Root server vs Enterprise shared hosting
I plan to host multiple WordPress websites and have experience using both CyberPanel and CloudPanel. I'm considering two options: a Netcup root server with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM, or SpeedyPage's Enterprise shared hosting. While Netcup offers better hardware specifications, SpeedyPage includes premium software like LiteSpeed Cache, which could improve performance.
Which option would be better from a performance and website speed perspective?

Go with speedy.
If you want to give it a try, I can spin you up a demo (7 day Free Trial) of one of the Cloud-Hosting Plans on SiteTide.
can you elaborate on why I should go with a speedypage?
Go with Netcup.
netcup is better. after all its a VPS. it wins.
because wordpress is CPU hogging.
Vps is always better than shared hosting (if you know how to manage it )
What netcup hardware RAID use? Maybe RAID 10?
Just go with @speedypage for ease of use.
A basic dedi will hard stomp the alternatives in real world performance of a low traffic website. It will be able to keep caches hot and your threads scheduled in a way that no shared service can match
For apachebench or equivalent real world heavy load, then go by raw performance / YABS / geekbench scores, as latency is less of a concern
I personally think a lot of sites will actually perform better on a well managed Shared Hosting service over a dedicated server. Shared Hosting typically includes extras that most don't want to pay for if it's only being used for 1 site, such as LiteSpeed. VPS also wouldn't always be better and can be affected by CPU steal the exact same way a Shared Hosting account can be.
A well-managed Shared Hosting platform (in my view) will in most cases be better than your own server, unless you know exactly what you are doing and are able to optimize it, in which case, your own server probably would be better.
We recently moved our woocommerce website - fairly large to a shared hosting- I am not naming them since you specifically asked a comparison between speedypage and netcup. After configuring the cache properly and using their redis caching, the site really loads up very quickly. I would personally prefer any stable shared hosting with proper caching since I don’t want to take unnecessary load of managing the server.
