Hosting/VPS migration recommendation

Hello everyone
Got a client with a few wordpress sites. Currently in Siteground. But the renewal price seems a bit high for me around ~600 EUR per year.
What do you think would be the best way moving forward, getting a VPS, dedicated server, moving to another host?
Also what can you recommend up to $30-$35/m in case of a server.
Should have more than 100GB space.
The thing that worries me is stability and email delivery/receiving. Siteground is in GCP and its quite stable and their support has always been quick and responsive when I have had small issues.
Thanks in advance

Might be worth sending Siteground a ticket and asking for a specific price if you have no other issues, and say you'll have to leave if not. But I guess if they're using Google Cloud maybe they don't have the price flexibility.

It sounds spendy, but at the same time your client is getting good service at the moment. Any change will have some risk.
Email can be pulled out to another provider. I like Mythic Beasts. Might drop the costs some.
I think they can also do shared hosting, so the entire stack might be able to be moved there, if the UK is okay for you.
I'm sure there are other reputable web hosts, but I'm not really in that space so I am not sure.
So far the only promising candidate with good reviews and worthy prices seems to be Speedypage. I have found also other alternatives, but good support and stability is essential.
You can get it from many smaller companies that aren't Siteground's size honestly. Theses bigger companies usually only have pricing for 1 year then it doubles or so. Just mind resource limits on shared/reseller hosting, or go a VPS route with something like Directadmin for easy management.

Hello,
Your vps panel looks same as etheron hosting from nl.Do u use telenet or proximus for network?
Kind regards ,
Alex
Hi Alex,
Seems like we both use VirtFusion. We are not affiliated with them in any way.
Telenet/Proximus are mostly home ISP's, not so much datacenter.
We use a combination of multiple carrier uplinks like Cogent and HE.
However, your connection to Telenet and Proximus will be very good since the servers are located in Brussels.
Kind regards,
Niels
You could find many reputed providers here for that budget and a manged VPS too imo . Try @TierNet with whom i'm hosted over a decade now or, you can also find many other providers . Ask for reviews or feedback here and i'm sure you'll have plenty of options. If you know server management and could look after your own setup, you could get eco range from ovh in that budget too plus they have many locations/
Thank you for recommending us!
