Unser Urteil

Unsere Wahl
Bluehost
Choose Bluehost if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($2.95/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.6 vs 9.2). 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.

Cloudways
Choose Cloudways if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (292 ms vs 412 ms) and better headline speed scores for your workload. 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.
