high difference in their renewal rates, however, as SiteGround is notorious for its massive discount offerings, youre likely
going to get a huge discount when youre signing up for an account. Its a tie between them for this round. Ease of use

Just getting a free domain wont cut it for the most part, so lets look at how easy both are to use.

SiteGrounds drag-and-drop basic website builder lets you have freedom with your creativity when designing your website. With this, you can customize
your website however you want. InMotion has a WordPress-based builder called BoldGrid, an exclusive InMotion in-house builder thats as easy to use as SiteGrounds basic builder. This also lets you create and design your website using tools easily.

With cPanel being their common ground, its easy to closely differentiate how the two fare in creating a user-friendly atmosphere. InMotion has customized it to create an improved performance, making it easier to use, while SiteGround has added integrated features for more functionality, making it more user-friendly.

As both offer ease of use albeit in different ways, they both own this round, no doubt. It will depend on your preferred platform. Features

WordPress offers superior shared hosting operating power. As a hosting provider recommended by WordPress.org, SiteGrounds plans include WordPress installation, auto-updates, and WordPress support. Installing the WordPress app on an existing website with both SiteGround and InMotion is fairly easy.

All of SiteGrounds and InMotions plans include free SSH and SFTP access, and free email accounts. As previously mentioned, youll get a free domain with InMotion, while to get a domain with your SiteGround plan costs extra.

InMotion is generous in terms of storage, offering from 50 to 200GB of SSD storage, while SiteGrounds plans start at 10GB, while their highest tier will only give you 40GB of SSD storage, slightly lower than InMotions lowest offering. When it comes to bandwidth, InMotions plans all offer unlimited,
but SiteGround is more transparent in that they specify the amount of disk space and an estimate of the number of visitors to your website, which ranges from 10K to 100K visits per month.

With their free domain, larger storage, and unlimited bandwidth that SiteGround fails to deliver, well have to give this round to InMotion. Speed
& uptime

Strong uptime and website speed will keep your visitors from leaving your website, which can be good for your sales. SiteGround is a high-ranking web hosting provider with uptime and speed records of 99.99% and 716ms respectively in the past year. The company also has a history that ranges
from 99.98% to 100% over the last few months.

InMotion is not too far behind at 389ms website loading time and 99.91% uptime. InMotion has been constantly improving its servers over the past few years, which means its only going to improve over the next few years.

Speed is certainly SiteGrounds core strength, which means it takes the win in this round easily. Security

InMotion does not take cyber terrorism lightly. Their DDoS protection comes from their Smartwall Threat Defense System (TDS). For WordPress sites, InMotion provides a free Sucuri Security plugin that detects malware and
other risks.

SiteGround, on the other hand, uses an AI-based anti-bot that blocks brute attempts across all of their servers, keeping your website safe from cyberattacks. This AI analyzes data from their servers, detecting malicious patterns, and applies actions.

Both providers take blocking malicious activities and keeping your website safe serious and have taken extra measures.

InMotion partnered with DDoS attack protection firm Corero for its security offerings and SiteGround developed a proprietary tool. So, its a tie on this round. Support

As your website goes live, you need to be able to receive help anytime you
run into difficulties. InMotions support team is available 24/7 to answer
your queries and provide accurate information. Their support team is
friendly, reliable, and provides a smooth resolution to get you back on

Apart from getting assistance whenever you need it, SiteGround also provides helpful and informative tutorials and guides.

need, so its another round with a tie. Verdict

is to look into their stronger features where your website can definitely benefit from.
