WPX Hosting Vs SiteGround: Which is Better?
If you are having a hard time understanding the WPX hosting vs SiteGround, this post will walk you through the important differences and give you a very clear picture of the WPX hosting vs SiteGround.
I have spent months using both WPX Hosting and SiteGround and here are my thoughts.
WPX Hosting Vs SiteGround
WPX Hosting was founded in 2013 and has been around for some years now. If we consider its performance so far, I haven't really heard anything disappointing about its service as of yet.
I have to admit that WPX Hosting is one of those companies that have emerged really fast and found a name in the industry. The service is characterized by excellent speed, uptime, and security.
Started in 2004, SiteGround is one of the recommended companies by WordPress.org. SiteGround offers a reliable service that comprises speed and security. The service now runs on the Google Cloud Platform which makes it even improved.
Performance of WPX Hosting Vs SiteGround
If we consider performance, WPX Hosting is slightly better than SiteGround it has a response time lower than that of SiteGround.
The average response time of WPX Hosting is 468ms while monitored from ten USA locations without CDN.
On the other end, SiteGround response time averages 584ms from same test locations.
While WPX hosting is faster than SiteGround, I noticed the response time of WPX often fluctuates whenever the server gets a high load. On the other hand, SiteGround offers consistent performance with no spikes at any time.
WPX Hosting Vs SiteGround – Datacenter Locations
WPX Hosting got 3 data center locations that include Chicago (US), London (UK), and Sydney (Australia).
On the contrary, SiteGround offers customers as many as 6 data center locations that include London (UK), Eemshaven (NL), Frankfurt (DE), Council Bluffs, IOWA (USA), Singapore (SG), and Sydney (AU). This gives SiteGround a leading edge over WPX Hosting.
Which Support is better- SiteGround Vs WPX Hosting
Moving on to support, it is not really difficult to determine the winner. While WPX Hosting offers a pretty simple and dedicated 24×7 support through live chat and tickets, SiteGround offers priority support on only the top-tier plan which is GoGeek.
Advanced Priority support comprises resolving the technical issues through chat and tickets with exceptional quality and speed by the most experienced executives. The low-tier plans get limited support through 24×7 live chat, phone, and tickets. This clearly makes WPX Hosting the winner in terms of support.
SiteGround Vs WPX Hosting in terms of Pricing
Moving over to the plans and pricing, I largely feel that SiteGround plans are better than WPX Hosting. SiteGround offers unlimited websites on its Growbig and GoGeek plans.
However, this doesn't hold true for WPX Hosting and it supports multiple yet limited websites on its plans. Further, SiteGround plans are comparatively much cheaper than those of WPX Hosting which makes SiteGround the winner in terms of pricing.
Concluding
There is no real winner between SiteGround and WPX Hosting. If you are running an agency looking to host multiple websites at affordable pricing, then SiteGround is the ultimate choice for you. You get a lot of Google data center options, a modern control panel, etc.
On the other hand, WPX Hosting is great in terms of performance and support.
