Unser Urteil

DreamHost
Choose DreamHost if: you want WordPress.org credibility, long refund windows, and optional DreamPress without enterprise pricing. 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.

WP Engine
Choose WP Engine if: you need Genesis + child themes, enterprise CDN, SOC-friendly workflows, and dedicated WP support. Managed updates, caching, and scaling, so developers focus on features. On the trade-off side, far above shared hosting cost. Hard to justify for low-traffic blogs.
