"Fast, reliable, and secure hosting for WordPress websites"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

One of the standout features of WP Engine is their excellent technical support. Whenever we have had a question or issue, the WP Engine support team has been quick to respond and provide helpful solutions. The platform is also very user-friendly and offers a variety of tools and resources to make managing a WordPress site easier. In addition to their technical support and user-friendly platform, WP Engine is highly optimized for speed and performance. Our clients' WordPress sites have experienced a noticeable improvement in load times and overall performance since switching to WP Engine.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I really don't have any dislikes. One of the things I can think of is the cost of the hosting packages. But then again, if you want premium service, you need to pay for it, so all good on that. I really don't have a problem paying a little more to get such a great and reliable service.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

BB Agency highly recommends WP Engine for WordPress hosting. WP Engine offers fast, reliable, and secure hosting for WordPress websites. Their platform is specifically designed for WordPress, which allows for seamless integration and optimization of the website.

"I sell online courses and WP Engine works great with my Wordpress site."
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Back-end staging works well and I feel like my information is safe. Has some safety features that have helped me when using conflicting plugins.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Because I am not a tech some things are hard for me to understand when making backend changes but I have had support when needed from my host.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

My web team has helped when I can't figure things out on my own.

"Nobody Does It Better"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I love everything about WP Engine! Their technology, UI, and support make them deservedly no.1 regarding WordPress hosting. The fact that WP hosting is their only business shows. I am very familiar with other WP hosts and WP Engine is and will always be my first choice. I am an affiliate and I know that my referrals will make clients happy.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

It's a small thing but I don't like the info and alert popups in the UI. That was added about 2 years ago and it is annoying and not necessary.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Just the tech support in general is so great. What ever I pay each year to WPE is worth it and then some.

A small quibble that you don't have easy access to all files like you would in c-panel but that is why they are a managed host

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Uptime, speed, reliability and the knowledge that my website is secure without resorting to various plugins.

What do you like best about WP Engine?

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Nothing I can think of. The platform is better than any other hosting platforms I've used before.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine solves the problem of bad WordPress hosting. There are so many hosting platforms out there for WordPress, and in my opinion, WP Engine stands above the rest.

"Best affordable hosting for WordPress"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Comes with multiple environments useful for testing and development. Wp cli access through ssh, free ssl certificates, automated backups, easy to sync environments

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The wait time for support has gotten longer than it used to be for live chat. The limited disk space and bandwidth has also been a problem for some of my clients

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Makes it simple to recommend clients to use wpengine, as in the end it makes my job easier as opposed to other hosting companies that do not offer the same level of service

"Best in Class Hosting & Support"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

We don't have to worry about our sites and web apps when we host with WPE. Their product performs exceptionally well. It's secure. If we need support, their team is there and ready to help (and they actually know their product). The peace of mind goes a long way. I can't imagine hosting elsewhere.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Account reps tend to move around or get promoted a lot. It can be fatiguing where we have to start over, relationally. Also, the new reps assigned to us are always eager to connect, learn more, etc. That's great -- except when you have to do it repeatedly.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WPE doesn't coast. They're always innovating. We don't have to lean on them to adopt new tech. Often, they are informing US of new products and approaches.

"Best of Class for WordPress Sites"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

With WP Engine, sites rarely go down, migration is easy, and they provide a ton of great tools for managing your sites.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

It's a little more on the pricier side compared to standard hosting packages, and bandwidth can play a larger role in your plan than you may realize.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

With tools like WP Local, WP Engine makes building and deploying sites in a consistent and controlled environment straightforward. Daily backups ensure if anything ever goes wrong, you can click a button and go back to before the issue arose.

"The gold standard in managed WordPress hosting"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

The one-click development, staging, and production environments are easy to manage. I also like the Local tool. WP Engine seems to be really invested in the developer experience and trying to improve WordPress development in general.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I wish our reps were a little more involved in our agency partnership. I've gotten a few calendar invites from them, only to have them cancel at the last minute. It makes me feel like we're not a big enough partner or something for them to care about us.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

We host 25-30 WordPress websites for our clients and internal tools. WP Engine makes the hosting and maintenance of these sites very easy. We especially like the Smart Plugin Manager so we know that our WordPress plugins are always up to date.

