Dedicated Server - moved over from HostGator and the performance is much better.
Nothing yet. More pricey than other options, but you get what you pay for which makes wpengine a good value for my purposes.
Running 50+ lead gen sites. Need secure setup with solid performance. WPEngine has provided that. Much less maintenance required on my part than I had to deal with with other hosts.
WP Engine is stable, fast and secure - which arguably are the three most important attributes in picking a hosting provider.
In order to achieve that stable, fast and secure environment, they do limit site owners from installing certain plugins that WPE determines will place an undue strain or weakness on their system. These are not fringe plugins, but mainstream plugins like UpdraftPlus. It is vital before initiating a migration to WPE or starting a new site, that you confirm plugins or other site features are allowed on the WPE platform.
Needed stable, fast and secure hosting. Got all three.
WPEngine's 24 hour support chat is one of the best support features they have. It's also great because there's very rarely any wait time to get a hold of someone. Their support staff is very knowledgeable and can help in almost any situation. Their Wordpress hosting is fast, easy and contains many incredible features and they have the best migration tools around.
Every know and then you get a support person who isn't as helpful as one would like. This is fairly rare though as mostly they are incredibly responsive (and people have bad days sometimes).
I owned and managed my own hosting company for 11 years and once I extricated myself from that, I needed to find a place to host client websites. I would occasionally refer people to some of the cheap, bulk hosting companies that would be ok for a while, but then the sites would be so incredibly slow! In terms of cheap hosting, you typically get what you pay for. When I found WPEngine, I stopped sending clients to other hosting companies and now manage them on my Pro account which gives me much better control over my clients projects.
Excellent user interface allows us to seamlessly manage multiple client accounts. Also, WP Engine's customer service is fast and helpful, and they are a terrific value for the service they provide.
We have yet to experience major difficulties with WP Engine, which is one of the reasons why we recommend them so highly.
We are helping a variety of clients with supported WordPress hosting solutions. Thanks to WP Engine's robust infrastructure, we are able to ensure the integrity and security of our clients' online data assets.
It doesnt get better than wpengine when youre looking to host your wordpress website. They make it easy to access all of your files, set up your website, and take care of all of your plugins.
I dont really have anything that stands out to me about disliking wpengine but the only thing I wish that we had access to was the files in the backend, being able to go through a file tree and see all of the wp-content and other files would be very helpful.
We built a wordpress website for a client and using wpengine made it as easy as signing up, purchasing a plan, and setting it up within an afternoon of talking back and forth with our client.
First of all, they are based in Austin. That's a win for me. I know most companies in Austin have incredible employees and they obviously do. Their support is impeccable. They fix issues extremely quickly and are so easy to talk to. Understanding and ready to help. Hosting has never been an issue with our big network.
Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say about WP Engine. Great hosting, great support, great everything.
Business problem: hosting with good support. Benefits: quick response time, massive hosting opportunities and easy to work with
I love that WP Engine has 24 hour customer support. I especially love that I can work on a site any time of day and have some one to chat with whenever I need it! They also help me with issues that are not even related to them!
The price is a little steep but very much worth it. It would be nice if you were to add installs as you need them. They allow you 10 installs and the next package jumps to 25 installs.
I am able to manage websites for my clients on a safe server. WP Engine can also fix any problem that may arise any time of the day and you don't have to wait hours!
- great speed - powerfull security - professional WordPress support - a little time waiting for the connection agent online chat - a great affiliate program
For me personally, a big gap between the Personal and the Professional hosting plan. If one more intermediate plan: up to 5 installs. Between 1 and 10 installs long distance. But it is a wish :)
Great opportunity staging website, easy to use daily backup, competent and attentive support.
Ease of installation. Awesome customer service.
Price. Additionally, I was able to intuitively use WP Engine to create a full-fledged website, but I would have appreciated a step-by-step tutorial as well.
E-commerce website.
The increase speed of our WordPress website which had become slow. The staging area so that updates and changes can be made quickly and easily. The support and guidance is second to non. Truly first class poduct and support designed for WordPress.
The price is more expensive than the average host, however for the support, and extra that you get for this price it is more than worth it. You will need an specialist to set up your migration so that it runs correctly.
Slow web site, affecting google rankings with the change in criteria. The opportunity to change the site and update without having down time or maintenance.
