Flywheel Reviews & Product Details

By far the best support I've received from a hosting company. They are very quick to answer questions, and you get to speak to a live person right away. Their management interface is super simple to navigate and includes many features you have to pay extra for with other providers. SSL, backups, etc., are all included and very easy to use.

When our website needs to send a lot of notifications (password resets, purchase confirmations, etc.) in a single day, we've exceeded our email limit and Flywheel shut down our email. This led to hundreds of customers not receiving notifications for the time it was down, and this has happened multiple times. We've not been able to get a solid number from them on email limits, or any solution for increasing those limits.

Simple Wordpress hosting with excellent 24/7/365 customer support.

Their choice of Google Cloud Platform, Growth Suite, client reports, and billing capabilities using Stripe are exceptional features for agencies that you don't want to miss.

There's not much to dislike. The minor issues may seem significant, but it's just a matter of voting for your feature and hoping it will get implemented. Staging backups are missing, and that's all to complain about for now.

We have been hosting our clients at another host that does not offer managed WordPress hosting with the ability to send out client reports and also send out invoices for work done. Flywheel helps us do all that and be super-efficient.

I LOVE their user interface. It's so intuitive and it doesn't give me anxiety from looking at it like I get with most hosting provider dashboards.

The price is a little high but definitely worth it.

Really fast wordpress hosting that is reliable so I never have to worry about it. No downtime so far.

Flywheel has helped our web design project flow.

I wish it wasn’t so expensive so we could pass on those savings to our customers.

We have a agency plan with Flywheel and this helps us rapidly develop demo sites and keep all of our clients sites under one umbrella.

WordPress performance & security are outstanding on Flywheel. They also have the cleanest, most inviting dashboard UI of any host I've used. They only show you the options you actually need. They also make it easy for me as a developer to hand the site off to a client or billing admin.

There are times when I as a developer would like a little more control. Also, I wish all of their plans included staging, and it would be nice if the "development" period when setting up a new site was longer than 30 days. It usually takes me longer than that to take a site from start to launch.

Setting clients up with a WordPress host that is dependable and isn't trying to upsell them at every opportunity.

Ease of use, website speed and backup. Restoring to a previous version is very easy. Customer service is very good, but has slipped recently.

I've been with Flywheel for 4 years. Technically, it's the best I've ever seen. Speed, uptime, interface all excellent. But this is not the best hosting for 1 or 2 websites. This is a professional-level, agency-oriented hosting company, evolving toward agencies with 20 or more clients. Pricing recently changed from 4 choices to 2. You can have 1 website or 10, there's nothing in between. I just don't need 10 websites. Also, customer service is slipping. Used to be, I'd get a support ticket response within 15 minutes. Now, it's more than 24 hours.

"What problems is Flywheel..." is incorrect English... C'mon, guys.... Learn to write. None. I run 2 websites of my own and although the technical performance of my website is superb, and customer support is slipping. Plus, it is WAY too expensive for just 2 websites. This is an agency host.

It's so easy to manage all of your WordPress sites in one spot. Their support team is awesome!

You can only add WordPress websites, so we have had to find other alternatives for our HTML sites.

Our server was hard to manage and Flywheel's support team makes it so much easier.

I really like that Flywheel has easy-to-use and easy-to-understand server management, site backups, and one-click site restoration. I also love their Local feature where you are able to edit WordPress sites on your local server, or restore a backup to the local server to grab media or something else that was lost.

I dislike that their support team can only direct you to articles rather than going in and doing difficult tasks on your behalf.

I work for a web design company and one of our white label clients uses Flywheel. It is a good solution for him since he is not a developer, but a designer. We are able to collaborate easily with him using flywheel.

The user experience is just so beautiful. The amount of effort placed into designing something as simple and elegant must have been tremendous, and it shows in the usability of the platform. Saying that I love using Flywheel is a severe understatement.

The pricing is ok for most basic sites, but for heavy traffic sites that require a higher page view count, $1 for 1000 sessions is really steep. So heavy ecommerce and/or blog sites are not going to work for that price point

We like how easy it is to pass the cost of hosting and the support of the wordpress site to the customer. It's simple elegant and I never had a client say they didnt understand the workflow. It basically just works
