Extremely Reliable and Useful Wordpress Hosting
What do you like best about the product?
I like that this is not a hosting platform that is difficult to use like GoDaddy or Network Solutions. The UI is great. There's a plugin for Wordpress that helps facilitate moving between a development domain and your live domain. Its portal is also easily accessible from your Wordpress install so you can do things like enable SSL, set up redirect rules, establish a staging environment and more. SSL comes with all packages and is easy to enable.
What do you dislike about the product?
To write redirect rules, you have to use RegEx language, which can be tedious, but there's documentation to support it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able to migrate our customers off of hard to use/risky platforms and move them to WPEngine easily. We solve 404 errors quickly, fix long server load times from hosts like GoDaddy, and help minimize the amount of user errors on web development by utilize the staging environment that is easy to setup. It's also very easy to stand up an old version of your site on a development domain.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As long as you're using Wordpress as your CMS, this is the only option you should consider for web hosting. Know the difference between DNS hosting and web hosting before getting started with choosing a provider. Consult support and the sales team at WP Engine, they're really helpful.
Reliable hosting, well worth it.
What do you like best about the product?
Their systems and support are the best business-grade solutions for Wordpress hosting I have experienced. Great tools like Git integration, backups, and user management allows a professional agency or larger company really do what they need to do for their websites.
What do you dislike about the product?
They can be a little costly I feel. That is really the only thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use WP Engine for our hosting solution. They have been great with supporting our Wordpress instances. It has allowed us to focus on our design and development and less about servers and systems. It has really allowed our marketing department scale and be more agile.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just consider the dedicated server. You will be able to control things better and customize more specifically for your website needs.
Best WordPress Hosting
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use and manage sites, 24x7 Support and very helpful techies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some limitations on shared platform but I guess that is to be expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hosting client sites with zero downtime to date.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a free trial - you won’t be disa
WP Engine has great features and amazing customer support
What do you like best about the product?
What don't I like? First, migrating sites to WP Engine could not be easier. Managing my sites is so easy. Backing up and restoring my site is easy. Setting up SSL is easy. All of these things are so much harder on all other web hosting platforms I have worked with.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see more tiers for accounts. jumping from 1 site for $30 to 10 sites for $100 is big, it would be good to see something in-between. It would also be nice to add more storage to your account without going to the next tier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am reducing the time I need to manage my Wordpress installs greatly with WP Engine. What takes me a minute or two with WP Engine would have taken me up towards an hour or sometimes more with the other hosting platforms I have used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WP Engine is great but pricy. The performance is great. I moved to WPMU Dev to save some money.
Simple WordPress management with extra super powers
What do you like best about the product?
Beyond making hosting and management of our website simple, WP Engine's platform has allowed us to significantly optimize our website in terms of load time, content quality and user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor issues may arise from the security standards of WP Engine's storage; however, I have not encountered any problems that could not be reasonably overcome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We moved my company's website from self-hosting in AWS to WP Engine in order to remove resource burden from the IT department. WP Engine has performed well, and has created a self-service environment for marketing to plan and implement website changes and optimization.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For the price, this is an easy sell internally given the time resources WP Engine will save your IT and marketing departments.
No worries webhosting
What do you like best about the product?
Daily backups, best is business malware monitoring
What do you dislike about the product?
No email hosting, you will need to get Google Mail or Outlook hosted solutions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instant restore of a website is very easy.
WPEngine for WordPress Hosting Hits the Sweet Spot
What do you like best about the product?
There is a lot to like about WPEngine, but I think their support team is the best. They are friendly, knowledgeable, quick, and thorough. They take the time to help but also to make sure I understand the technical aspects of the issue at hand. Their security is top notch, too. In the years we've been hosting with them, we've never had any hacks, breaches, or any security issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't much of anything to dislike. I do wish they had some better entry-level pricing options, but other than that, I can't complain about the quality of service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WPEngine keeps me from worrying about the security of my website. Their support staff keeps me from spending unnecessary time troubleshooting issues. Website uptime is exceptional.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This space is pretty crowded. There are good options from Flywheel, Pagely, Kinsta, and others. WPEngine sits at the intersection of good pricing with good features, making it a great value when compared with the others.
Perfect for Freelancing
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about WP Engine is how easy they make everything. If you need a staging environment - boom - there you go. If you need a CDN set up - boom - there you go. If you need SSL - boom - you get it. Also the live chat support is amazing!
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing may seem initially a little high with what you can usually find at other places in regards to basic hosting, the pricing tiers are annoying too. Basic at $30 and the next level is $100...kind of a leap...
Also..setting up the domain mapping is a bit of a headache as the DNS records seem to take longer than normal.
Also..setting up the domain mapping is a bit of a headache as the DNS records seem to take longer than normal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a freelance business owner I relay on the ability to set up quick SECURE staging environments and deploy sites quickly to my clients servers. Super easy to get things done with just pushing buttons. Also, if I have any tricky server questions the live support team is available even at 3am in the morning.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look into pantheon.io as well. I haven't used it but I've heard good reviews about them as well. Pricing is the same so I'm not going to switch, pantheon does Drupal hosting as well if you need your agency to be more flexible.
We love the additional security and backups they provide
What do you like best about the product?
I love that it's the closest you can come to a managed site without it actually being managed, It's great knowing that you don't have to remember to keep up with updates as they are done automatically,, backups are regular and included in the price along with image optimization for speed. Support is great too.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's quite expensive for Wordpress hosting, also their basic plans are 1 site or 10 sites and with the 1 site plan you can't do multi-sites.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a solution that was secure and backups and covered updates. Our webs team is part-time so we often don't remember to keep our sites up-to-date so knowing that this is covered is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The 10 site plan really is the better plan if you run multiple sites, you can also run multi-sites within this plan. Setup is a bit hard especially if you are using 1on1 for domains but they prove support for all of this. Once setup running it is a dream, require hardly any regular maintenance as they cover all of this.
Best professional hosting for Wordpress
What do you like best about the product?
WP Engine support and backend is the best I've ever had to use. They're UX is and Cpanel are clear and modern. The 24 hour chat support and phone support is staffed by technical people and i haven't had an issue yet. Deploying sites and creating staging environment is super fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
very little is wrong with WPengine. Sometimes it can be a bother to not have the customization of adding on extra thinks (like a client portal built outside of WP) but thats extremely small and rare.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WpEngine has a no worry solution for automatic backups and free SSL is great for $30/month. They scale to our needs as well so we never have to worry about being throttled if we get a lot of press. and at $1 for every 1000 visitors over your quote, hits one of the cheapest solutions
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Wp engine is fantastic if all your needs are met within the wordpress ecosystem. otherwise it can be challenging to find work arounds.
