User Testimonials
	Flywheel	Rackspace Email
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	Rackspace If you need a trusted email hosting platform, Rackspace is definitely the way to go. Not only is it simple to use, but the help they're willing to provide is also outstanding. Whether you're upgrading (or even downgrading) a service, or have concerns over any use cases, they're great at providing assistance and being diligent to understand your needs. If you only require a simple email for only a few people, it may not be the way to go, but it's hard to beat the price they offer (and the clarity on that pricing as well).

Pros	WP Engine Customer Service User Interface User Experience Creative Support Incentivized Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Read full review	Rackspace Racksapce is quick and helpful when contacted for support. Rackspace is easy to set up and run on various email clients. The service is affordable and compares well with any similar services. It has a nice admin panel which is easy to follow and understand.

Cons	WP Engine Flywheel is more expensive than many hosting companies Incentivized Duncan McMillan Director Read full review	Rackspace Ticket system - For the most part, it's fine, but you have to log in to see the ticket/case messages. The email notification only lets you know you have a message. Login speed - It takes a bit longer than what most users would like to login to the admin panel. Clicks to control panel - The default screen is the ticket screen. I would prefer the home page immediately include a method to get to my admin tools beyond ticket creation.

Support Rating	WP Engine No answers on this topic	Rackspace Honestly, if it wasn't for the way in which ticket updates are shared, it would be a ten. They provide excellent support, from sales to technical to even migration services. I've always gotten my questions answered clearly, by someone who is human. If answers were displayed via email as well, rather than just a notice that I needed to login to see a message, it would be even better.

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.

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	Rackspace We have had little disruption with our emails. I can think of only one problem in the last three years. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
