Notre verdict

Contabo
Choose Contabo if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($4.99/mo) and faster median TTFB in our probes (318 ms vs 355 ms). High RAM per euro for memory-heavy staging setups. On the trade-off side, basic, slow ticket support.

Notre choix
Hover
Choose Hover if you prioritise the higher overall score in our matrix (8.6 vs 8.0) and stronger rated support in our rubric. Domain and email forwarding without a large hosting bundle. On the trade-off side, not for heavy WooCommerce hosting.
