Flywheel is amazing for hosting Wordpress sites - that's all they do, and they do it well. Their setup is fast, secure, and easy to use. And their customer support is second to none. An amazing company to work with. We're happy to be customers.

Compared to WP Engine and Pantheon, Flywheel offers the most affordable and easy-to-use managed hosting platform for WordPress websites. I actually prefer Flywheel's UI a bit more to WP Engine's. Media Temple simply doesn't offer an affordable hosting option that particularly caters to WordPress websites. Flywheel has become my favorite among managed hosting platforms that are targeted on servicing WordPress developers.
