Tenth analysis of the comparison of hostings for WordPress, in which we analyze the provider HostEurope, with its Business plan.
Both in this analysis, and in the rest of the , we have analyzed seven basic sections:
- contracted plan: Characteristics of it by choosing a basic plan that allows working with WordPress.
- Recruitment process: We look at complexity, the information we receive, and payment options.
- Information process after purchase: We have already paid and we analyze what information is received as well as if it makes life easier (or complicates it for us).
- WordPress installation: We use the automated installer and see what they install for us and the pros and cons.
- Tests and tests: Using different services we know the speed and security.
- Technical support: We create different bugs and analyze the time and quality of the response.
- Return: Some hostings have a satisfaction guarantee or similar, we value the ease or difficulty of their processing.
In each of these sections we have evaluated different variables, scoring from 1 to 3, according to the following criteria:
- 1 point: It can be better
- 2 points: Correct
- 3 points: Okay
This analysis does not have any affiliate links (in fact it does not even have links) and has been done without any notice to the provider. You have simply proceeded to buy a shared domain and hosting plan and analyze it.
contracted plan
We hire Business hosting. It is surprising that an SSL certificate is not included and that it has such a high cost compared to the domain. If we want it for a multisite, the certificate is already worth more than the plan we have chosen.

Hiring Process
It is the only place where the card failed us and in the end we had to use PayPal (which has a surcharge). They save the card data but then it cannot be deleted, as is also the case with SiteGround.
Hiring time 10 minutes 2 Steps of the purchase process 7 2 Does it allow an external domain? YES 3 Does it include domain? No 1 Price of .com €11.99 2 Registered ICANN YES 3 Payment Options Card, Paypal with surcharge 2 30-day money-back guarantee 3 Total 18/24 points
Information process after purchase
Clear and complete. DNS propagation takes just a few minutes, and we get to work with WordPress.

WordPress installation at Host Europe
Quick and simple process that allows us to install WordPress from cPanel simply and quickly. It does not allow customizations, and we must contract the SSL separately. We emphasize that the maximum file size is only 12 MB.

Tests and tests
After installing the demo content, we activated theme Twenty Nineteen and analyzed its performance.
In the tests carried out using different tools, the site works acceptably even with 22 recurring users, remaining under 9 seconds.

Technical support
The first support ticket we opened was a bad experience because the response was that they did not support WordPress, but the following ones the response was very different and positive.
Error Resolution time Response Error 404 for not saving permalinks Wednesday afternoon 10 hours 54 minutes Failed “Unfortunately we do not support the application level and we have not detected any error at the server level that could affect it.” 1 Error 500 (touching htaccess) Friday morning 2 hours 7 minutes We open a ticket but they call on the phone Success – Successful solution 3 Error wp-login.php Saturday morning 8 minutes Success – Accurate response and instructions to fix it 3 Syntax error playing a plugin Sunday at 9:00 p.m. 8 minutes Success – They find the error and they solve it 3 Total 10/12
Return
Host Europe offers 30 days to return, but instead of returning the money to our account, they give us credit for their platform.
