WP Engine Reviews & Product Details

WP Engine is the company that we recommend and have used with success for over 10 years now. WP Engine prides itself on being one of the fastest hosting companies. Some of the other advantages WP Engine offers is daily time machine like backups for easy rollback or restores. They also handle all security. If your site is ever hacked they will take full responsibility and restore it at no cost. Another great features is that they offer a clone button of your live site that is copies your site to one of two staging environments. This is great for development as it create a "sandbox" site for development and testing without affecting your current, live site. Above all, their support is without parallel. They offer 24/7 chat and phone support with actual engineers who can help you with any issue you have with the site. On countless occasions they have been there to quickly help resolve any issues.

The cost can go up for higher traffic plans.

Ease of use for hosting, support, ability to create staging site all help solve development issues so we can be more productive.

Tech support is responsive and helpful. The service is very secure – none of my sites have ever been hacked on this environment, unlike with budget hosting plans.

The service is very expensive. You do not have access to C-panel or equivalent. There are limitations on site traffic and storage. You can only host Wordpress sites here.

WP Engine has saved me a great deal of time when it comes to bug fixing as support is always on hand and responsive. I don't waste time fixing hacked sites anymore.

I like to recommend WP Engine to my clients with WordPress sites, especially if they have any concerns about security, scalability, or getting online tech support answers quickly.

I have no complaints about WP Engine. I have always found them to be reliable and responsive.

WP Engine makes it easy to set up staging server and development environments for clients, which has helped me many times as clients revamp their sites.

It's very easy to navigate and find exactly what you need

Would wish they had an email hosting option as well so I can combine it with the website

Hosting multiple websites all in one place for several regions

I like being able to login to the WP admin through the portal, having a development and staging site, and being able to easy access high quality help with issues as they come up.

I wish hosting costs were cheaper, as always,but frankly we do get a good product for the price. I had some trouble a year or so ago with legacy staging, but it's been fixed.

I'm able to easily show my clients development versions of their sites before going live. It also has a seamless connection with domain registrars to set up a connection with your domain instantly.

WPEngine's support is second to none. They are always willing to help and have solved many complex problems for me. The uptime is very good as well, we never worry about our sites not being up.

To some it's the cost but to me it's a premium product and you get what you pay for honestly. It's worth the cost to me. I do wish you could have a little more control on the backend.

WPEngine provides reliability and support for sites which can be complex. They make what can be very complex much easier.

Fast TTFB and page load times across multiple sites. Easy to manage multiple instances and make backups or promote changes to production. The WP Engine support team has been great to work with the few times we've needed them, answering tickets almost immediately.

We've had some intermittent issues with the CDN feature, but WP Engine has always been proactive about communicating with us and offering solutions.

We are managing multiple web properties running WordPress, allowing us to focus on our business goals instead of constant server, platforms, and plugin updates.

WP Engine is always there to help us navigate complex hosting environments and monitor our sites. Can't recommend this platform enough for all of your WordPress hosting needs.

A rigid devops or webops process is not implemented with WP Engine and this can be tricky depending on how much control your individual developers have to push new code.

WP Engine support is always there, 24/7, and it's huge. They go above and beyond to help us understand the situation and always work with us until the issue is completely sorted.

Being able to manage several environments quickly and easily is an incredibly useful help for developers. LargeFS (AWS S3 ready) infrastructure also a bonus and the Customer Service is truly outstanding. Happy to have refer to WPE all my WP clients!

Cache exclusion management could use a manual input, but Support is always happy to do it. Maybe a search/replace system and an S3 GUI navigator and deleted media sync (in case of LargeFS) would be the ultimate tools that WPE is missing. Error logs dont seem complete at times and audit routines do clutter custom error logs, but nothing problematic to be fair... it's really hard to come up with something I would definitely change.

Managing several environments for websites, cloning them over easily, easy backups and rollbacks, AWS S3 ready... not sure what else one would need to develop/debug WP sites quickly and professionally.

