SiteGround's Black Friday sale starts early and ends late. Last year its Early Black Friday deal, 88% off with StartUp from $1.99 a month, was on its homepage by November 9, nearly three weeks before Black Friday, and it was still running as a Cyber Monday sale on December 1. StartUp has been $1.99 on each of the last four sales, against $3.99/mo today. No code is needed: the sale price shows on the plan cards.
I'm Mangesh, and I have run the same WordPress test site on all three SiteGround plans. SiteGround's strength is its tools: staging, daily backups, free site migration and its own Site Tools dashboard. Below are the sale dates and prices from SiteGround's own pages each year, what each plan renews at, and how the plans did under load.

Black Friday or Cyber Monday: When to Buy SiteGround
SiteGround runs one long sale under several names. In 2025 its homepage showed an "Early Black Friday Deal" by November 9, a Black Friday sale, then a "Cyber Monday Sale" with a countdown on December 1. In 2023 a "Cyber Monday Extended" sale was still live after Cyber Monday, and in 2022 the Cyber Monday sale had a countdown on November 28. The price stayed the same through each window: StartUp from $1.99.
- Buy in the early deal if you are ready. The Early Black Friday price has been the same $1.99 as Black Friday itself, so buying in early November costs nothing extra and your site is live sooner.
- Cyber Monday is not cheaper. Every sale on record kept StartUp at $1.99 from the early deal to Cyber Monday.
- Do not wait into mid-December. The extended sale ran a few days past Cyber Monday; after that the normal prices return.
SiteGround Black Friday Prices, Plan by Plan
SiteGround sells three shared hosting plans on Google Cloud, and lists one term for them: 12 months, paid upfront. Here is what each costs today, the upfront payment and the renewal rate.
| Plan | Per month | Paid upfront | Renews at | A year at renewal | Last sale on record |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| StartUp tested | $3.99/mo | $47.88 | $17.99/mo | $215.88 | $1.99 |
| GrowBig tested | $6.69/mo | $80.28 | $29.99/mo | $359.88 | $3.99 |
| GoGeek tested | $10.69/mo | $128.28 | $44.99/mo | $539.88 | $5.99 |
US dollars before tax. "Last sale on record" is the Cyber Monday price on SiteGround's web hosting page at the end of the 2025 sale. StartUp hosts one website on 10 GB, GrowBig and GoGeek unlimited websites on 50 GB and 100 GB. Every plan lists free SSL, CDN, daily backups, email and site migrations, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What SiteGround Offered on Past Black Fridays
We went back to SiteGround's own homepage and web hosting page as the Wayback Machine saved them around Black Friday each year, and to the same pages a few weeks before and after. Here is what they showed for the three shared plans.
| Year | What SiteGround's page said | StartUp / GrowBig / GoGeek | Lower than before the sale? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | "Cyber" sale, up to 80% off | $2.99 / $4.99 / $7.99 | Yes: $3.99 / $6.69 / $10.69 in early October |
| 2022 | "Cyber Monday Sale", up to 86% off, with a countdown | $1.99 / $3.99 / $5.99 | Yes: $2.99 / $4.99 / $7.99 in early October |
| 2023 | "Cyber Monday Extended", 85% off | $1.99 / $3.99 / $5.99 | Yes: $2.99 / $4.99 / $7.99 in early October |
| 2024 | "Black Friday Early Access", 88% off | From $1.99 (StartUp) | Yes: StartUp $2.99 in early October |
| 2025 | "Cyber Monday Sale", 88% off, then "Cyber Monday Extended" | $1.99 / $3.99 / $5.99 | Yes: the homepage was back to StartUp from $2.99 on December 4 |
Prices on the 12-month term, as shown on the page, not a checkout. The 2024 copy of the web hosting page could not be served by the archive, so 2024 has the homepage's StartUp price only, and the archive has no early-October copy of either page from last year. SiteGround's "% off" labels are measured against its renewal rate, which was $14.99 / $24.99 / $39.99 in 2021 and 2022 and $17.99 / $29.99 / $44.99 since 2023.
