Nuestro veredicto

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.

Nuestra elección
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.
