Наш вердикт

Наш выбор
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.

Should I pick Cloudways or WP Engine?+
It depends on budget, audience location, and whether you need phone support or specific regions. Our overall scores are 9.2 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.
