Unser Urteil

HostGator
Choose HostGator when you want unmetered marketing language, flexible hatchling-to-business ladder, and you already like HostGator phone trees. Familiar brand for buyers who know it from ads. On the trade-off side, slower loading than LiteSpeed rivals with default caching.

Unsere Wahl
Bluehost
Choose Bluehost when WordPress onboarding, Jetpack ecosystem hooks, and the official recommendation shorten stakeholder debate. WordPress.org recommended, a familiar name for first-time buyers. On the trade-off side, slower loading than LiteSpeed hosts at a similar price with default settings.

Which is faster?+
Tune caching on either. Neither matches LiteSpeed-first budget hosts on raw TTFB without optimisation.