I have been using WPEngine for my WordPress hosting needs for the last six years and have been extremely satisfied with the service. The platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it simple to manage client websites. The customer support team is also top-notch, always available to assist with any issues or concerns. The site speed and uptime have been excellent, giving me peace of mind that client websites are always running smoothly. Overall, I highly recommend WPEngine to anyone needing a reliable and efficient WordPress hosting solution."

It's worth noting that some users may find the pricing higher than other hosting providers, especially for small or personal websites. Additionally, WPEngine only supports WordPress and doesn't offer other website-building options. This can be an issue for users who want to use a different platform or have multiple websites on various platforms.

The benefits of using WPEngine are: Peace of mind Improved website performance Improved security Efficient customer support Easy website management Regular backups Automatic updates for WordPress and its plugins

Best features are ease of use and setup, and speed.

Not as robust as other hosting platforms.

Staying on top of the security of our sites.

WP Engine makes it so that I have a hosting partner for wordpress.

I wish there were a dedicated account manager like there is when you have a Shopify store.

WP Engine allows us to work with WP sites without needing to pay additional resources for hosting/monitoring/sys-admin, etc...

Reliability, backups, customer service is quick and smart!

Little bit on the pricey side but it is worth every penny.

It solved security loopholes with WP and page load issues clients would have.

I love how my team and I are able to access ALL of our websites' backups, FTP credentials, etc., all in WP Engine. It's been a HUGE lifesaver when updating our websites, and all of a sudden, we see a critical error. The support team is absolutely amazing and has been incredibly helpful.

I don't know exactly how much our account costs, but I do know it's very pricey. That's the only thing that pops up at the top of my head. There isn't really anything I dislike about WPEngine - they're amazing!

Alleviating the issues of having servers and manually backing up our websites. We've also alleviated the issues of having a developer because someone like me with minimal knowledge about development, WP Engine has helped guide me through the right steps in troubleshooting our sites.

It is excellent to work with a tech team that actually understands my client's technical needs and is able to assist quickly.

Recently they seem to be understaffed in their online chat.

Our company hosts 100+ of our client's website. We have never had a problem with security or site speed.

The support is second-to-none and available around the clock.

There isn't a lot that I don't like. There are some restrictions that are enforced as to plugins that may be installed on a shared server, but it is for security/performance reasons.

It's very, very easy to deploy between environments, meaning that we can make sure everything is in perfect working order before going live.

Amazing support. Really truly the best there is. Hooks up to New Relic for performance metrics. One dashboard for many sites. Easy production site / test site / dev site management.

Nada. These guys rock. A lot. UI is groovy.

Site hosting, management, PHP updates all in one place.

Ease of signup. The backend is very easy to use, even if you're not tech-savvy. The server uptime is amazing.

Sales folks can be a bit pushy at first, but they are very helpful.

We switched hosts to WPEngine as our old web host was having up-time issues and was unable or unwilling to resolve the issue. WPEngine also offers more hands-on service tailored to WordPress which was important to us.

I love how easy and simple WP Engine is to use. They have so many useful tools that they offer like automatic backups and instant recovery from a backup that just makes this a must use web hosting client for people using wordpress sites. They also have a really solution for creating and testing changes on a staging site so you dont have to push major updates to your main site which could cause problems. They're servers and settings are optimized for Wordpress so you wont have any issues with that. They're online support is very helpful and fast.

The service is going to be a little pricier than your generic web hosting plans like godaddy but you'll have way less headaches than dealing with other hosts like that.

Having the staging site has been great for testing major site updates. I love the auto updates of the WordPress version for our sites and how it checks to make sure that the updates won't adversely affect your site.

WP Engine is a fantastic managed hosting platform for WordPress. We have used them to scale our business with the headaches of upgrading hardware and software because they take care of it for you. Wp Engine continues to innovate with Staging, Development and Production sites rolled into every site you have on your account with them.

This is hard to say. W Engine has really come through with excellent features and incredible support. Honestly there is nothing to dislike!

Ability to scale sites quickly without worry about hardware or server issues. This truly is a platform you can grow with. WP Engine allows us to free up website maintenance time with their simple daily backups, custom control panel and great support.
