Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable WordPress hosting provider for my current setup.
My setup:
– Domain: adriandylanwulf.de
– Domain registrar and DNS: IONOS SE, including IONOS Anycast DNS
– Website: WordPress, currently hosted at Mittwald
– Email: Microsoft 365
– Email security gateway: Hornetsecurity in front of Microsoft 365
I would like to keep the domain at IONOS and continue managing the DNS records and nameservers there. I do not want to transfer the domain or move the nameservers unless there is a very compelling reason.
The hosting provider should support external/custom domains while allowing the DNS and nameservers to remain at IONOS.
My main priorities are:
-
Security
-
Stability and reliability
-
Good WordPress performance
-
Reliable backups and restore options
-
CDN support would be a bonus
My budget is ideally up to €40 per month, with an absolute maximum of €50 per month. I’m mainly interested in the real long-term price, not temporary introductory offers.
I do not want to move my email away from Microsoft 365. I’m only looking for a better or more suitable hosting environment for the website.
What providers would you recommend for this setup? I would especially appreciate real-world experiences regarding:
– Security and server hardening
– Stability and uptime
– WordPress performance
– Backups and recovery
– CDN options
– Support quality
– Keeping DNS and nameservers at IONOS
– The actual monthly cost after introductory pricing
I currently use Mittwald and the website is running well, but I’m comparing alternatives and would like to hear the experiences of other customers.
One note: I used ChatGPT to help write and translate this post because my English is honestly not very good. Sorry if the wording sounds a little awkward. 🙂
