    Considered Both Products
    Pantheon
    Chose Pantheon
    Pantheon's use of Git is much better than WP Engine, and Pantheon's interface is better. However, Pantheon costs more and would likely suit medium to larger organizations.
    GoDaddy's dedicated WordPress offering is much more restrictive compared with Pantheons and suits …

    Chose Pantheon
    The differentiating advantage that Pantheon has is the incredibly intuitive workflow UI, with seamless GIT integrations between each environment: Dev, Test, and Live.

    Chose Pantheon
    A lot of the other providers on this list are different from each other with very different target audiences. The only thing Pantheon can compare with is managed WordPress hosting, WordPress-related support, and hosting on Google Compute Engine. Pantheon wins hands down in …

    Chose Pantheon
    Pantheon is definitely the best, most premium option of any WordPress hosting services I've tried. For simpler WordPress sites I prefer using SiteGround because of it's lower cost and simpler features for the client to manage.

    Chose WP Engine
    If DIY hosting is your thing, you are 100% better off on Linode or Google Cloud. Pantheon ultimately won our business and respect with 100% uptime.

    Chose WP Engine
    WP Engine was cheaper than the alternatives, and our site was already present on their servers. It wasn't so much a choice of WP Engine over another hosting company as it was a choice to stay with WP Engine rather than invest the time required to switch to another provider. All …

    Chose WP Engine
    I selected Kinsta to replace WP Engine because their performance statistics, security configuration, and technical support prowess reminded me of WP Engine circa 2012 - top-notch.
