WP Engine

WPEngine supports the hosting of over 7,000 sites for a variety of law firms in the United States for our company. WPEngine allows us to concentrate on design and digital marketing while they handle the management of the WordPress service for us. This includes the hardware and the WordPress install itself as they handle major, minor, and security upgrades to WordPress. In addition, they have an expert technician dedicated to our enterprise account that not only assists in the debugging of core WordPress issues but has been invaluable in debugging issues in plugins we have implemented and issues in our code performance.

• Support/Uptime
• Flexibility in hosting solutions depending on size of Install
• Integrated APM with New Relic
• Dedicated Technical Account Manager for Enterprise

• Reduced need to maintain owned Data Center

WP Engine filled the void for our immediate need for managed WordPress hosting. The support was lackluster at best. A few MySQL server outages were not noticed by their proactive monitoring. A handful of downtimes due to server outages and migrations outside their data center also occurred. Their best features were the backups and staging, which we often used. Support also tried to upsell us and tell us that their dedicated plans would be more stable and reliable, but I don't think it would've helped as much as they promised.

Pantheon, Linode, Flywheel

Hosting websites + website support, backing up sites, copying between production and staging environments on a regular basis, upgrading PHP versions, and consolidating a number of websites into one host platform. We also love the ability to jump right into the WP admin view from within our hosting platform. Their "go live checklist" feature was very useful when originally building our site.

• Website backups
• Frequent copying of environments to one another

• Simplified web hosting
• Quick upgrading of sites

Google AdSense, Facebook Business Manager, WordPress

I've tried on most of the website hosting companies, and several years ago, I moved ALL my clients to WP Engine. By far, they are the best company to host a WordPress website, and I won't use anyone else. I know my stuff when it comes to WordPress, but every once in a while, I get stumped. Their tech support is always easy to reach and takes care of it every time. They're tightly integrated with Cloudflare, which helps to make my clients' sites safe from hackers and speeds them up at the same time.

• Security
• Caching and Speed
• Technical Support

• Combining Cloudflare with the WP Engine platform as well as their anti-hacker tools as well as my own has meant that none of my clients have ever been hacked. This is critical for my clients.