"WP Engine is a no-brainer for anyone who wants reliable hosting for Wordpress sites."
What do you like best about WP Engine?

The fact that WP Engine automates backups, migrations, and plugin updating allows people to focus on their business value and less on maintenance and reliability.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The only downside to WP Engine is that the pricing might be too steep for hobby level users who don't have the volume to justify all of the features that WP Engine has to offer.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Backups, Migrations, easy account transfer, uptime, whitelabeling, invoicing. All of these things are features I didn't realize I needed until I had to try to manage them myself. Then when I figured out how to do these correctly, I was thrilled to see that WP Engine was doing it for me.

"The best platform for hosting WordPress websites worry free."
What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine has flexible options that help agencies resell, scale, and receive top notch customer service. We also appreciate the tech which has provided optimal speeds for our sites as well.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

This is a little weird, but as you start to fill up dedicated servers, finding a way to affordably accommodate one or two sites as you grow your base of hosting clients can be challenging.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

They are solving the problem of needing a reliable host to accommodate multiple WordPress sites but they are also helping with their plugin update tool which helps keep the sites up to date.

"WP Engine is the only go-forward option for WordPress hosting."
What do you like best about WP Engine?

Their customer support is by far the most helpful support system I've ever used (not just hosting platforms too, any product or service.) In the decade or more that I've used WP Engine, there hasn't been a single instance where my issue didn't get resolved incredibly quickly after hopping on with their support live chat. In addition, their UI is extremely intuitive and fast, and allows me tons of freedom to set up my servers however I want.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Honestly, nothing comes to mind. They're far and away the best option for WordPress hosting, and their pricing is incredibly reasonable. Especially at the enterprise level, they're actually cheaper than many other enterprise hosting options.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Often, hosting can be a significant pain point in the website development space, requiring hours and hours of troubleshooting that wastes everyone's time and money. WP Engine has all but eliminated that problem for my business. Through their incredibly intuitive and powerful UI, I can simply and easily set up my servers however I want, create FTP accounts with robust permissions, and even set up free SSLs for my domains in minutes. And if I do happen to run into an issue, their industry-leading customer support continually blows me away with how quickly they take care of whatever hurdle is in front of me.

"I've used WPEngine for over half a decade, and they're well worth it."
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I've used WPEngine for 5 years now, and they've been one of the best and most reliable hosting companies out there. Their support is always helpful, and I rarely need to contact them more than once for an issue.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Honestly? There isn't a lot to dislike. The only thing would be they need a more in-depth usage dashboard, but they're making strides in that. I would also say having the ability to customize a new install stack would be amazing.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WPEngine solves my hosting needs for my own site as well as my clients. Their plans are generally expensive but usually well worth it, especially for high-end sites.

"Hands Down, The Best WordPress Hosting"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

From their top notch support to their rock steady servers, we've never had any issues - we continue to love and grow with the platform as a company thanks to their scalability, pricing, and future optimizations (such as Atlas).

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

For a single site, the pricing can seem high, but for an agency - it's a great value. On real room for improvement is tied to version control and GitHub integration, but this appears to be getting better in the future with their headless and Atlas builds.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scalable and high performance websites for ourselves and our clients.

"WP Engine Is the Best WordPress Web Host I've Used"
What do you like best about WP Engine?

I've used many different web hosting companies in the past, and once I experienced WP Engine, I moved ALL my clients over to them. Their platform is secure (they disallow certain plug-ins), their hosting is fast (needed to keep Google happy), and their tech support is the best I've ever experienced. I know my way around WordPress pretty well, but when I get stumped (which is rare), their support is right on it.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

They're pricier than everyone else, but you get what you pay for. I'm happy to pay the difference and refuse to use any other hosting company.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine has provided the solution to many issues I've had with other hosting companies in the past: web server speed, security and tech support that is available 24x7.
