Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper: Cloudways or SiteGround?

Cloudways: Free trial for three days; paid service pricing depends on the selected configuration. SiteGround: USD 2.99/month equivalent. 12 months prepaid. Different products or billing conditions must not be treated as equivalent. Missing comparable prices prevent a defensible cheapest-provider claim.

Do introductory prices guarantee the renewal price?

Are listed coupons guaranteed to work?

No. Availability on HostCodes is not a guarantee. Each offer shows its recorded status; check eligibility and the final checkout total.
