German Hosting Provider

[Nomak]

Hi folks,

I am currently in search for a new hosting solution for my processwire client-websites (40 websites) with a strong focus on loading performance.
Right now, the websites are hosted on an old Hosteurope shared hosting with HDD - which is going to be closed down this year.
The new cPanel shared hosting Hosteurope offers in order to replace the old one has some strange weaknesses/limitation (I have tested it deeply). So I am forced to leave Hosteurope after many many years.

Right now, I am testing varios hosting provider - for various reasons it must be form Germany.
For testing I am comparing a live-website running on my old Hosteurope shared hosting with a duplicate of the live-website running on the new hosting provider. The testing tool I am using: Pagespeed Insights (https://pagespeed.web.dev/)

In the past weeks I have tested webgo.de's managed vServer with ssd/nvme. But it was really disappointing: the websites loading performance was weaker than on my old Hosteurope shared hosting. And, they didn't even managed to activate http2.

So right now, I am testing the managed server from Hetzner (product name MA80 with really strong physical stats). Even here, the websites loading performance is weaker than on my old Hosteurope shared hosting. And so far, the Hetzner support didn't help me to configure the server the for more performance.

I am no server expert, can anyone recommend a hosting solution that has a really good loading performance?

Best

You could try all-inkl.com (Premium+). Their performance is on par with my Hetzner Dedi. And very reliable, too.

Hi,

I am running a PW site with about 3000 frontend-users and medium traffic on all-inkl.com without issues for over a year now. Performance and response times are quite good. Switched the site last year from Strato due to slow DB queries on higher traffic. No issues with PW on all-inkl so far.

Cheers

I’ve been using Contabo since March 2015. My journey started with a VPS M + cPanel setup, later upgrading to VPS L. When cPanel changed its pricing policy, I switched to a VPS XL paired with RunCloud.

Handling email support directly from the server was a major time drain and source of headaches for me. One of the main reasons I chose RunCloud was to strictly host websites on the server. This allowed me to focus on my actual work without getting bogged down by email delivery issues.

However, I eventually started experiencing sporadic issues with shared resources (RAM, CPU, network speed) on the standard VPS instances. I switched to their VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) solutions and used them problem-free for a long time.

Later, I needed a panel that could manage Docker, Node.js, and PHP all in one place, which led me to Ploi.io. After testing it thoroughly, I cancelled my long-standing RunCloud service and fully migrated to Ploi. During this transition, I took advantage of a Black Friday deal at Contabo where I could get a Dedicated Server for the same price I was paying for the VDS.

Right now, I manage 3 servers via Ploi:

• Contabo Dedicated (Germany location)

• Contabo VDS (Australia location)

• SH VDS (Turkey location)

My advice: You might run into "noisy neighbor" issues with Contabo's standard VPS plans, but in my experience, their VDS servers offer a great price/performance ratio. If you are planning to host 40 sites with heavy traffic on a single machine, I strongly recommend choosing between a VDS or a Dedicated server rather than a standard VPS.

If you decide to give Ploi.io a try, feel free to use my referral link: https://ploi.io/register?referrer=3XC1ka9hnGeqGiAPX5va

Also, if you need the Nginx configuration for ProcessWire, let me know—I can share the specific template I created for Ploi.

I have been using Netcup’s vServers for a very long time, as well as the Webhosting 8000. On the vServer – currently a VPS 2000 ARM G11 – I have ISPConfig (open source) installed and use it to manage numerous domains and email accounts. So far, I’ve actually had no problems at all, everything has been very reliable.
