WP Engine Blows the Competitors Out of the Water
Overall Satisfaction with WP Engine
I've tried on most of the website hosting companies, and several years ago, I moved ALL my clients to WP Engine. By far, they are the best company to host a WordPress website, and I won't use anyone else. I know my stuff when it comes to WordPress, but every once in a while, I get stumped. Their tech support is always easy to reach and takes care of it every time. They're tightly integrated with Cloudflare, which helps to make my clients' sites safe from hackers and speeds them up at the same time.

- Plugin Management
- They recently switched from using the .htaccess file to using Web Rules in the console. The Web Rules give me a lot of power, but this has made me do quite a bit of extra work to make sure that the .htaccess security rules are properly implemented in the Web Rules, which isn't for the faint of heart. This also crippled the functionality of the security plug-in that I use.

- Combining Cloudflare with the WP Engine platform as well as their anti-hacker tools as well as my own has meant that none of my clients have ever been hacked. This is critical for my clients.
There's absolutely no comparison between the other companies and WP Engine. WP Engine is far superior in all ways. Every time I do a security audit on a potential client's website, I can tell right away that it's on an overloaded server at one of the competitors. The first thing I recommend is to switch hosting companies to WP Engine.
