Unser Urteil

Unsere Wahl
Cloudways
Choose Cloudways if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.2 vs 8.8) and stronger rated support in our rubric. Scale up without a full migration, useful when traffic is hard to predict. On the trade-off side, more expensive than a raw VPS. Know the trade before committing.

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.
