Unser Urteil

Contabo
Choose Contabo if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (318 ms vs 445 ms) and better headline speed scores for your workload. High RAM per euro for memory-heavy staging setups. On the trade-off side, basic, slow ticket support.

HostGator
Choose HostGator if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($3.75/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (8.4 vs 8.0). Familiar brand for buyers who know it from ads. On the trade-off side, slower loading than LiteSpeed rivals with default caching.
