Wordpress VIP, from a team at Automattic, is enterprise WordPress hosting with customer or digital experience features for enterprises.
We used HostGator in the past when our website was still small and fairly new. Easy to set up, but nowhere near the level of complexity, details, and help from actual human beings that JetRails provides.
I was not involved in the selection process of this product as that decision was made at a higher level. Though, as previously stated, security and scalability were definitely some of the top factors from the limited amount of interactions I had with those making the decision.
Used custom websites served through AWS. Those are more complicated to manage and require a series of well built scripts and maintenance. They have their purpose but using WordPress makes it easier for other non-technical stakeholders.
It would be fair to say that both are superb products that follow through on promises and have very strong marketing and teams behind them. For truly enterprise organisations though, one would be tempted to recommend WordPress VIP at this moment in time, but one to keep an eye …
We use DigitalOcean for smaller-scale sites, and the level of support, reliability and seamless scalability is nowhere near the same level as WordPress VIP.
In the competition noted WordPress VIP is the only true enterprise dedicated to WordPress hosting. Their hosting framework is 100% geared up for providing enterprise organizations with the infrastructure needed.
Our team manages 4 different brands' websites and before WordPress VIP we were using multiple different hosts including Dreamhost and AWS. These were convoluted and didn't offer the enterprise features for our organization that WP VIP was capable of. We also considered …
Hosting is a complicated thing to get right, JetRails is well suited at understanding a client's business case and technology needs in order to match them with the right solution at the right price. Finding a great hosting partner is very difficult, as in most cases one gets treated like a number or just another customer. The JetRails team takes a personal interest in the success of their clients and in the success of JetRails as a whole.
WordPress VIP really changed the game when it comes to WordPress CMS and Content Management. A one-stop shop for all our client's business needs. We are focusing on Content Management instead of technicalities. The big advantage is the security features covering all recent vulnerabilities that any WordPress developer/user wastes lots of precious time fixing/updating. Performance-wise, WordPress VIP is definitely up there. We’ve been doing lots of optimization work over the last few years. Every client wants to score 100. With WordPress VIP we decreased the time spent on optimization significantly and now feel confident with taking more performance optimisation work than we did before. Lastly, maybe the most important for every business is the support quality. WordPress VIP runs a superb support team with phenomenal knowledge and expertise. Quick to respond and solves issues here and now. It is definitely recommended.
It's true enterprise ready hosting framework providing unparalleled hosting infrastructure for WordPress. Where an organisation has high load needs, but with stability and scale VIP delivers. It provides complete peace of mind that the hosting, security and scalability are taken care of and organisations can focus on developing out their website strategies
The usability of JetRails comes down to the team, the people at JetRails are entirely the reason we continue to work with them and focus on the future with them. The people are insightful and interested in our and our clients' success. Sure the fact they use cutting edge technology helps, but it wouldn't mean much without the personal touch to match the specifications to the clients' needs perfectly.
There wasn't a single problem that wouldn't be solved by the WordPress VIP support team, and I had quite a few questions during the process. They were always available and provided in-depth expertise on topics I was interested in. I not only consulted problems with them but also advised on future actions - in general, I'd highly recommend getting in touch.

By migrating our mobile applications to Wordpress's APIs, we could remove a large portion of our technical infrastructure, which was hosted on Google Cloud, along with an additional database and a lot of business logic used to support data transformation and ingestion.
