"A hosting platform to increase your business performance within a highly secured environment."
What do you like best about WP Engine?

We have managed to get increased revenue with an enhanced audience across all our social channels. I can not resist but say that this product has been the best choice that we have made since we started our business. It has given us all control over our security management by allowing us to constantly monitor our security preferences to eliminate any potential risks. We benefit mostly by using a variety of WP plug-ins.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Its prices could be unaffordable for some small businesses. It sometimes is not so efficient with notifications to all of our team members and sometimes we get delayed emails. But I do not consider these minor issues as a setback for this amazing platform.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

I believe that I have chosen the best marketing companion for me and my marketing team. It has allowed us a robust environment of speedy hosting with perfect hosting tools pane which is always getting more and more improved. We are at flexibility to manage and scale our hosting capabilities to comply with the growth in our web traffic. Our system never goes low on system resources because of its built-in caching feature.

"Simply the Best for WordPress Hosting"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WPEngine has the most awesome support staff - they always resolve the question or issue and it does not matter what time of day, I get the same great support. WPEngine has all the tools you need - staging and development sites, access to your database with phpMyAdmin (how can hosting companies not offer that -- but they do!) The process to migrate a site is dead simple.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Some people complain about the costs but not me! The price you pay for hosting is more than made up by savings for developers needed to resolve hosting issues -- because you do not have any hosting issues! No unexplained 503 errors, no hosting company jumping in behind your back and blocking users. Even when you exceed your storage allotment, they work with you instead of shutting your site off. ALL of these issues, I have with other hosting companies.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Multiple environments mean I can test and develop without impacting my sites in production. I moved several sites from a VPS hosting situation where high-dollar developers where needed to address VPS issues -- often issues not in our control. Nothing like that with WP Engine. They have automated processes to use a CDN for image delivery -- critical for the businesses I support.

"Easy to Manage WordPress backup tool"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I love the integration WP Engine has with Wordpress. Every time I go to make a plugin or theme update it reminds/asks me if I want to backup first. This helps me make time-critical updates.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Not often, but I have occasionally had to wait in a short queue waiting for a support member to handle my inquiry. When they have assisted me, they were always great and resolved my questions.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine allows to schedule automatic backups and take manual ones whenever necessary.

"Excellent Customer Service. Fantastic Host"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Ease of signup. The backend is very easy to use, even if you're not tech-savvy. The server uptime is amazing.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Sales folks can be a bit pushy at first, but they are very helpful.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

We switched hosts to WPEngine as our old web host was having up-time issues and was unable or unwilling to resolve the issue. WPEngine also offers more hands-on service tailored to WordPress which was important to us.

"Awesome Support and Website Performance"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

We used to use Hostgater, which was a nightmare due to very poor support and at one point they even shut down our site due to some technical issue. Moved to WP Engine and it's been an awesome experience,

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Only one bad experience when a new support person answered on a weekend. Even that wasn't very bad!

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Website performance, reliability, and super strong technical support.

"Best web hosting for Wordpress Website"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I love how easy and simple WP Engine is to use. They have so many useful tools that they offer like automatic backups and instant recovery from a backup that just makes this a must use web hosting client for people using wordpress sites. They also have a really solution for creating and testing changes on a staging site so you dont have to push major updates to your main site which could cause problems. They're servers and settings are optimized for Wordpress so you wont have any issues with that. They're online support is very helpful and fast.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The service is going to be a little pricier than your generic web hosting plans like godaddy but you'll have way less headaches than dealing with other hosts like that.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having the staging site has been great for testing major site updates. I love the auto updates of the WordPress version for our sites and how it checks to make sure that the updates won't adversely affect your site.

"Best WordPress Hosting of All times"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

The user-friendly interface and the faster loading times are one of the best things I like about WP Engine. Through the WP Engine servers, my WordPress website runs quickly and smoothly. The support team is very knowledgeable, and I always get instant feedback whenever I have technical issues. One can easily contact them through their live chat. WP Engine allows me to see live traffic on my website and account data and updates are done automatically.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Their prices are on the higher side. They also have a limitation on the number of websites I can connect to my account. Similar hosting companies offer an unlimited number of websites under one account at the same pricing.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a solution that could provide backups, automated updates, and secure hosting services, and I found WP Engine. WP Engine does most of the maintenance work for my website and has freed up a lot of time, which I use to concentrate on other parts of my business. The marketing department has scaled up with hosting services from WP Engine.

"Powerful service for your wordpress website"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I have been found many websites suffering malware, this is the tip: if you can't fix the problem but only clean your website.. I'd suggest you to move to WP Engine, they can handle this issue forever.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

They should offer better rates, the cheapest one is about $35

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Security issues as malware, you know when you start adding plugins and themes... they can leave the back door open...

"Account Managers, hosting speed, support - everything is top notch"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

The Account Managers are great. I worked with my account manager Oscar Saldivar, who went out of his way to make sure he took ownership of my problems, executed with urgency and raised the bar as far as account managers go. The hosting is fast. REALLY fast. I came over from host gator and I was pleasantly surprised how fast it was. NEVER GOING BACK. Support is great. 24/7. You can easily get online and get help with anything you need.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I wish I could call in for support. Sometimes it is easier to explain what isn't working on the phone versus typing it out.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Fast hosting. My client's websites were not a tiny site by any means and WP Engine handles them no problem.
