WP Engine

We use WP Engine as our primary host for our website and for many of our client websites as well. We are an agency partner and work closely alongside them to provide the best quality WordPress hosting with a fully managed service that provides best-in-class security and performance, along with great support.

• WP Engine provides worry free maintenance and security solutions due to their managed service reducing overhead on managing servers.
• WP Engine offers solutions for automating a lot of maintenance tasks that would normally require a development team to accomplish, reducing the hours needed to support a site.
• WP Engine makes site transfers and migrations a breeze by all of their built in tools. Tasks that would take significantly longer on other platforms take a lot less time on WP Engine.
• WP Engine's local development software saves time on setting up local environments for developers.

WP Engine is used to host our two websites (and sub-domains) across Australia and South-East Asia. Not only does WP Engine provide hosting services, but WP Engine also acts as a daily backup point, redirection and caching

As an agency, we build websites of all page counts and complexities for our customers, ranging from single-page promotion sites and complex multipage e-commerce or transactional sites. After having some site security issues with another hosting provider, we needed a secure, well-supported solution for our high-end e-commerce sites. We also did not have the resources to manage the full setup and server maintenance ourselves, as with an AWS solution. Since the sites were built in WordPress, we considered WP Engine among others. We were able to meet with them to explain what we needed, and they worked out an affordable package for our company.

• For the most part, having stability and security for our e-commerce website, customers has resulted in higher overall customer satisfaction for those in this category.
• The managed server environment meant that we did not have to invest in our own technical team just to keep the infrastructure running.
• Unfortunately, the current legal issue affected a few customers, which caused some dissatisfaction before it could be rectified. There is a concern that this could happen again before the issue is resolved.

WP Engine was used to host our WooCommerce website but costs got extremely expensive and we had no visibility because WP Engine was managed hosting.

• Moved away from WP Engine due to cost for ecommerce
• Fine for small websites