For a buyer, that is good news: SiteGround's sale is reliable. It has landed on the same three prices in 2022, 2023 and 2025, from the early deal through Cyber Monday. The price outside the sale has gone up: StartUp was $2.99 every October from 2022 to 2024 and is $3.99/mo today, so a repeat of $1.99 would save more against today's price than it did in past years.
How SiteGround Held Up in Our Tests
We ran the same WordPress site on all three SiteGround plans and on the shared plans buyers usually compare it with. We measured response time (TTFB) from 10 locations at the origin server, with no CDN in front, a load ramp of clients requesting pages at once, and uptime over 54 days. Full method: How We Test.
| Host | TTFB, New York | 10 locations | 100 at once | Failed | Uptime |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SiteGround StartUp | 312ms | 285ms | 900ms | 5% | 99.97% 23 minutes down |
| SiteGround GrowBig | 296ms | 271ms | 780ms | 4% | 99.97% 23 minutes down |
| SiteGround GoGeek | 281ms | 258ms | 640ms | 4% | 99.979% 16 minutes down |
| ChemiCloud Starter | 84ms | 187ms | 240ms | 0% | 99.97% 23 minutes down |
| Hostinger Premium | 276ms | 252ms | 520ms | 0.8% | 99.95% 39 minutes down |
| ScalaHosting shared Advanced | 59ms | 132ms | 98ms | 0% | 99.99% 8 minutes down |
Lower is better for response times. "10 locations" is the average TTFB across our 10 test locations; "100 at once" is the response time with 100 visitors at the same moment. SiteGround's load test ramped from 0 to 100 clients, so 100 at once was its peak; it failed 165 of 3,300 requests on StartUp and 132 on GrowBig and GoGeek. The other hosts ramped to 250 clients, 8,250 requests each: Hostinger Premium failed 66, ChemiCloud and ScalaHosting none.
SiteGround's uptime matched the others, and GoGeek was the quickest of its three plans. Under load the shared plans were slower than ChemiCloud and ScalaHosting: StartUp took 900ms with 100 visitors at once against 240ms on ChemiCloud Starter. For a small site with steady traffic that is fine; for a store that expects a rush, the faster options below are worth a look.
The Real Bill: What SiteGround Costs Year by Year
SiteGround's sale price covers the first 12 months. At $1.99, StartUp's first year costs $23.88; the second year renews at $215.88 ($17.99/mo). Buying in the sale saves $24.00 against today's price, and the renewal is the same either way, so the sale is the right moment to buy and the renewal date is the one to plan for.

Want More Speed for Your Black Friday Money?
If speed under load matters more to you than SiteGround's tools, two other Black Friday deals gave more in my tests.
Managed cloud servers that stay fast in a rush
- Its own server for your sites, with fast caching built in
- Last Black Friday: 50% off, plus free migrations
- Hourly billing and a free 3-day trial
The cheapest fast shared plan we tested
- Starter $1.95 a month on 36 months, the price of its last three Black Fridays
- 240ms with 100 visitors at once, no failed requests
- 45-day money-back guarantee
What SiteGround Costs Over Four Years, Compared
A low first-year price hides the renewal, and SiteGround's first term is only 12 months, so its renewal starts sooner than most. Here is four years on each plan at today's prices: the first term at the intro price, then the renewal rate for the rest.
| Host and plan | First term | Four-year total | 100 visitors at once |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiteGround StartUp | $3.99/mo, 12 months | $695.52 | 900ms |
| SiteGround GrowBig | $6.69/mo, 12 months | $1,159.92 | 780ms |
| SiteGround GoGeek | $10.69/mo, 12 months | $1,747.92 | 640ms |
| ChemiCloud Starter | $2.95/mo, 36 months | $249.60 | 240ms |
| Hostinger Premium | $2.99/mo, 48 months | $143.52 | 520ms |
| ScalaHosting shared Advanced | $9.95/mo, 36 months | $597.60 | 98ms |
Today's prices before tax, renewing on the same term. The test column is the response with 100 visitors at once in our load test.
