SiteGround
UK SOFTWARE PROFILE
SiteGround
SiteGround provides managed WordPress hosting with migrations, caching and recovery tools. GrowBig adds staging and on-demand backups; GoGeek adds Git and client-oriented controls. AI Studio's WordPress agent also works on other hosts, so its token allowance should be checked separately from hosting capacity.
