Templ offers managed WordPress hosting built on Google Cloud and their main focus is on offering high-quality service and market-leading performance. At Templ they always go the extra mile for you and you can actually count on that their support team will solve your problems for you. ## Templ Reviews ### 1. Templ offers everything you expect from managed WordPress hosting and more. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dr Andy T. | Founder, Owner, and Principal, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Templ?** Templ's WordPress hosting comes with all the bells and whistles you expect from a premium managed WordPress hosting package. Features include unlimited free migrations, a staging site, free SSL certificates, a Content Delivery Network (CDN), daily backups, and the equivalent of cPanel's File Manager. In addition, you get an SMTP server for outgoing emails, which I found simple to configure. Other managed WordPress hosting providers do not always have an SMTP server for outgoing emails; even if they do, it is often not this easy to set up. For outgoing transactional emails, I usually use Sendinblue's official plugin for WordPress. With Templ's SMTP server, I don't have to install the Sendinblue plugin unless the site requires a newsletter subscription form. Templ also offers several value-added plugins, i.e., Templ Automatic Updates Enabler, Templ Cache, Templ Token Login, and Templ Optimizer. Among these plugins, I found the Templ Optimizer plugin the most useful because it helps optimize the WordPress database and improves site performance. When creating a website, you can choose from 29 Google Cloud locations, which is considerably more than what most other managed WordPress hosting providers offer. Templ provides incredible customer support by online chat, email, and phone (from 7 a.m. through 5 p.m. UTC+1). Response times are usually within 5 minutes. I wanted to activate the PageSpeed Module – this took about 40 minutes. The customer support also helped me decide to continue using the paid Cloudflare CDN service instead of the Google Cloud CDN, which comes with the hosting plan. All communication from members of the support team has been helpful and professional. **What do you dislike about Templ?** All Templ's WordPress hosting plans are for only one website. The plans differ in the number of CPU cores, RAM, storage, and bandwidth. Unlike many of its competitors, Templ doesn't offer plans for more than one website, e.g., 3 websites (e.g., Kinsta, Servebolt, Rocket.net), 5 websites (e.g., Kinsta, Pantheon, Servebolt) or 10 websites (e.g., Flywheel, Kinsta, Pantheon, Rocket.net, Servebolt). Nevertheless, I believe Templ provides decent value at the current prices on a per-site basis, though it can get relatively expensive if you have ten sites or more. Because Templ uses Nginx in its server stack, I cannot use the free but feature-filled LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress (LSCWP) plugin, my preferred performance plugin. Templ recommends the WP Rocket performance plugin, which is a paid plugin. Even with the 20% discount that Templ customers receive, a license for a single website will cost about $39 per annum, adding to the total cost of running a WordPress website. Only the support team can activate the PageSpeed Module and Google CDN. I would have preferred the ability to activate and deactivate these features within the Templ Panel. **Recommendations to others considering Templ:** Take Templ's managed WordPress hosting for a test drive by signing up for a 10-day free trial. **What problems is Templ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Templ's managed WordPress hosting saved us time and hassle in setting up and maintaining a WordPress website, which allowed us to focus on our core business and be more productive. The speed of our website hosted on Templ is faster than on most other hosting providers – this improvement in webpage loading time helped enhance the user experience for visitors to our site. Our website's uptime is 100% – we had previously used less reliable web hosting services, and our sites experienced significant downtimes, which meant customers and prospects could not access them. ## Templ Discussions - [What is Templ used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-templ-used-for) - [View Templ pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/templ/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+02%3A25%3A10+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f664df7e-82d8-4d20-b27a-32cf6660a274&secure%5Btoken%5D=bae9a8e159e883c1f33f067f6e471458eba5a10f48783a77e43c4f950274b36e&format=llm_user) ## Top Templ Alternatives - [WordPress.com](https://www.g2.com/products/wordpress-com/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (2,666 reviews) - [Kinsta](https://www.g2.com/products/kinsta/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (1,436 reviews) - [Cloudways](https://www.g2.com/products/cloudways/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (1,107 reviews)
