Premium shared hosting, or a server that is yours.
SiteGround is well-built shared hosting, but plans are bounded by CPU-second limits and visit caps, and the renewal price jumps sharply after the first term. RemarkableCloud is a dedicated fully managed VPS with guaranteed resources, a 500% SLA, and one flat price that does not jump. Choose SiteGround if managed shared hosting fits your site. Choose RemarkableCloud if you have outgrown shared limits.
SiteGround is a well-regarded managed shared hosting provider.
SiteGround is one of the better-known names in shared and managed WordPress hosting, with a strong reputation built on reliable performance, a polished custom control panel in Site Tools, good built-in caching, and genuinely responsive support. For a small site, a blog, or a brochure site, SiteGround is well-built shared hosting and a credible choice that many people are happy with.
The differences with RemarkableCloud are the type of product and how the price behaves. SiteGround's plans are shared hosting: your site runs alongside many others, and each plan is bounded by CPU-second limits and a monthly visit allowance, so a busy site can be throttled or pushed to upgrade. The headline price is also an introductory rate that renews substantially higher after the first term. SiteGround is good shared hosting. The question on this page is what changes when a growing site moves to a dedicated fully managed server with guaranteed resources, a 500% SLA, and one flat price that does not jump.
Premium shared hosting, or a server that is yours.
SiteGround is well-built managed shared hosting, but it is still shared hosting. RemarkableCloud is a dedicated fully managed server. Two differences matter most.
SiteGround plans are bounded by limits.
SiteGround's shared plans are capped by CPU-second limits and a monthly visit allowance. A busy site gets throttled or pushed to upgrade, and resources are shared with many other accounts.
RemarkableCloud gives you guaranteed resources.
A Cloud Cube is a dedicated server: your allocated CPU and RAM are guaranteed, never oversold, with no CPU-second cap and no visit limit. Your performance does not depend on anyone else's traffic.
SiteGround's price jumps at renewal.
The headline SiteGround price is an introductory rate. After the first term it renews substantially higher, so the real long-term cost is well above what the signup page shows.
RemarkableCloud is one flat price, 500% SLA.
The price you see is the price you keep, this term and next. 1 hour down equals 5 hours credited, automatically, with no claim to file. Daily snapshots and the mail gateway are included.
What you actually get for the same money.
SiteGround's plans look inexpensive on the signup page, but the headline is an introductory rate that renews substantially higher, and the plan is still shared hosting bounded by CPU-second limits and a monthly visit cap. RemarkableCloud's Shared CPU 8 GB Cloud Cube is $36 per month with annual billing, a dedicated fully managed server with guaranteed resources, the control panel, daily snapshots, free S3 backup storage, the mail gateway, and a 500% SLA all included. One flat all-in price that does not jump.
Shared resources · CPU-second limits · monthly visit cap
Well-built managed shared hosting. Resources are shared and capped, the visit allowance is metered, and the price renews higher after the intro term.

SiteGround runs well-built managed shared hosting on Google Cloud infrastructure, with good built-in caching and a polished platform.

SiteGround infrastructure
Well-built managed shared hosting
SiteGround runs on Google Cloud infrastructure with a polished platform, good built-in caching, and responsive support. For a small site it is genuinely capable shared hosting.
CPU-second limits cap a busy site
Each shared plan is bounded by CPU-second limits. A traffic spike or a heavy plugin can exhaust the allowance, and the site is throttled until usage drops or you upgrade.
Monthly visit allowance per plan
Every SiteGround plan carries a monthly visit cap. As traffic grows the cap becomes the ceiling, and the answer is to move up a tier rather than simply use the server you have.
Shared resources, not dedicated
Your site runs alongside many other accounts on the same machine. SiteGround manages this well, but the resources are pooled, and you do not get a server that is genuinely yours.
RemarkableCloud infrastructure
Current-generation enterprise CPUs at 3 GHz+
Every Cloud Cube runs on modern Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server-grade processors at 3 GHz or higher. Consistent clock speeds, the same caliber of hardware used in demanding data center workloads, with no mixed-generation fleet.
100% NVMe on every plan, no premium tier
NVMe storage is included on every Cloud Cube, from the $8/month Basic 2 GB plan to the 128 GB Dedicated CPU tier. NVMe delivers 5 to 7× faster read and write speeds than standard SSD, benefiting WordPress database reads and any disk-heavy workload immediately.
50 Gbps DDoS-protected network, all plans
Every Cloud Cube plan runs on a 50 Gbps network with built-in DDoS scrubbing at the infrastructure level. Attack mitigation is on by default. No add-on, no premium tier, no separate firewall service to configure.
Non-oversold, allocation guaranteed
Cloud Cubes are never oversold. Your allocated CPU and RAM are consistently yours, never shared or throttled by neighboring tenant activity. No CPU-second cap, no visit limit, no noisy-neighbor risk on any plan.

