How easy is it to leave WP Engine if I decide you guys suck?

We make it easy to leave because it forces us to earn your business every month.

At any time, you can download a complete copy of your blog. This include the entire database and every single file including system files, media uploads, and plugins — not just the usual WordPress “export” which is just posts and comments.

You can restore this dump to a new server and be up and running immediately. In fact, if you already self-host, you might want to give that a try just to prove to yourself that you could revert back to self-hosting at any time. Some of our customers do this on purpose to have a “hot backup.”

On top of that, we’re developing a new service that will automatically push this dump to a location of your choosing (like Amazon S3 or an FTP drop-box), so even if something drastic happens you’d be able to restore your entire site immediately.
