User Testimonials
	Flywheel	IONOS Hosting
Likelihood to Recommend	WP Engine Flywheel is particularly well-suited for hands-on WordPress managed hosting. It's also perfect for developers who build site's locally on Local and then want an effortless way to import them into their managed hosting environment. Flywheel particularly excels in scenarios where a customer needs managed. WordPress hosting that handles daily backups and offers test and live environments for a reasonable price. Incentivized Jennifer Blair Creative Director and Owner Read full review	IONOS, Inc I run five websites off of 1&1 for different outshoots of the company. For our web needs it works perfectly. We have a midgrade hosting package and it works perfectly. I know if issues arose from traffic or storage space 1&1 would have a solution for us. Incentivized Emily P Senior Internet Marketing Coordinator Read full review
Pros	WP Engine Customer Service User Interface User Experience Creative Support Incentivized Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Read full review	IONOS, Inc Private registration: 1&1 offers free private registration which makes them an automatic favorite. Reliable customer service: always someone available when I call in and I have never had my issue not get resolved. Easy to use dashboard: domains in one place with DNS settings and other things that can be tweaked. It's easy to add an SSL certificate to domains as well. Incentivized Ruby Javaid Chief Designer Read full review
Cons	WP Engine Flywheel is more expensive than many hosting companies Incentivized Duncan McMillan Director Read full review	IONOS, Inc From my experience, customer services does not know how to address issues in an understandable language I feel that they arbitrarily overcharge w/o any explanation In my opinion it is really pricey Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Reliability and Availability	WP Engine No answers on this topic	IONOS, Inc In over 8 years of operations, we have not had a single outage that affected us. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	WP Engine No answers on this topic	IONOS, Inc The email system has not impeded out mail flow in any way, and we do not notice the delays we sometimes see with other systems that include spam/junk mail filtering. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	WP Engine 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. Incentivized Jennifer Blair Creative Director and Owner Read full review	IONOS, Inc Rackspace I find to be too pricey for the service they offer. Pagely is very much WordPress oriented. I've had downtime with both that I haven't experienced with 1&1. Incentivized Emily P Senior Internet Marketing Coordinator Read full review
Scalability	WP Engine No answers on this topic	IONOS, Inc The scalability of the email solution far exceeds our needs and would be suitable for organizations not looking for an enterprise sized multipurpose solution (O365, Google Workspace, etc). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	WP Engine Fast/easy to create new sites with blueprints Easy to work locally with Local Incentivized Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Read full review	IONOS, Inc 1&1 host our email and domains adequately. We can easily add and remove emails as needed. 1&1 also works with our website platform, Memberclicks. Incentivized Elaine Truesdale Founder Read full review
