Arvixe vs. SiteGround (2020)

Both of these web hosting companies provide excellent plans that are loaded with extra features. So, comparing Arvixe to SiteGround is a close call. Arvixe and SiteGround‘s hosting plans both give you plenty of useful features at very reasonable prices. Therefore, they each get high scores for value. Both Arvixe and SiteGround have servers located on multiple continents.

Arvixe is a good choice for a lot of different types of websites—including Dreamweaver and Adobe GoLive. And we do like the free domain for life and 60 day money back guarantee you get with Arvixe. Going with Arvixe will give you lots features at a lower price.

On the other hand, SiteGround does specialize in WordPress and Joomla hosting. So if you plan to use one of these content management systems, SiteGround is probably the better choice. We really like the premium WordPress and Joomla features you get at SiteGround. Comparable managed WordPress hosting plans elsewhere will cost you much more than what you pay at SiteGround.

UPDATE: As of August 2016 we would highly recommend SiteGround over Arvixe. While SiteGround continues to innovate and improve their web hosting services, Arvixe now has an F rating with the Better Business Bureau. Furthermore, when Arvixe automatically renewed a hosting plan that I didn’t wish to keep, they did not immediately issue a refund.
