Nosso veredito

Nossa escolha
Cloudways
Choose Cloudways if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($14.00/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.2 vs 9.0). Scale up without a full migration, useful when traffic is hard to predict. On the trade-off side, more expensive than a raw VPS. Know the trade before committing.

WP Engine
Choose WP Engine if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (245 ms vs 292 ms) and stronger rated support in our rubric. 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.
