My favorite Managed WordPress Hosting service
What do you like best about the product?
WPEngine offers extremely fast-loading Managed WordPress hosting and makes it very easy to enhance speed with their variety of included tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the traffic limiting. Although it hasn't been a problem yet, I just have a philosophical difference in opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I was using a different host, my site speeds were topping out at 3 seconds. I wanted to get faster. WPEngine has allowed me to have a much faster initial load time, as well as offers features that help me go further.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a single site, it can be a bit pricey, but it is definitely worth what you receive. If you host multiple sites, the plans are structured where you can offer much better deals to your clients than hosting on their own while still making some money for yourself. Win-Win!
Delivers turnkey hosting that our clients need.
What do you like best about the product?
WP Engine's focus has allowed them to fine-tune the experience of hosting a WP site. Having used many hosts, WP Engine is the most simple and most reliable. We want our sites to "just work", and WP Engine is the first to make that happen. There's definitely a philosophy behind WP Engine which just doesn't really exist with other hosts. We appreciate their vision. WP Engine is an active WP community member which shows their broader quest to drive WP forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some developers might see WP Engine's platform limiting as you don't get a "server", so there isn't any CLI or non-LAMP support. For us, this focus and minimalism is actually what makes WP Engine great, but they might not be for everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
WP Engine has allowed us to incorporate hosting as a core component of business. We actually REQUIRE clients host with us because we want the best experience for them and know that WP Engine will deliver that. We've driven revenue and phenomenal client experiences with this approach.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WP Engine comes in at a higher cost per install than many other hosts, but you get what you pay for. Their unrelenting quest to improve their platform, amazing support, and consistent quality beats out others.
Excellent Service and Support
What do you like best about the product?
The automated migration tool makes moving any site over to WP Engine easy as cake. Just install the plugin, follow the step by step instructions and your site is migrated in just a few minutes! And I can use that time to do other things now.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could see what sites have available updates to installed plugins, and the ability to keep notes on a client. We've already converted to WP Engine, but this would save us from needing to keep these notes some where else.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sites built on WP Engine are significantly faster than the sites we had previously been building on our old hosting provider. Add to that the additional security that WP Engine offers in protecting your site from brute force attacks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WP Engine will not be a waste of money or time, between their amazing and helpful support team and the ease of setting up and launching a new site, I have never been happier with a hosting provider.
Excellent WP Host
What do you like best about the product?
I love the auto backups, the staging area and the support. All are very easy to work with. I have been working with word press since version 1 something. WP Engine saves me a ton of time. I have also never had an issue with security. I have used and still use other hosts but will switch them all to WP Engine when I can. The interface is easy to work with and tech support has always gone above and beyond to figure out any issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Plugin restrictions are a minor inconvenience. I understand the purpose and have to agree.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am operating an E-commerce site on WP Engine.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just check the restrictions on plugins and if your good then don't hesitate.
From a Yugo to a Tesla
What do you like best about the product?
There are two things I really like. One is the absolute reliability of the hosting. There has been only one short downtime since I switched from one of the bigger low costing hosting options that was plagued with down times. The other thing I like is the reliability of the tech support. Compared to the other host, it is like going from a Ugo to a Tesla.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it cost less just like I wish a Tesla was affordable...oh well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am trying to expand my reach and monetize my content. Having a reliable hosting experience is obviously foundational to that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are on the fence about switching from a cheap hosting company to WP Engine, give it a try. Not having to spend hours and sometimes days trying to solve problems all the while getting conflicting advice from different tech support staff makes WP Engine worth every penny.
Absolutely blow away by their service
What do you like best about the product?
WP Engine has stellar customer service. As someone who works all hours, having 24/7 chat support was a HUGE selling point for me. Now, after a few months of service, I can say that their 24/7 support is simply amazing. There's never a wait time more than a few minutes and the support staff is always helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
SSL implementation can cause issues when added after launch, but the support staff is always quick to help.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since beginning with WP Engine, we have begun closing our accounts with all other hosting providers. As a WordPress consultant and WordPress design agency, we are blown away by the understanding of the content management system, as well as the level of support given.
We've also realized how great the uptime is with WP Engine. After running a test across other WordPress installations on other hosting providers, WP Engine blew the competition away. After 2 months, ALL WP Engine sites had 100% uptime! Nobody came close.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it. Check out the others. Do your due diligence. Weigh the factors. Then, quit wasting time and sign up.
Small Company Benefits from WP Engine
What do you like best about the product?
Security! Our site was hacked and redirected when hosted by another provider. Since that ordeal, my main concern of security has been relieved by our new relationship with WP Engine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, as a non-tech savvy business owner, I have questions regarding my WordPress site. Finding the right answers can be frustrating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The daily backups by WP Engine and the ease of restoring one of those backups is a terrific benefit. Our previous host did little in this regard. As the owner of a small company, I wear many hats. My technology hat is small but with WP Engine I find that I can accomplish what is necessary to keep our sites updated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend WP Engine, especially to small business owners like myself.
Hands down an amazing hosting platform
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many pieces to proper hosting and WP Engine has them all... Speed, SSL security, support, backups, staging, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't any one thing that stands out as something that I dislike as I have been very satisfied having built and designed plenty of websites on this platform to date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When providing Web Design services there are some key things that are important and speed and security and are becoming more inseparable from the overall user experience.
High Performance, Excellent Service, Extremely Reliable, Good Value
What do you like best about the product?
Their server performance is excellent. We almost never have any downtime. Their support for WordPress developers is outstanding, both in terms of built-in tools and services as well as their 24x7 support by knowledgeable and cheerfully-helpful support engineers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, really. There have been no significant problems for us in using WPEngine since we began using them in 2013.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need high-performance, high-reliability managed WordPress hosting for our clients, whose websites we manage. Occasionally we also need experienced WordPress-savvy support engineers to talk with regarding new challenges and requirements that result from client requests. WPEngine's infrastructure and support personnel have fulfilled those needs very, very well for us.
Outstanding Performance and Nearly Immediate Service
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate how WPE console allows me to review and modify all my client accounts from one easy to use control panel. It takes a bit to make the jump from cpanels, but well worth it! Secondly, it is really nice to know that any one of their support people you talk to know more about WordPress than you do!
What do you dislike about the product?
Their documentation and it's availability/indexing could use some work. Often I have to bug a tech for something that should be easy to find in a KB of some sort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage the hosting accounts for several large WordPress sites and it is great to know that WPE has my back from a hosting standpoint. I would say the biggest benefit I have seen as a small agency is that I don't have to employ an Apache/Hosting guy. WPE handles all of that for me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
WPEngine is a big part of my business and they do a terrific job supporting me and my clients.
