Considered Both Products	WP Engine Jesse Haraldson Principal Software Architect in Information Technology at Thomson Reuters (Information Technology & Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose WP Engine For Acquia and AEM the major differentiator was the cost for WPEngine was significantly lower and we could use the more common WordPress CMS. AEM is better for large marketing sites that integrate with the Abobe Marketing Cloud and we didn't feel we could support Drupal on … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose WP Engine WP Engine provides premium WordPress hosting. I haven't dealt with other dedicated WordPress hosts, except for WordPress.com by Automattic, which is good, but WP Engine is professional-grade, dedicated WP hosting. I have found that generally, non-dedicated WordPress hosting … Incentivized Helpful? Kelly Michael Skelton Internet Marketing Manager in Marketing at Thrasio (Consumer Goods, 1001-5000 employees) Chose WP Engine WP Engine and Go Daddy both had great support offerings and were both very competent when it comes to hosting websites. We chose WP Engine because their platform was just much easier to use and our marketing personnel could perform the majority of the essential daily tasks that … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose WP Engine DreamHost is good as well, but overall I really enjoy the experience I have had working with WP Engine with all of our clients. The support is pretty good with all three that I mentioned, but WP Engine is superb. WP Engine is really great and the interface is super easy to … Incentivized Helpful? Matt Levy Manager Digital and Social Media in Marketing at Rothenberg Law Firm (Law Practice, 51-200 employees) 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. Incentivized Helpful? Thomas Petty Owner in Information Technology at Thomas Petty Enterprises (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose WP Engine There's absolutely no comparison between the other companies and WP Engine. WP Engine is far superior in all ways. Every time I do a security audit on a potential client's website, I can tell right away that it's on an overloaded server at one of the competitors. The first … Incentivized Helpful? Michael Herchenroder Senior Software Engineer in Research & Development at CORNERSTONE CONSULTING (Warehousing, 11-50 employees) Chose WP Engine We were originally on GoDaddy until we got a malware attack on their shared server. Cleaning up an infected server is almost impossible, so we decided to jump ship and set up our sites on Site Ground. We needed faster hosting anyway. Site Ground was decent, but their customer … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose WP Engine While we still use GoDaddy for some services, WP Engine definitely has been a major upgrade for our WordPress hosting. In addition to faster load speeds, WP Engine has been more adept at allowing us to manage a high number of websites without straining the system. We have never … Incentivized Helpful? Josh Peichoto Digital Strategy Manager in Marketing at Envoy Mortgage (Financial Services, 1001-5000 employees) Chose WP Engine Other hosting companies are garbage by comparison. Budget, shared environment hosts are clunky, slow, and not as secure. Larger hosts generally require someone with a decent amount of knowledge with configuring and maintaining the hosting environment. WPEngine fills the void in … Incentivized Helpful? Quentin Aisbett Digital Strategist in Marketing at OnQ Marketing (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose WP Engine We've evaluated many hosting providers over the years and in fairness, we've now been with WP Engine for 5 years so I'd imagine each of them has improved over that time also. However, WP Engine's support team, product development, and user experience is better than any other … Incentivized Helpful? Gordon Seirup Owner at Copper Leaf Creative (Online Media, 1-10 employees) 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose WP Engine I used a solution from Rackspace years ago which was just their dedicated server product (not available for selection above so had to choose managed hosting). They pretty much give you shell access to a box and then it's up to you to manage everything yourself. This is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose WP Engine I used to work for GoDaddy when they released their own WordPress hosting. It's not bad, but not nearly as well developed. They have too many irons in the fire if you ask me, and WP Engine is so laser-focused on WP hosting. A2 hosting is a great budget solution that is also … Incentivized Helpful? Jeremy Estes Chief Media Buyer in Marketing at 10xResponse (Information Technology and Services, 51-200 employees) Chose WP Engine WP Engine blows all these hosting companies out of the water when it comes to WordPress hosting. I ultimately moved to WP Engine when my to WordPress sites continued to go down, performed slowly, or got to the point where they were impossible to manage. Now, if I see someone … Incentivized Helpful? Alec Dibble Founder in Marketing at Alec Dibble Consulting (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose WP Engine I have used WP Engine for several years and love the service. Their technology, security, speed & support are unparralleled. I've had to file several support tickets & the experience was really good every time. Being a consultant & tech integrator, I often have to deal with B2B … Incentivized Helpful? Collin Berg Freelance Web Developer at SJI Associates \| Design & Advertising (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose WP Engine WP Engine has a no worry solution for automatic backups and free SSL is great for $30/month. They scale to our needs as well so we never have to worry about being throttled if we get a lot of press. and at $1 for every 1000 visitors over your quote, hits one of the cheapest … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose WP Engine I have worked with other top web hosting companies and none offer the simplicity of WP Engine. WP Engine is more expensive, however we deem the cost justifiable for the features that are included. Other web hosts are simple boxes that give you more control, however do not offer … Incentivized Helpful? Peter Filias CEO (Chief Executive Officer) in Information Technology at Auth0 (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose WP Engine We tried to run this site on Wordpress-optimized versions of hosting offered at MediaTemple and GoDaddy... neither sufficed.

(Internet, 11-50 employees) Chose WP Engine WP Engine blows these guys out of the water in regards to reliability, security and customer support Incentivized Helpful? Will Paccione Owner in Corporate at Dot Xero (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose WP Engine We used to use HostGator in the past. We feel they've gone downhill in the past few years. When other hosting companies offer free SSL certificates through the trusted "Lets Encrypt", HostGator still down't offer it (last I checked). Support takes a long time. Ability to use a … Incentivized Helpful? Rachel Maner Content Marketing Specialist in Marketing at APS (Human Resources, 51-200 employees) Chose WP Engine Prior to WP Engine, we had an off-site consultant hosting our site. It was terribly inconvenient and counterproductive. We selected WP Engine because the platform is intuitive and the price is very reasonable. I've never used another hosting service, so I can't speak to how … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Mann Tekton in Engineering at Tozny (Computer & Network Security, 1-10 employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose WP Engine I don't know if I can repeat myself another time, but I suppose I will. WP Engine is a WordPress first hosting solution. If you are looking to build a simple or complex WordPress website, you should use this solution. Whether you're a company that builds WordPress websites or … Incentivized Helpful? Tim Colling President in Engineering at A Servant's Heart Web Design and Marketing - Online Marketing & SEO for Those Who Serve the Elderly (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose WP Engine There's no comparision in terms of reliability, uptime, convenience, flexibility, pricing, and especially, tech support.
