Awesome for hosting your WordPress website
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you know someone with some IT experience who can make sure you're taking advantage of all the tools WP Engine offers, like cache purging.

Review of working with WP Engine
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
honestly I can't think of anything off the top of my head
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You get what you pay for; I believe in paying a little bit more for hosting to ensure that my site is secure and improved.
WP Engine Revved Up Our Website!
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really, we no complaints. Wp Engine heads off problems before we are aware there was anything to be concerned with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Excellence, compromise, always doing the extra effort to solve any problem. Best technical expertise
What do you like best about the product?
The support service, both technical an commercial services are the best I´ve ever experienced in the industry.
What do you dislike about the product?
The jump from 10 to 25 users in the professional pack. I suggest there could be a more gradual offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do not hesitate to try WP ENGINE services.
Dedicated WPEngine After 3 Months
What do you like best about the product?
Dedicated Server - moved over from HostGator and the performance is much better.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing yet. More pricey than other options, but you get what you pay for which makes wpengine a good value for my purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good value despite the price. Great support when you need it. They take away the headaches of hosting so you can focus on your websites.
WP Engine review
What do you like best about the product?
The customer support is truly remarkable! During migration of my websites, it was quite intense - thankfully since the months when I started, I rarely speak to the support guys much anymore, but its b=very comforting to know they are there 24/7 as I may need them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really - after many hosting provider relationships, this is where I will stay.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have some customised software that was built in Wordpress - before switching to WP Engine, I was convinced it required an entire rebuild. After the switch it purred like a kitten ;)
Pricey, but well worth it for the right site/client
What do you like best about the product?
WP Engine is stable, fast and secure - which arguably are the three most important attributes in picking a hosting provider.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed stable, fast and secure hosting. Got all three.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your site needs the security, reliability and speed that WP Engine provides, and the monthly fee is within your budget, by all means go for it - provided that your plugins and other web services are allowed on the WP Engine platform - as some high profile plugins aren't.
WPEngine is the only hosting company I recommend anymore.
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They may be a little more expensive, but in the hosting world, you get what you pay for. With WPEngine, you get a LOT for what you pay for.
Indispensable Business Partner
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have yet to experience major difficulties with WP Engine, which is one of the reasons why we recommend them so highly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We'd advise that you go through a trial period with WP Engine, you will find that its intuitive platform is easy to use and it's a good value for the investment. The more sites you manage, the more value you'll get from your investment in WP Engine.
