SiteGround has cut the intro price of its StartUp shared hosting plan for an early Black Friday sale. On the 12-month prepay, StartUp now starts at $1.99 a month ($23.88 paid up front), down from $2.99 a month ($35.88). The renewal price did not change: the plan still renews at $17.99 a month. SiteGround’s web hosting page showed the new price on November 2, 2026, under the banner “Early Black Friday deal – 88% off hosting”. The old discount read “Save 83%”; the new one reads “Save 88%”.
The plan itself reads the same: 1 website, unlimited traffic, 10 GB storage and a 30-day money-back guarantee. The two larger plans moved too. GrowBig fell from $4.99 to $3.99 a month and GoGeek from $7.99 to $5.99 a month, both on a 12-month prepay, with renewals unchanged at $29.99 and $44.99 a month. Because only the intro price fell, the jump at renewal on StartUp grows from 6x to 9x.
Who this affects
Anyone buying a SiteGround shared plan while the sale runs. SiteGround’s page does not give an end date, so treat it as a limited-time price. Existing customers keep their current term and renew at the regular price, as before.
What to do now
- If you were already planning a 12-month StartUp plan, the sale saves $12 on the up-front payment.
- Budget for the renewal: after 12 months the plan bills at $17.99 a month, nine times the sale price. Our Web Hosting Price Index compares intro and renewal prices across 22 plans.
