Overall Satisfaction with WP Engine
We were looking for a better way to manage the hosting of our website and WP Engine was recommended to us. I wouldn't want to use anything else. It is easy to use and has great tools and features built in, such as free SSL certificates, website backup, caching, redirects, and it even gives us the ability to use a staging site within WordPress. The ability to integrate with WordPress is another great advantage of using WP Engine. Their support team is great and can be answered easily via phone or chat.
- Website backup - before I update any plugins in WordPress, I have the ability to back up our website in case something goes wrong. That way, if the plugin update breaks anything, I can revert back to the previous snapshot of our website and nothing has been lost.
- SSL certificate - WP Engine provides free SSL certificates for your site that auto renew. Just set it and forget it.
- Redirects - you can easily manage all of your 301 and 302 redirects in WP Engine.
- Site performance reports - These are great and allow you to see if there are any issues with your website so you can optimize further.
- I've honestly had no issues with WP Engine, so there are no cons!
- We realized our ROI within the first month. The ability to have our site hosted on a secure server where we don't have to worry about vulnerabilities is great. Being able to manage it in-house is even better!
Prior to WP Engine, we had an off-site consultant hosting our site. It was terribly inconvenient and counterproductive. We selected WP Engine because the platform is intuitive and the price is very reasonable. I've never used another hosting service, so I can't speak to how they stack up against the competition.
