what is the best hosting plan ?
depends on your situation and where you are on your online journey,
If you are a novice and you want to create your blog then I invite you to take a StartUP plan, if instead you have a few years of experience and are growing your site slowly and you have more than 10’000 monthly visits then the GrowBig plan is the one. right for you,
instead if you are an online expert who receives more than 25,000 visits per month then GoGeek is the plan that makes it the plan for you
my opinion on Siteground

I was extremely satisfied and that is why I highly recommend Siteground