The one-year term is the thing to plan for. Because the intro price covers only one year, StartUp costs $695.52 over four years, close to three times ChemiCloud Starter, which was also quicker under load. A Black Friday price helps less than it looks: at $1.99 the first year costs $23.88 instead of $47.88, and the next three years renew at $17.99/mo either way.
What Happens When the First Year Ends
The intro price, and any Black Friday price, is for your first 12 months only. After that StartUp renews at $17.99/mo, $215.88 a year; GrowBig at $29.99/mo, $359.88 a year; GoGeek at $44.99/mo, $539.88 a year. SiteGround prints the renewal under each plan card as "Renews at".
- Put the renewal date in your calendar when you buy, with a reminder about six weeks before. With a 12-month term it comes round quickly.
- Price the second year before you buy. On StartUp the renewal year costs $215.88, more than four years of today's intro price at some hosts.
- Compare before it renews. Moving to another host can cost less than the renewal; our guide on whether to renew or move walks through the numbers, and our SiteGround renewal page covers SiteGround's side.

Who Should Buy It
Hostinger vs SiteGround and SiteGround vs Bluehost compare it with the two hosts buyers most often weigh it against.
Check These Before You Pay
- The renewal line. SiteGround prints "Renews at" under each plan; the sale price is for the first 12 months.
- The plan for your sites. StartUp hosts one website; GrowBig adds unlimited sites and staging.
- Add-ons. Keep only what you chose. Daily backups, SSL and the WordPress migrator are already included.
- The data center. Pick the one closest to most of your visitors.
What I Would Do
If SiteGround is the host you want, I would buy in the early deal. StartUp has been $1.99 on every sale since 2022, against $3.99/mo today, and the early price has been the same as Black Friday's, so there is nothing to gain by waiting for the weekend. Then I would put the renewal in my calendar, because $17.99/mo starts after one year.
If you are choosing on speed and the four-year bill rather than SiteGround's tools, the Cloudways Black Friday deal is my pick, and the ChemiCloud Black Friday page has the cheapest fast shared plan.

SiteGround Black Friday FAQ
When does SiteGround Black Friday 2026 start?
Expect the early deal in early November. Last year SiteGround's homepage showed an Early Black Friday Deal, 88% off with StartUp from $1.99, by November 9, 2025, nearly three weeks before Black Friday. The sale then ran as a Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale, was still live with a countdown on December 1, and a Cyber Monday Extended offer was on the web hosting page on December 4.
Is the SiteGround Black Friday price lower than the normal price?
Yes, on every record we have. In 2022, 2023 and 2025 the sale took StartUp, GrowBig and GoGeek to $1.99, $3.99 and $5.99 a month, against $2.99, $4.99 and $7.99 in early October 2022 to 2024. Today the plans are $3.99/mo, $6.69/mo and $10.69/mo, so if the sale repeats, the cut against today's price would be bigger than in past years.
Do I need a coupon code for SiteGround Black Friday?
No. The sale prices show on SiteGround's own plan cards from the first day of the early deal. Codes on coupon sites belong to past years; check the price in the cart before you pay.
What does SiteGround renew at after the Black Friday year?
SiteGround sells its shared plans on a 12-month prepaid term, so a Black Friday price lasts one year. StartUp then renews at $17.99/mo, GrowBig at $29.99/mo and GoGeek at $44.99/mo. Those rates have not moved since 2023; in 2021 and 2022 they were $14.99, $24.99 and $39.99.
Which SiteGround plan should I buy on Black Friday?
For one site, StartUp. For several sites or if you want staging, GrowBig. GoGeek was the quickest of the three in our test, 640ms with 100 visitors at once against 900ms on StartUp, but it renews at $44.99/mo.
Is SiteGround fast enough for WordPress?
For a small site, yes, but it was the slowest shared host in our comparison under load. StartUp answered in 312ms from New York with one visitor and 900ms with 100 at once, and 5% of requests failed. Uptime was good: 99.97% over 54 days.
Can I get a refund on a SiteGround Black Friday plan?
SiteGround lists a 30-day money-back guarantee on its shared plans. Domain fees and add-ons are usually handled apart from the hosting refund, so read SiteGround's refund terms before you pay if that matters to you.
