Bluehost vs IONOS összehasonlítás – részletes bemutató

Gyakran ismételt kérdések

Which is faster in testing, IONOS or Bluehost?

Bluehost returned a faster TTFB (434ms against IONOS’s 539ms), a faster LCP (1.1s against 1.4s), and a 0ms Total Blocking Time against IONOS’s 30ms on the day-one GTmetrix tests. IONOS’s GTmetrix Performance score was marginally higher (92% against 91%), and its fully loaded time was faster (1.9s against 2.3s). On uptime, IONOS logged 3 incidents totaling 54 minutes over 30 days against Bluehost’s single 19.5-minute incident.

Is IONOS VPS significantly cheaper than Bluehost VPS?

Yes, by a substantial margin. IONOS’s L+ VPS at $6/month for the first 3 months delivers 6 vCores, 8GB RAM, and 240GB NVMe. Bluehost’s nearest comparable plan (NVMe 4) runs approximately $44.99/month for 4 vCores and 8GB RAM. Even after IONOS’s promotional period ends, its standard annual rates undercut Bluehost’s regular VPS pricing at comparable resource allocations.

Does Bluehost have phone support like IONOS?

Both offer phone support, but under different conditions. IONOS operates topic-based phone lines that connect with no hold time and are available beyond standard US business hours. Bluehost’s phone lines run during US business hours; outside those hours, live chat is the available channel. For teams based outside North America or running production workloads that need off-hours access, IONOS’s availability is the practical advantage.

Both are WordPress.org recommended. Does that matter?

The endorsement carries weight, but it does not separate the two in this comparison because both hold it. Bluehost has been on the list since 2005; IONOS also appears on the recommended hosts page. For a buyer using the WordPress.org recommendation as a qualifying filter, both pass; the decision then comes down to the other categories.

What is the SMTP port 25 issue on IONOS?

IONOS blocks SMTP port 25 by default on all its VPS and server plans as a measure against spam originating from its network. The block is standard practice on managed hosting infrastructure, but it matters if you plan to run your own mail server. Enabling port 25 requires a phone call to IONOS customer support and applies only after a review of the account. If outbound email delivery is part of your setup, making that call before starting the mail server configuration avoids delays.

Which provider is better for EU deployments?

IONOS, based on data center depth and certifications. Its seven European locations across six cities, combined with ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS documentation at the Equinix Frankfurt facility, give it more options for EU data residency and GDPR compliance than Bluehost’s four European locations. Bluehost covers Spain and Germany among its European options, but the depth of IONOS’s EU network is not matched.

Why did Bluehost return 403 errors in some countries during testing?

The global HTTP test returned 403 responses from Bulgaria, Iran, Israel, Moldova, Spain, and Sweden, while ping tests from those same locations passed cleanly. A 403 error from a location that can reach the server by ICMP but not by HTTP usually points to a firewall rule, CDN policy, or WordPress-level security plugin blocking specific IP ranges or countries. It is not a hardware or server fault. If you are deploying a site with visitors in any of those regions, reviewing the site’s firewall and security plugin settings before launch will confirm whether the block is intentional.
