WP Engine Reviews & Product Details

I love everything about this service; everything from their lighting fast support, to the tools they offer for users of their service. First the support, if you ever have an issue, which I rarely do ( and most of the time I have a question about something I need to do) they are there within seconds to help you and or answer any question you might have. Second the tools, if you have ever worked with WordPress, you know how important it is to make backups of your websites. WP Engine has tools in place that will automatically backup your website multiple times. You can also initiate a backup. You can deploy your website into staging with the click of a button to test before you deploy. You get free SSL certs for every website, for FREE. It is the best money I have spent.

I have been using their service for the past year and a half and I have yet to find something I dislike about their service.

We solved the frequent and sluggish performance we were experiencing with other hosting providers. WP Engine offers superior hosting for WordPress and it is lighting fast and secure..

Beyond making hosting and management of our website simple, WP Engine's platform has allowed us to significantly optimize our website in terms of load time, content quality and user experience.

Minor issues may arise from the security standards of WP Engine's storage; however, I have not encountered any problems that could not be reasonably overcome.

We moved my company's website from self-hosting in AWS to WP Engine in order to remove resource burden from the IT department. WP Engine has performed well, and has created a self-service environment for marketing to plan and implement website changes and optimization.

Daily backups, best is business malware monitoring

No email hosting, you will need to get Google Mail or Outlook hosted solutions

Instant restore of a website is very easy.

Out of all of the features WP Engine offers, hands down my favorite is the git integration. Allowing things to be version controlled is of upmost importance. And then to one up that, version controlling multiple environments (staging/production) makes me day-to-day much more headache free.

Haven't really run into anything that I didn't like.

Wordpress hosting for our website and all associated files.

WP-Engine is incredibly easy to use and setup. They have a website migration tool that automates the process of moving from your old server to the new WP-Engine server.

I'm a customer for more than 2 years and I am yet to have a complaint about the WP-Engine platform. Great support and a rock-solid system that just works.

I am a WordPress theme developer and I host my various themes and plugins on a WP-Engine Multisite network. I receive 40k+ visits per month and all sites perform perfectly.

I love the auto backups, the staging area and the support. All are very easy to work with. I have been working with word press since version 1 something. WP Engine saves me a ton of time. I have also never had an issue with security. I have used and still use other hosts but will switch them all to WP Engine when I can. The interface is easy to work with and tech support has always gone above and beyond to figure out any issues.

The Plugin restrictions are a minor inconvenience. I understand the purpose and have to agree.

I am operating an E-commerce site on WP Engine.

“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

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.

- 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.

Big fan of WPEngine, we have hundred of client sites running on our WPE. High performance (sites can handle 100s of visitors at once without causing issues), staging site saves our developers so many hours of time, site migration plugin makes moving sites easy, support is responsive and 24/7.

We have run into issues where WPE causes double indexing which makes our SEO very poorly. We realized this quickly. Sometimes support isn't very helpful. They blame developers instead of their system. It takes a couple times to get through with them. Besides that it is a great choice. Mainly for the fact of the staging site feature.

We create Wordpress sites mainly. We needed to cut down on some hours so using WPE saved us hundreds of hours by using the staging site feature. That benefit itself is incredible.

The best feature about WPEngine is the built-in one-click staging environment for every site that is hosted on my server. It has saved hours of time and is a real game changer for our business. We also love the support provided by the support team - it's brilliant and almost always able to fix the problem we are having.

1) The lack of 24/7 live chat. Being based in the UK we don't have any access to live chat for most of our working day and calling a USA phone number is costly. 2) the inability to change site name/site url from the WPE dashboard. When we create a new install there should be a box to re-name the WP site and tagline rather than making it the default one everytime. 3) the long way of having to change password for each new install via the 'lost password' function rather than being able to set it in the new installation box. 4) not being able to create a staging area from the WPE dashboard, instead having to login to the site each time.

We help businesses maintain their WordPress websites. We have realized many benefits of using WPEngine to host those websites including automatic WP core updates, backups, staging area for testing updates and of course the amazing support from your engineers to help fix problems on some of these websites.

While it's easy to get WordPress setup on almost any host/server, WP Engine is designed from the ground up to help WordPress developers. Even better, there support team is full of WordPress experts that are quick to help anytime an issue arrises.

At first, the price of the service was somewhat "scary". It's much more expensive that a traditional "shared hosting" - however, after using WP Engine for a couple of weeks, you will quickly realize it is much more than just another web host - WP Engine is a hosting platform built for WordPress.

Have you ever had a client website go down over the weekend - or even worse, stay down for an entire weekend? It's not a fun issue to explain to a client and can literally take money out of your pocket. With WP Engine, we no longer worry about those types of issues.

Exceptional Performance: WPEngine consistently delivers blazing-fast website performance, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable user experience for visitors. The platform's comprehensive security measures provide peace of mind, with automatic updates, daily backups, and proactive threat detection keeping your website safe and sound. WPEngine's support team stands out with their expertise and responsiveness. Whether it's a technical hiccup or a general inquiry, their support is reliable and efficient. The intuitive dashboard and user interface make managing your WordPress site a breeze. It's perfect for both beginners and seasoned developers, streamlining the process of site maintenance. WPEngine easily scales to accommodate growing website needs. With reliable hosting infrastructure, your site can handle increased traffic without sacrificing speed or performance.

While the quality of service justifies the cost, some users may find WPEngine's pricing a bit on the higher side, especially for smaller websites or individuals on a tight budget.

WP Engine, with its cutting-edge technology and optimized hosting environment, has significantly addressed this problem. Our website now boasts lightning-fast loading speeds, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for our visitors. This has not only improved user satisfaction but has also contributed to a notable boost in our search engine visibility

Easy to use, has plenty of features, and provides good customer support.

It's expensive compared to less established alternatives. It has certain tech limitations (e.g., for some plug-ins) which can hinder performance.

Provides reliable, secure hosting for our websites. Provides backup, SSL certificates, CDN, domain mapping, staging/dev environments, and more.

WPEngine makes managing hosting environments for Wordpress both intuitive and user friendly for developers. They have managed to streamline the most important features and tools that get used on a daily basis while still allowing granular control of technical settings, and very high quality customer technical support when needed.

I do wish there were a lower price point option for sites that don't require a lot of bandwidth or resources to operate. If there were, I would probably use WPEngine for smaller client builds more often, instead of utilizing a smaller, more budget-friendly hosting platform.

WPEngine's servers very rarely have issues with performance or downtime, which prevents our agency from having to spend time troubleshooting/debugging issues that arise.

Its quick and easy to use. Updates are seamless. Migrations are easy. The best platform for multiple staging sites and diagnostics.

I have found that when applying updates in the dev site any new data that has come through the production site is lost through that short period. For example we lost a claim submission and the client did not follow up for two weeks and was not too impressed we had no details of the claim.

WP Engine is a secure system that manages our staging, dev and prod sites. I feel confident we will have minimal issues with this hosting platform.

Great basic hosting plus added services like the Smart Plugin Manager which are really useful.

The support is not as good as it used to be.

Allows my clients - small businesses - the ability to perform managed hosting with a dedicated employee involved.

Able to see everything in one dashboard. Works so I can simply log in and update everything at once rather than keeping hundreds of usernames and passwords on sticky notes around my office.

The initial setup of everything wasn't as easy as I would've liked, but still very intuitive all things considered.

Keeping all of my sites organized, up to date, compliant, and top of mind. Without this program I would surely forget about some backburner sites we tend to.
