Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Chose Flywheel I select Flywheel to host my site and my clients' sites because of how fast and reliable the service is.

Likelihood to Recommend	Flywheel is amazing for hosting Wordpress sites - that's all they do, and they do it well. Their setup is fast, secure, and easy to use. And their customer support is second to none. An amazing company to work with. We're happy to be customers. Incentivized Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Read full review	If you need a trusted email hosting platform, Rackspace is definitely the way to go. Not only is it simple to use, but the help they're willing to provide is also outstanding. Whether you're upgrading (or even downgrading) a service, or have concerns over any use cases, they're great at providing assistance and being diligent to understand your needs. If you only require a simple email for only a few people, it may not be the way to go, but it's hard to beat the price they offer (and the clarity on that pricing as well).

Pros	Seamless integration with Local Easy-to-use dev, test, and live environments Affordable price tiers for smaller agencies Daily backups Customized WordPress hosting support Clean, easy-to-use UI Incentivized Jennifer Blair Creative Director and Owner Read full review	Excellent customer service - Their support teams respond quickly. Simplified migration services, limiting downtime. Fantastic communication - They keep you appraised to any situations that may arise, whether it's day-to-day business or a change in service.

Cons	I'd like to see some more tools (flush cache, etc) available from inside the WP admin area Incentivized Jonathan Teixeira Co-Founder Read full review	No real big issues with Rackspace itself. Some issues can occur with mail clients, but Rackspace support is helpful to sort them out. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Honestly, if it wasn't for the way in which ticket updates are shared, it would be a ten. They provide excellent support, from sales to technical to even migration services. I've always gotten my questions answered clearly, by someone who is human. If answers were displayed via email as well, rather than just a notice that I needed to login to see a message, it would be even better.

Alternatives Considered	Compared to WP Engine and Pantheon, Flywheel offers the most affordable and easy-to-use managed hosting platform for WordPress websites. I actually prefer Flywheel's UI a bit more to WP Engine's. Media Temple simply doesn't offer an affordable hosting option that particularly caters to WordPress websites. Flywheel has become my favorite among managed hosting platforms that are targeted on servicing WordPress developers.

Return on Investment	Moving sites to Flywheel has improved page loading speeds Using Flywheel for hosting saves us hours every month in terms of routine maintenance on WordPress sites Incentivized Duncan McMillan Director Read full review	We have had little disruption with our emails. I can think of only one problem in the last three years. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
