Singluar focus on WordPress, nice simple administration UI and continuous improvement.
It' more expensive than many other options, but ultimately for good reason so I don't mind the extra cost.
My website is a revenue producing site, so uptime and performance are critical. WP Engine is fast and super stable (I've had no downtime in the 3+ years I've been with WP Engine that I'm aware of) so I've never had to worry about the site performance.
The ease of use to set up and maintain. The amazing customer service with great customer support people. The fact that the site is secure because it's maintained by professionals without having to pay for a professional full-time myself!
The fact that I don't have root access to my server to install some custom things.. but if I did, then the site would not be as secure and most likely not as fast, so it's a tradeoff I'm willing to live with!
WPEngine allows me to build and maintain a solid website that is becoming a social network with users able to share and comment on the news media and political landscape and WPEngine allows me to pull all of this off very inexpensively!
Excellent support which is professional, fast and reliable is where WP Engine excels. Comibined with a great user interface, great uptime (99,99%) and competitive pricing makes WPE the perfect choice for our business.
It's hard to pinpoint a dislike, we've been over the moon with WPE so far.
WP Engine solved all problems surrounding hosting Wordpress sites. Hosting Wordpress sites is a very specialized sector of hosting websites as WP sites need to be constantly watched for security updates. WP Engine simplify that process immensely as well as providing excellent support and of course the most important factor, great uptime.
The support service, both technical an commercial services are the best I´ve ever experienced in the industry.
The jump from 10 to 25 users in the professional pack. I suggest there could be a more gradual offer.
Full managed Wordpress web hosting, with the highest security and performance for the websites, and the best technical expertise to back me and my customers. I can focus on my business and what I do better, relying on the knowledge, expertise and best practices of WP ENGINE.
After many years of trying a variety of hosts for WordPress sites (and a lot of problems), I am relieved to have found WP Engine. It is dead simple to use and ideal for anyone hosting WordPress websites. Not only is the speed amazing, but they specialize in Wordpress, eliminating a lot of common problems when setting up installations. Oh, and the support is quick to respond and highly skilled/technical. I've spoken to support I believe two times total, and every time they were quick to respond and very knowledgeable.
It's not the most frugal of solutions, but it's not crazy either. Let's just say I have tried many hosts, and with WP Engine, you get what you pay for. The reward is high-quality dedicated hosting and superb support.
WP Engine makes WordPress sites lightning fast. The regular backups are nice, and I never run into any issues with installation or plugins.
“WP Engine has hands down the most intuitive back-end to work with. It doesn't take a Full Stack Developer anymore to set up or manage an install, everyone in the office can do it. The features bundled with the hosting services are uncompared, our websites are faster than ever without too much hassle! On top of that, the client support is made of people who love WordPress as much as we do and they actually care about our installs when we ask for help.”
To be honest, they are one-step ahead of everything we have the chance to experienced in the past. Before WPEngine, I thought having a In-House Hosting Expert would be necessary, not anymore.
- Having a Staging Environment - Backup Everyday - Fast Hosting - Great Support
I love having a staging site so I can work on website changes and test them before pushing live. I also love having the ability to not only back up our live site, but also our staging site. This comes in handy especially when I'm updating plugins and may not be 100% sure they will work properly after making the updates. The products and services provided are well worth the $99/month we pay.
Nothing I can think of! I've had a couple of instances where the support techs weren't as helpful as they could have been, but overall I love WP Engine.
We needed a better way to host our website and someone recommended WP Engine to us. WP Engine makes it so easy to create 301 redirects, back up our site so we don't lose anything valuable, and now they offer free SSL certificates! Score!
The Metrics and info that we recieved from the service
Non having the info in spanish for the non english users
Downloads times , content management
We've been on WP Engine for 3 years now. Before switching, our site was slow and was regularly hacked. It was incredibly frustrating. Since we made the switch to WP Engine, our site is always up and running -fast! And since switching, we have not been hacked. They are constantly working on our behalf to make sure our site is safe, speed-optimized and updated.
Really, we no complaints. Wp Engine heads off problems before we are aware there was anything to be concerned with.
We're an interior design firm. Our website is our primary touch point and photo heavy. If our photos lack resolution or load slowly, people leave our site. We've not had that problem since we've been on WP Engine.
I love that it's easy to get in touch with someone whenever I need help, and they're incredibly knowledgeable. They've also made suggestions and given me tips to improve my page speed and security, which in turn has helped me improve my SEO efforts and traffic.
honestly I can't think of anything off the top of my head
The benefits I've realized is faster loading times on my website, which is incredibly important for SEO and for keeping people on your website. As a blogger, I need to try to get people to stay on my website and check out other blog posts.
