After hosting several high traffic WordPress sites it’s a relief to come to WP Engine. At SoundCloud we were looking for a hassle free provider to set up our blogs at, which we found in these guys. Swift replies, but also very open to feedback and eager to improve. Almost like unicorns!

When the New York Times told me they were doing a big story about my site, I knew I needed to get to a new host. Like. Yesterday. My old host had really nice and responsive staff, but whenever I had a traffic bump, my site was prone to crash. I’ve been on WordPress since 2007, and knew the time was right for a solution tuned specifically to its needs. WPEngine got my site onto their servers pronto, and when the Times story hit, the day went off without a single hitch — even though my pageviews quadrupled. Oh, and yes, my site speed is much, much faster. I’m a writer, not a techie, so I don’t really understand WPEngine’s “secret sauce”. But so far, so good — it’s rockin’ my site like never before.

My site was under attack from a Distributed Denial of Service attack on my old shared host. I was getting 1.5 million requests per hour that took my site down and 20 other sites who were also hosting on the same server. It took the old host 3 days to identify the problem, and even then offered no real solution. I switched to WP Engine and within hours the DDOS was dealt with *and* my website was loading about 4x faster. I definitely recommend WP Engine!

I have to say that ‘DAMN’ your support and customer service is good! No, really! I don’t know if you guy’s are spoiling me or that every other hosting service that I have used in 15 years were BAD! The difference so far has been like chalk and cheese, you can quote me!

I was often frustrated with the performance of my site with my previous hosting company. Enter WP Engine. My site loads ridiculously fast, my page views are up, and my business is seeing the results. I rest easy at night with the level of support. My only regret: that I didn’t do move to WP Engine sooner.
Things have been unbelievably fast and stable since we switched to WP Engine. Everything has been been great. Keep up the awesome work!

Love WP Engine, my new host! They solved problems LiquidWeb & Network Solutions couldn’t. Plus made my site faster & more profitable. Total crush.

I self-hosted WordPress for years until I started experiencing crashes every time a post made it to the first page of Hacker News. I switched to WP Engine right before speaking at a major event. Not only did my blog survive the traffic spike, but I’ve doubled the number of subscribers since then and haven’t experienced a single outage yet.
It’s nice to pay someone to handle all the hosting BS that we’re no good at. They’re WordPress Pros.

I’ve really, really liked working with WPEngine and think what you guys are doing and offering are top notch. I’m not a WordPress or hosting expert by any stretch, but I’ve been around long enough to have a number of not so great experiences. WP Engine is delivering a great hosting experience all around. Thank you.

WP Engine is not only a good hosting provider but has also a great and fast support!

We had an expensive server that we had to maintain because we needed plugins and scalability. WP Engine let us leave that box, keep our plugins and still scale.
It’s nice to concern ourselves with the content and growth of our blog rather than trying to be our own IT department.

Let me know any way I can help by expressing fan-hood. Active beyond the call-of-duty customer service like this backs up the aggressive marketing copy. Muchas gracias.

Any serious WordPress site needs four things: security, speed, scalability, and service. Usually you can find a company that gives you 1 or 2 of these. Occasionally 3, almost never 4. WP Engine excels at all 4. They are not just a hosting company, they are your partners in success. I’m always raving about them and give them my absolute best recommendation. On a scale of 1-10, I give them an 11.

We are absolutely thrilled with WPEngine! The performance is great, and best of all, the support! Thanks to the team for your ongoing, continued support getting us going and for your patience!

Our website was going down all the time — *Our old webhost was a complete nightmare*. The tech wizards at WP Engine helped us migrate our website in a matter of hours, with zero downtime. Page loads are now notably faster. We expect to rely on the team at WP Engine to host all of our WordPress sites.

The WP Engine support has been excellent. I now see the difference between paying $5 or $10/mo for hosting vs a group that charges $49+ but specializes in WordPress and delivers fast, reliable support. Well worth my investment and happy I was referred to you for my site www.dentalimplants.us.

“The team at WP Engine is exceptionally responsive. We switched from VPS.net because expert support, in WordPress, was and IS a top priority. 5 stars, no doubt!”

I used to run all my WordPress sites on a high spec managed and dedicated server which I rented from a top hosting provider. It was only after attending a WordCamp and listening to a discussion on WordPress scalability and security that I learned that even with the server I had, my sites were not as solid as I had thought. After many hours of research on optimized WordPress hosting I decided to try WP Engine. WP Engine has been amazing — all of my sites’ page load speeds increased by at least 42%. Support even during my trial period was impressive and personal. It gives me great comfort to know that what I now offer to my clients are backed by rock-solid technologies.

Super easy migration as you guys did all the work for me (which I like). Experience before was a nightmare as my site crashed 3 times in two weeks. Since working with WP Engine my site has been running super-fast and never crashed once. I love the service!
