Both Hetzner and Contabo offer solid specs for the price. For a simple WordPress blog, either will work if you keep things updated and secure.

Choosing a VPS host mainly depends on performance, uptime, and scalability. I have tried a few, but HostInc felt more stable in terms of speed and control. Their VPS setup handles traffic well without random slowdowns, which made a noticeable difference for my projects.

If you are just starting one WordPress blog, I would not overbuy the VPS at the beginning.

For a new WordPress blog, the most important things are usually:

  • enough RAM for WordPress, PHP and database
  • fast SSD/NVMe storage
  • a location close to your visitors
  • reliable network
  • simple upgrades later
  • backups
  • basic server security
  • good support or clear documentation
Hetzner is often good value, but it is still self-managed VPS hosting, so you need to be comfortable setting up and maintaining the server yourself. Contabo can offer a lot of resources for the price, but with very cheap VPS plans it is always worth checking real-world network performance, disk performance and support expectations.

For one new WordPress blog, I would normally start smaller and keep the setup clean. You do not need a huge VPS unless you already expect high traffic, heavy plugins, WooCommerce, lots of media or custom applications.

A simple WordPress VPS setup would usually need:

  • Linux VPS
  • Nginx or Apache
  • PHP
  • MariaDB/MySQL
  • SSL certificate
  • firewall
  • backups
  • basic monitoring
If you want a WordPress-focused VPS option, this may be useful to compare:

The main thing is to choose a provider that gives you stable performance, a sensible upgrade path and a server location that matches your audience. For a first WordPress blog, reliability and ease of management matter more than choosing the biggest VPS spec for the lowest price.
