Which should you pick?
Choose BigScoots if this fits: best support in the industry for serious wordpress sites. BigScoots pairs genuinely elite, minutes-not-hours support with infrastructure it owns outright. The shared plans are solid, but the managed WordPress tier is where it earns its cult following.
Choose SiteGround if this fits: best premium shared hosting for wordpress sites that outgrew budget hosts. SiteGround pairs genuinely fast Google Cloud infrastructure and superb support with the harshest renewal math in its class - brilliant hosting if you accept what year two costs.
Overall, our scores favor BigScoots (8.9 vs 8.6) - but the right choice depends on which trade-offs matter to you. Read the full BigScoots review and SiteGround review.
