Unser Urteil

Unsere Wahl
Cloudflare
Choose Cloudflare if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.4 vs 8.8) and faster median TTFB in our probes (198 ms vs 288 ms). API-friendly DNS for setup scripts. On the trade-off side, cache rules need care. Dynamic sites break with wrong proxy settings.
Angebot Cloudflare →
Hetzner
Choose Hetzner if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($4.51/mo). Low EU hosting costs, below big-cloud prices for similar specs. On the trade-off side, not for teams that will not use SSH. Cloud VPS, not managed WordPress.