Three steps to leave SiteGround.
RemarkableCloud handles the full migration from any SiteGround account at no cost. Most migrations complete in 2 to 24 hours with no downtime planned. You stay on SiteGround until we confirm the new server is verified and ready.
Order your Cloud Cube
Pick a Cloud Cube plan and complete the order. We provision the new server and send migration credentials within minutes. Your SiteGround account stays running and serving traffic. No reconfiguration on the SiteGround side.
We migrate your full stack
Our team copies files, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificates from your SiteGround account to the new Cloud Cube. We test everything on a staging URL before cutover. You review and approve. No surprises, no rushed migrations.
Coordinated cutover, then go live
When you approve, we point your domain DNS to the Cloud Cube during a coordinated window. Final database sync, DNS propagation, post-migration verification, then you cancel the SiteGround account. You are fully live on RemarkableCloud.
Four reasons teams move from SiteGround to RemarkableCloud.
Teams that have outgrown a SiteGround plan move to RemarkableCloud for four consistent reasons: they want a dedicated server with guaranteed resources, they want no CPU-second cap and no visit limit, they want a price that does not jump at renewal, and they want a real 500% SLA with backups and mail included.
A dedicated server, not a shared one.
On a SiteGround shared plan your site runs alongside many other accounts on the same machine, with pooled resources. A Cloud Cube is a dedicated server: your allocated CPU and RAM are guaranteed, never oversold, and your performance does not depend on anyone else's traffic.
No CPU-second cap, no visit limit.
SiteGround's shared plans are bounded by CPU-second limits and a monthly visit allowance, so a busy site gets throttled or pushed to upgrade. On RemarkableCloud there is no CPU-second cap and no visit limit. You use the dedicated resources you are paying for, and a traffic spike is a good day, not a billing event.
A price that does not jump.
SiteGround's headline price is an introductory rate that renews substantially higher after the first term, so the real cost is not the number on the signup page. RemarkableCloud is one flat all-in price. What you pay this term is what you pay next term, with no renewal surprise to budget around.
A real 500% SLA, backups and mail included.
SiteGround backs its plans with a standard uptime guarantee. RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA credits 5 hours for every hour of downtime, automatically, from the first minute, with no claim. Daily snapshots with free offsite S3 storage and the MailChannels SMTP relay with Rspamd antispam are included on every Cloud Cube.
When SiteGround is the right choice. When RemarkableCloud is.
SiteGround is the wrong answer for some buyers and the right answer for others. Same for RemarkableCloud. The honest version of this page is which one matches the shape of your team and your workload. Here is the test.
Choose SiteGround when
- You are launching a first website, a blog, or a brochure site and want a simple start.
- You want polished, refined managed shared hosting with easy onboarding.
- Your traffic is modest and a CPU-second limit and visit cap are not a constraint yet.
- You want a well-known shared host with a strong reputation and good built-in caching.
- You prefer not to manage a server at all, even at the level a managed VPS requires.
- The introductory price fits your budget and a renewal increase is acceptable later.
Choose RemarkableCloud when
- Your site has outgrown shared hosting and needs a dedicated server with guaranteed resources.
- You want no CPU-second cap and no monthly visit limit holding the site back.
- You want one flat all-in price that does not jump after the first term.
- You want a 500% SLA with automatic credits, not a standard guarantee.
- You want daily backups, free offsite S3 storage, and an enterprise mail gateway included.
- You want a team that fully manages the server for you, around the clock.
RemarkableCloud vs SiteGround, your questions answered.
Is SiteGround the same as a managed VPS?
No. SiteGround is managed shared hosting: your site runs alongside many other accounts on the same machine, with pooled resources, and each plan is bounded by CPU-second limits and a monthly visit allowance. RemarkableCloud is a dedicated fully managed VPS: a server with guaranteed CPU and RAM that is genuinely yours, no CPU-second cap, no visit limit, and full root access. SiteGround manages a shared environment well. RemarkableCloud manages a dedicated server for you.
Why move from SiteGround if my site runs fine today?
If your site is small and traffic is modest, SiteGround may be perfectly adequate, and there is no reason to move. The reasons teams switch appear as a site grows: CPU-second limits start to throttle busy periods, the monthly visit cap becomes a ceiling, and the introductory price renews substantially higher. RemarkableCloud is built for that moment, a dedicated fully managed server with guaranteed resources, no caps, a 500% SLA, and one flat price that does not jump.
What are CPU-second limits and visit caps?
On shared hosting, a CPU-second limit caps how much processor time your account can use, and a visit cap limits how many monthly visits a plan allows. They keep one account from affecting others on a shared machine, which is reasonable, but as your site grows they become the constraint: a traffic spike or a heavy plugin can exhaust the allowance and the site is throttled until you upgrade. A RemarkableCloud Cloud Cube has dedicated resources with no CPU-second cap and no visit limit, so you use the server you are paying for.
Can I migrate from SiteGround to RemarkableCloud for free?
Yes. RemarkableCloud includes free migration from SiteGround on every Cloud Cube plan, with no engineering work required on your side. Our team copies your files, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificates from your SiteGround account to your new Cloud Cube, tests everything on a staging URL, then coordinates a cutover window with you. Most migrations complete in 2 to 24 hours with no planned downtime, and you stay on SiteGround until we confirm the new server is verified.
Is RemarkableCloud more expensive than SiteGround?
At signup, a SiteGround shared plan looks cheaper, but that headline is an introductory rate that renews substantially higher after the first term, so the real comparison is against the renewal price. RemarkableCloud is a different product: a dedicated fully managed VPS starting at $8 per month with annual billing, with guaranteed resources, no CPU-second cap, no visit limit, a 500% SLA, daily backups, and a mail gateway, all at one flat price that does not jump. For a site that has outgrown shared hosting, it is the better value.
