An ideal platform for WordPress & Drupal websites with continous growth
Overall Satisfaction with Pantheon
Pantheon is our no. 1 recommendation for serious WordPress hosting. Since we only work on WordPress, we have over the years tested, used, and moved on from many platforms. Unlike most hosting providers that give better resources for bigger plans, Pantheon maintains a high standard across all its plans. It is a platform as a service with Dev - Test - Live workflow that ensures each environment is not just user friendly but extremely developer-friendly as well. For most organizations running publicly accessible websites, these are extremely important points. How do you improve the website without upsetting the marketing department or the teams managing the content? Pantheon is your answer to both.
Pros
- Website code management.
- Workflows for site management.
- Hosting infrastructure.
Cons
- Pricing w.r.t. sites that have more users than corresponding page views.
- Live Sites going idle in 24 hours instead of 72 for instance.
- Pantheon allows ordinary sites to excel esp if there is consistent development going on behind the scenes.
- Website management is super easy and the hosting fee gets paid off as you save on developer hours.
- Expensive for those who are not consistently developing on the platform, there are other options out there at better price points.
A lot of the other providers on this list are different from each other with very different target audiences. The only thing Pantheon can compare with is managed WordPress hosting, WordPress-related support, and hosting on Google Compute Engine. Pantheon wins hands down in DevOps. The amount of website management that can be done by non-developers via the platform alone is unbelievable and no other managed hosting comes close to it.
