When it comes to the construction of the WordPress station, the first thing that the webmaster friends think of is the two major American host companies, BlueHost and SiteGround. So what's the difference between the two well-known host companies officially recommended by WordPress?

II. Price comparison between Bluehost and SiteGround mainframe

BlueHost and SiteGroundStation both provide a variety of host products, such as virtual hosts and stand-alone servers, among which virtual host products are mostly used.

BlueHost virtual host includes Windows and Linux operating systems, and provides three host configurations for users to choose from, namely, Plan A, Plan B and Plan C, with four computer rooms in the United States, Hong Kong, Europe and India to choose from. The purchase price of BlueHost's best-selling solution Plan B is 35 yuan / month through the discount link, and the renewal price is 49 yuan / month after the program expires.

SiteGround's lowest-cost StartUp scheme starts at $3.95 / month (RMB: 27 / month) and is renewed at $11.95 / month (RMB: 84 / month) after maturity.

Overall, the purchase price is about the same, but the renewal price of SiteGround is twice as high as that of BlueHost.

III. Speed comparison between Bluehost and SiteGround

The visit speed is the basis of the normal operation of any website, because the visit speed of the website directly affects the user's experience. What is the speed and stability of Bluehost and SiteGround access?

So far, BlueHost has 23 data centers in the United States, Hong Kong, India and Europe. BlueHost's American mainframe is located in the top data center of Krypt and is one of the closest American computer rooms to China. In addition, the BlueHost host supports CDN global acceleration technology, which is used to shorten the distance between the website and users to ensure that the content can provide services for requests in the most efficient way, which is also the most effective way to provide access speed.

SiteGround has five data centers, users can choose the nearest data center to get the best load time, and SiteGround ensures that each customer's data center is the closest to their data center. SiteGround uses a powerful combination of NGINX engine, SSD disk, PHP version 7.3, one-click Cloudflare CDN, and HTTP / 2 server.
