Hi everyone!
I built my portfolio on SiteGround for a web design class, but it’s getting too pricey. I don’t know much about website management, so I’m looking for affordable hosting options to move my site.
The site has a lot of high-quality images since it’s a portfolio, and I used Elementor for design. I was considering DreamHost—any thoughts on it? Or other suggestions that won’t break the bank?
Thanks in advance!
If you’re looking for hosting options, check out the recommended hosts here on the forum or the sidebar. Adding more details like budget and specific needs might help get better recommendations.
Have you checked out the hosts in the recommendations on the side? Also, how many images are you working with if they’re heavy?
Do you have a specific budget in mind when you say “not expensive”?
I’d suggest Nixihost. They migrated all my sites when I was switching hosts, and their shared hosting plans have lots of features for fair prices. If you reach out to their support, they can probably recommend a plan based on your image-heavy site.
If SiteGround is too pricey, there are definitely budget-friendly alternatives. Since you have a lot of images and use Elementor, look for a host with good storage and performance. Also, having features like free site migration, SSL, and backups will be helpful.
DreamHost is a solid option, but there are others to explore. Customer support might also be valuable since you’re new to site management. Good luck with the move!
Check out Nixihost. Their $6/month plan covers the basics to get your site up and running. Plus, they’ll help you migrate your site for free—many providers charge extra for that.
How much are you paying at SiteGround? They have pretty affordable plans, but remember, sometimes you get what you pay for.
