Well suited:
- Smaller independent page/content hosting
- Working with 3rd parties on shared projects without exposing them to internal tools and workflows.

Not Well Suited:
- More custom large scale applications with connected pages.
- Large content that is delivered through out automated pipelines. We do not use WordPress API.

At this moment in time, WordPress VIP is excellent for large, enterprise organizations looking to use WordPress as their CMS. The legacy trust issues around WordPress are dispelled when using WordPress VIP and it provides a true enterprise service with excellent infrastructure, performance, and protection. As the cost of licenses for established enterprises, CMS continues to increase and without justification through additional functionality, WordPress is being adopted more often and with VIP you have the perfect package for hosting an enterprise website.

I would say it is less appropriate for 5-15 person organizations where there are no technical contacts and organizations where go to live speed is the most important feature. Since GitHub deployment is being utilized at WordPress VIP, it might take a bit longer to deploy new features.

Regarding their competitors, VIP is really suitable for larger clients with more demanding technical needs. Performance doesn't drop no matter the size of the project. Not thinking about downtime or performance dropping allows you to focus on other aspects of your role and deliver overall higher quality to your clients in larger projects.

When we are dealing with clients at a certain level, they look for confidence in the solution's security and the power to achieve high levels of scalability. From a new-biz standpoint, WordPress VIP has the reputation and stats to reassure clients and bolster proposals from our side as an agency.

WordPress VIP really changed the game when it comes to WordPress CMS and Content Management. A one-stop shop for all our client's business needs. We are focusing on Content Management instead of technicalities. The big advantage is the security features covering all recent vulnerabilities that any WordPress developer/user wastes lots of precious time fixing/updating. Performance-wise, WordPress VIP is definitely up there. We’ve been doing lots of optimization work over the last few years. Every client wants to score 100. With WordPress VIP we decreased the time spent on optimization significantly and now feel confident with taking more performance optimisation work than we did before. Lastly, maybe the most important for every business is the support quality. WordPress VIP runs a superb support team with phenomenal knowledge and expertise. Quick to respond and solves issues here and now. It is definitely recommended.

It is definitely appropriate for big projects or the ones that will likely grow fast. Projects that want a reliable service to back them up. Not that much for smaller organisations that would probably not find a balance between all the services WordPress VIP offers and the amount of the bill at the end of the month.

With an enterprise-level organisation in mind with a lot of content, there can be no doubt that WordPress VIP is well suited. As mentioned, it isn't a low-cost option, but it is well worth it, and if you do need to flag anything with the team, they are great people to deal with and go above and beyond to elevate your experience.

WordPress VIP, for sure, is not for everyone. Small companies with relatively low traffic or ones that do not plan to go viral will probably find a good enough partner for less money. However, if you lead an enterprise with millions of page views or plan to go viral in the future - WordPress VIP has all you will ever need to seamlessly do so.

From my experience, WPVIP is best suited for the larger end of S&B sector and definitely the enterprise sector. When a customer is less sensitive to price, and is looking for a reliable solution with fist rate support, WPVIP is a great choice. It is also a perfect solution for companies that are aggressively growing or expanding to new countries/markets. WPVIP has a large network of partners to enable business growth and improve market penetration.

Well suited for high-scale businesses with a huge amount of traffic on a daily basis. Not so much for small businesses due to its pricing, sites with not so many visits daily, or if you want to have full control of your site.

Our enterprise-size clients have benefited greatly from content optimization and analysis. This is particularly true of our news media clientele, who rely heavily on up-to-date data. However, WordPress VIP has proved to be cumbersome for our smaller clients; it's just too much for a small site. But that being said, for clients on the verge of growth, WordPress VIP proves to be a valuable tool in terms of scaling.

If you have a small development team and you depend on the web for your business, you have to have a trusted managed host for your site. No more late-night messages that your site is down so you can sleep soundly.

WordPress VIP is well suited for your organization if you have more than one site to manage and do not have a dedicated team of developers and engineers that can maintain WordPress and its hosting platform. In my experience, smaller businesses can get away with managing WordPress without these kinds of teams, but at an enterprise level, there is a multitude of scenarios where a full team would be required to maintain and manage multiple websites. A small to medium-size business managing one website would have no need for WordPress VIP.
