Unser Urteil

Unsere Wahl

Cloudways

Choose Cloudways if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.2 vs 8.4) and faster median TTFB in our probes (292 ms vs 445 ms). 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.

HostGator

Choose HostGator if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($3.75/mo). Familiar brand for buyers who know it from ads. On the trade-off side, slower loading than LiteSpeed rivals with default caching.

Should I pick Cloudways or HostGator?+

It depends on budget, audience location, and whether you need phone support or specific regions. Our overall scores are 9.2 vs 8.4; cross-check the table with your must-haves, then confirm renewals on the host's checkout.

Do you run live tests on both providers?+

Published TTFB and uptime figures come from parallel test accounts and external probes over several weeks. Storage and site limits reflect published grids checked in April 2026.
