Flywheel Reviews & Product Details

The support with Flywheel is second to none. More than once now, they're support has included Wordpress troubleshooting - going way beyond troubleshooting server level issues and helping us out in pinches with issues caused by themes, plugins and API outages.

Honestly, nothing comes to mind. There are a few features in the backend that I wish could be done globally (removing or adding collaborators) but no big issues have come up in 5 years with Flywheel.

Hosting of 133 websites, with daily backups and quick server support. The Free Website Migration tool alone saves me so much time - and my productivity = $.

Best back end interface you can get for website hosting. No other tool has a better looking dashboard. Everything you need is there and it makes manaing Wordpress site hosting simple.

So far all is good, but I am concerned that now a larger company has bought them, the way they integrate team members and procedures might not be the best service we are used to getting.

Hosting WordPress websites and collaborating with developers and other people who need to have access to hosting, they have done this better than all other companies.

Flywheel makes it easy to manage all of my clients hosting needs. Plus the support is amazing. Which saves us time.

The staging and e-commerce capabilities could be better.

Flywheel solves hosting and support issues.

I absolutely LOVE what flywheel is doing. Wordpress management has always been a nightmare, especially when you are hosting multiple Wordpress sites. Flywheel makes it so easy.

Everything has been great so far. There is nothing that I have disliked

Wordpress management has always been a nightmare, especially when you are hosting multiple Wordpress sites. Flywheel makes it so easy. It has made managing my clients much easier.

Ease of use. The dashboard is very helpful in building Wordpress sites.

Nothing to dislike about it. Maybe the payment plans, wish there was a cheaper, unlimited option.

Hosting. The dashboard is great.

Easy site migration, very simple to manage your site details, makes it easy to keep your site running the way you want it to

Wish they would allow you to have a test site operating for free (behind a password of course) without paying for it. If you build a side hustle site, you have to complete it within a few days.

Needed a way to host my websites more simply than shared hosting. It has saved me hours every month in management and upgrading.

What attracted me to Flywheel was the ease of use, pricing, and features. I had previously used several other hosting companies, mainly WPEngine and Flywheel I found to be more user-friendly. The bulk packages were a real draw, and although it's a different product, their Local development software was a breakthrough making local dev and deployment a breeze. It has a modern interface that's much easier to use than the competition, it's much faster to setup a site and I receive updates as the deployments are happening.

Sometimes a site will lock up for no apparent reason or won't update on code deployments. Most of the issues stem from their Local development product.

I use Flywheel for effective WordPress hosting, and Flywheel is a game-changer in how quickly I can get a site online and work seamlessly with it locally.

The ease of connectivity, pushing / pulling, and the ability to spin up a local version on my machine. I have the ability to choose whether I want push / pull just the files or the files and the database.

I can't think of something I dislike. Maybe display the site tags in the site list.

We had a clunky process when I started (not using flywheel), and since incorporating flywheel, and some process improvements, we turn what was once a 1 lane highway into a 3 lane highway. We used to use a vendor to help with our backlog, and since, we have not required the use of outsourcing any work!

It works smoothly and seamlessly! I was used to having to do all sorts of things to optimize my sites, and using all sorts of 3rd party services to insure I had security and backups...but that all stopped when I switched to Flywheel. Everything just works. Adding a site is easy. Getting the site up live is easy. Moving a site to a clients account is easy (and you get an affiliate cut) Everything looks beautiful and is well designed. And if you run into trouble their support staff is great and seemingly ever present.

I don't dislike anything. The only thing that approaches anything like that is a slight worry about them being bought by another hosting company. Will they get assimilated? Will they get ruined? Will I have to find a new host and lose this great one? I've addressed this with them and they have reassured me that they are not going away and that they will continue to give great support. So far that has been true, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Great hosting for my own sites as well as client sites, that is easy to setup, easy to maintain, backed up and secure, and integrates with my local development software...which they make, so it does! (Local is actually how I found Flywheel)

Infrastructure, integration, and support. We use their Local by Flywheel for local development, we have quick and Magic Sync deployments at our fingertips. This setup allows for flexible single and multiple developer workflows.

They currently don't offer HTTPS on staging domains. That's about the only complaint I have. It would be nice to eventually be able to integrate a deployment directly from a repo like Bitbucket, Github or Gitlab.

Developer workflow and site deployment are incredibly easy on this platform. We don't have to spend any time setting up sites or worrying about deployments. Both take less than five minutes. We also now have one click SSL installation, easy domain mapping, and quick support.
