SiteGround renewal shock?
That $4.99 first-year price renews at $24.99–29.99/mo — and the plan is capped by CPU seconds and inodes you can't see until a warning email arrives. Belov Cloud is one flat price from day one, with no hidden execution meter.
SiteGround sells a teaser price and meters you in CPU seconds. Belov Cloud charges the same flat price on day 1 and day 1,000.
SiteGround's headline price is an intro rate for the first term; renewal is typically 3–6× higher. Plans are capped by opaque technical meters — script executions per hour, inodes, memory per process — and a traffic spike or a heavy plugin can trip account-level warnings and throttling, whatever your visit count.

SiteGround's renewal rate lands within dollars of our flat price — but keeps the execution meter, the inode cap, and ticket-based recovery. Figures reflect the vendors' own published list prices (month-to-month) and can change — always check SiteGround's current terms. Annual billing lowers each base.
The same managed WordPress — that runs itself.
It heals itself
An AI copilot watches every site every minute and fixes issues on its own — rebuild cache, reissue SSL, restart a stuck runtime, deactivate a crashing plugin — instead of waiting on a support ticket.
Flat, no meter
One price every month. No per-visit overages, and attack or bot traffic is shed at the edge and never billed as if it were customers.
Free, lossless migration
A byte-exact copy — raw-byte mysqldump, immune to the escaping corruption a DIY plugin export causes on Elementor and serialized data (verified 0 corruption on a real site). Your site lands on the PHP version it runs today, and the AI proves it on a preview URL before you flip DNS — your old host stays warm until you do.
Global edge speed
Cached pages served from the nearest point of presence worldwide in ~5ms, backed by Redis object cache and OPcache JIT.
Real dev control
SFTP file access to live and staging, one-click PHP version switching, live access & error logs, and staging with push-to-live — included, not gated.
Your whole team, free
Invite teammates by role (Admin or Developer, scoped to specific sites) at no extra cost — no per-user fees.
The things people ask first.
SiteGround's first year is much cheaper. Why switch?
If the intro price is the point, stay for the term and set a reminder for renewal — that's when GrowBig becomes $24.99–29.99/mo, within dollars of our flat $39 that never changes. What you get for the difference: no CPU-seconds meter, an AI that fixes outages instead of a ticket queue, visual monitoring, and a security stack on every plan.
What are CPU-seconds limits, and why do they matter?
Shared plans meter script executions and CPU time per hour. A popular post, a bot wave, or one heavy plugin can trip the limit — then the site is throttled or the account warned, regardless of how few 'visits' you had. Belov Cloud has no execution meter: attack and bot traffic is shed at the edge, and honest traffic rides a full-page cache served in ~5ms.
Will my site move without downtime?
Yes. We build a byte-exact copy on a preview URL and verify every route while SiteGround keeps serving. Elementor and serialized data survive intact thanks to the raw-byte export. You flip DNS when it's proven — and if a check fails, you don't switch and owe nothing.
Leave SiteGround this week.
Free migration, run by our AI and double-checked by our team. Flat pricing with no overage meter, and a site that keeps itself alive. If it doesn't pass every check, you don't switch.
