Unser Urteil

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.

WP Engine

Choose WP Engine if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (9.0 vs 8.8) and faster median TTFB in our probes (245 ms vs 288 ms). 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.

Häufig Gestellte Fragen

Should I pick Hetzner or WP Engine?+

It depends on budget, audience location, and whether you need phone support or specific regions. Our overall scores are 8.8 vs 9.0; 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.
