WordPress hosting for agencies FAQ

Which host is best for agency WordPress sites?
SiteGround leads for agencies thanks to WordPress caching, one-click staging, collaborator tools and strong support, with A2 Hosting close behind on raw speed.
Do agencies need managed WordPress hosting?
Not always, but managed WordPress hosting handles caching, updates, backups and staging across client sites, which saves your team time and cuts the risk of downtime.
Can my team collaborate on WordPress sites?
Yes. SiteGround offers collaborator and client roles, so staff can work on a client site and the client can be handed access without sharing one admin login.
Can I move client WordPress sites for free?
Often, yes. A2 Hosting includes free WordPress migration, and SiteGround offers a free migration plugin, so you can move client sites with little downtime.
How much does WordPress hosting cost for an agency?
Plans start near $0.80 to $3.95 a month per site on an intro term. Managed WordPress plans cost a little more but add caching, staging and support.
