SiteGround is a premium shared host that replaced cPanel entirely with its own custom-built Site Tools panel, trading some of cPanel's universal familiarity for a cleaner, more modern interface. Founded in 2004, it's built a strong reputation for support quality and performance, though it sits at a higher price point than most budget competitors. SiteGround includes free daily backups and 24/7 expert support on every plan.
