Here is a good read on performance vs. cost when choosing server for your next web project.
In recent years, we have seen the rise of ARM architecture in both Cloud and in Personal Computer Space. And now, they are being considered by everyone as a major contender for the future of computing. And as more than 40% of the modern web is through WordPress, they are starting to make headway into the WordPress hosting. Today, we will be comparing the performance between ARM and x86 and seeing which performs better and how they compare in terms of performance and price.
We will be comparing ARM and x86, hosted on Hetzner “shared vCPU” instances, to see which offers better raw performance as well as cost efficiency when running a typical WordPress store site in Docker. Here are the goals we’ll achieve from the study:

- Raw performance comparison.
- Cost-efficiency (requests/sec per $).
