Additional Discount

Lyrical Host

Lyrical Host provides a 10% discount for Blog Like a Business readers for anyone who signs up using the code “Business” at checkout.

They also provide flexible plans including a month to month for $11.99, and a 6 month plan, 1 year plan, 2 year plan, and a 3 year plan each for only $10.00 a month. Renewal rates stay the same.

Domain Privacy

SiteGround

SiteGround charges a $12 a year for domain privacy fee to keep your personal information such as your name, address, phone number, and email out of public record.

Lyrical Host

Lyrical Host believes that privacy is essential to their clients and that it shouldn’t have to come at a cost.

Therefore, unlike other hosting companies, Lyrical Host automatically does it free of charge.

Migration

SiteGround

SiteGround claims to have free migration but when you read the offer it is clear that you do the migration yourself.

There is a $30 for SiteGround to migrate your site for you there is a $30 free.

Lyrical Host

Lyrical Host offers complementary white glove migration.

This means that they do the whole process for you, for free, while keeping you in formed every step of the way.

CDN

Having a CDN, or Content Delivery Network, allows your content to loads faster.

Both SiteGround and Lyrical Host offer a free CDN through Cloudflare upon request.

Summery

The only upside of choosing SiteGround over Lyrical Host is the fact that with your signup plan it is $3 a month cheaper.

However, with Lyrical Host you only have to commit to six months to get the discount – not a year – and the price stays the same upon renewal.

How to Signup with Lyrical Host

Signing up with Lyrical Host is quick and easy. It took me no more than five minutes!

Do yourself a favor and go with WordPress hosting. It is easier and half the SEO is built in for you.

You can also use free or buy themes instead of hiring a designer.

I love the Trellis because it is light weight and has beautiful themes. I also love that it does the work of a bunch of plugins and is built to play well with my favorite plugins.

When I switched from BlueHost to Lyrical Host my blog was big enough that I needed the Boss plan.

However, you need to choose what’s right for you and that you can grow with.

For bloggers just starting out and not big enough to apply to Mediavine, I always recommend the “Tiny” plan.

If you get under 60,000 sessions a month, the “Mighty” plan should be a good fit.

However, you may want to compare Lyrical Host to Agathon and decide which is better for your needs.

If you are big enough to need the “Boss” plan, and you are working with Mediavine or another ad network, seriously check out Agathon instead.

Use the promo code “Business” to get 10% off of your first plan! If you sign up for a year it is like getting a month free!
