Unser Urteil

Unsere Wahl
Cloudflare
Choose Cloudflare if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.4 vs 9.0) and faster median TTFB in our probes (198 ms vs 275 ms). API-friendly DNS for setup scripts. On the trade-off side, cache rules need care. Dynamic sites break with wrong proxy settings.

DigitalOcean
Choose DigitalOcean if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($4.00/mo). Test servers in minutes with Ubuntu and Docker. On the trade-off side, self-managed security and updates unless you pay for more.
