Unser Urteil

Unsere Wahl
DreamHost
Choose DreamHost if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($2.59/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.2 vs 8.8). 97-day refund, rare and reassuring after a bad previous host. On the trade-off side, no classic phone support on many plans. Chat and callbacks only.

Hetzner
Choose Hetzner if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (288 ms vs 338 ms). 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.

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.
