Switching from SiteGround and looking for advice with alternatives (looking at Nixihost, KnownHost, or other)

Hi everyone,

I have SiteGround's GrowBig plan and it's up for renewal again. I negotiated a 20% discount to renew, but I can still find cheaper hosting elsewhere and wondering if I should switch.

I was looking at Nixihost or KnownHost. Currently leaning towards Nixihost for their straightforward pricing. I saw both of them in the sidebar and mentioned a lot in the webhosting subreddit. However, I've also heard that Nixihost runs that subreddit, so might be biased there.

I have a few WordPress websites and I like the shared hosting option for unlimited sites.

Is it worth making the switch from SiteGround to Nixihost, KnownHost, or another option to save? Would the performance be equal on a similar shared plan?

Thank you

Hosting advice (switching from SiteGround to NixiHost or Knownhost; future client hosting environment for a designer)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice.

I currently have SiteGround's GrowBig plan. I like the unlimited websites and have a few WordPress websites with them. But of course, the renewal fees are annoying and this year I'm looking elsewhere. I negotiated and they offered 20% off, but looking at the sidebar NixiHost and KnownHost are still cheaper alternatives. I'm curious if it's worth switching to either of them?

I just want a simple setup and shared hosting has been fine for me. But I currently have a client I've added to my shared hosting, and if I add more I'm not sure if I should be adding them to the shared plan or their own? Reseller?

I was thinking I would keep a shared hosting plan for my own websites and current client for now, then if/when I add more clients I might look at changing it rather than adding them to my shared plan. It'd likely be local businesses, so they don't generate significant website traffic outside of their local geolocations.

If you were switching from SiteGround to either NixiHost or KnownHost, which would you proceed with? And in the future, would you continue adding clients to a shared hosting or how would you setup the environment as a web designer?

Thank you
