Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper: Kinsta or SiteGround?

Kinsta: Choose annual billing to receive the advertised two-month saving; total depends on plan. 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?

No. Supplied renewal amounts are shown separately. Confirm the renewal conditions, taxes and add-ons with the provider.

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.
