User Testimonials
	Flywheel	IONOS Hosting
Likelihood to Recommend	Flywheel 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.

Pros	Flywheel 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.

Cons	Flywheel Flywheel is more expensive than many hosting companies Incentivized Duncan McMillan Director Read full review	IONOS, Inc Navigating some contract changes International customer careline Rowan Sampson Founder and Head of Creativity & Design Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Flywheel 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 GoDaddy users seem to have more challenges with connecting their websites to their domain and customer service. Incentivized Elaine Truesdale Founder Read full review
Return on Investment	Flywheel Fast/easy to create new sites with blueprints Easy to work locally with Local Incentivized Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Read full review	IONOS, Inc There is no downtime so we appear dependable to our customers. The cost of 1&1 is very reasonable. Incentivized Emily P Senior Internet Marketing Coordinator Read full review
