Nuestro veredicto

Contabo
Choose Contabo if you prioritise faster median TTFB in our probes (318 ms vs 338 ms). High RAM per euro for memory-heavy staging setups. On the trade-off side, basic, slow ticket support.

Nuestra elección
DreamHost
Choose DreamHost if you prioritise the lower advertised entry price ($2.59/mo) and the higher overall score in our matrix (9.2 vs 8.0). 97-day refund, rare and reassuring after a bad previous host. On the trade-off side, no classic phone support on many plans. Chat and callbacks only.
