What do you like best about WP Engine?

Customer service, scalability, and the evolving product suite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

"The only WordPress hosting I recomend"

5/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

Customer Support and ease of use are key components of a great business tool. Since the website is used every day - making sure that the hosting is both reliable and secure is critical. It easily integrates with our other tools, and provides the best number of standard features of any host we have used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Like all WordPress sites, this can be a technical beast. WP Engine adds a layer of tools for developers and training for selling sites, that are not set up for a single sign-on, which is a little annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terminated Over Forged Complaints: Why I Left WP Engine"

0.5/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

Previous Response: I genuinely believed WP Engine was the best hosting company on the planet. I used to rave about their performance, reliability, and support — and to be fair, their hosting infrastructure was excellent. Speed, uptime, and technical stability were never an issue. It’s what made the eventual termination of my account all the more disappointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Previous Response: After nearly a decade with WP Engine, I was shocked when they terminated my account over three forged legal documents without conducting proper verification. I reached out directly to the former owner and acting CEO, explained the situation, and even referenced our feature in The New York Times and a recent Bloomberg documentary exposing the same individual behind the fraudulent complaints. Despite this, they showed no interest in the facts or defending a long-standing customer. Their unwillingness to investigate or support me during this attack was deeply disappointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine provided solid hosting and, on occasion, helped mitigate denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. However, those moments often came with delays and friction. Now that my primary website is protected by Google Project Shield, I’ve seen how seamless and proactive real protection can be. Compared to that, WP Engine’s response to threats always felt like a temporary fix rather than a long-term solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Advanced Customs Fields is a must!"

5/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

The customization of the product is only limited by the user's creativity. The included features cover nearly every need I had. Customer support was extremely fast to find a solution for my needs and was very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

The learning curve can be steep for someone with less experience but the content is organized in a way that is easy to remember once the user's skills develop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support and Peace of Mind with WP Engine"

5/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine's chat support, account manager, Dashboard, and overall hosting services are wonderful, giving me peace of mind that my sites are well-supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

I haven't encountered any issues, so I'm not sure what to say here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine takes all the server and security headaches off my plate. I don’t have to worry about updates breaking sites, backups failing, or performance issues. Everything just runs smoothly, which saves me a ton of time and lets me focus on building sites for clients instead of fixing hosting problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If Hosting Were a Spa, WP Engine Is the Full Swedish With Extra Towels"

5/5

What do you like best about WP Engine?

WP Engine has been our digital fortress for years—and not once have we needed to raise the drawbridge in panic. From seamless site management to top-tier performance, they make complex hosting feel like a walk in the proverbial WordPress park. The platform itself is intuitive, beautifully designed, and robust—like a Swiss Army knife in a tailored suit.

We use WP Engine daily—like, caffeine-level frequency. Whether we’re staging a new site, syncing updates, or running backups, it’s all frictionless. Integrations? A dream. From CDN setup to third-party tools, everything just... works. Like IKEA furniture, but without the leftover screws and existential despair.

But the real MVPs? Their support team. Our account managers are prompt, personable, and practically psychic. Whether it’s a rogue plugin tantrum or a mysterious 500 error at 2 AM, their support staff handle it with grace, speed, and a healthy dash of good humour. It’s like having a tech-savvy concierge, but for websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WP Engine?

Honestly, nitpicking WP Engine is like complaining that your espresso was too efficiently delivered. If I had to choose something, I’d say their pricing might make newer or smaller teams blink once or twice. But let’s be real: you get what you pay for. And in this case, you’re paying for uptime, peace of mind, and expert support that feels more like an extension of your own team than an external service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WP Engine solving and how is that benefiting you?

WP Engine has solved the problem of hosting anxiety—yes, that very real feeling where you refresh your site five times wondering if it's still up or if someone broke it (again). From uptime reliability to performance optimization, they’ve taken the heavy lifting out of WordPress management.

They handle site speed, security, backups, caching, CDN integration, and updates like it’s a well-rehearsed magic act. For us, that means we can focus on actually building great websites instead of playing whack-a-mole with server issues.

It’s also removed the bottleneck of troubleshooting. Before WP Engine, it was a mess of emails, forums, and prayer. Now? We ping support, get a helpful human in minutes, and we’re back on track. It’s like having a full-stack dev on speed dial—without needing to bribe them with coffee and biscuits.

The benefit? Time saved, stress reduced, team efficiency boosted, and client trust earned. With WP Engine handling the infrastructure, we’re free to be creative, strategic, and proactive—basically everything our clients actually pay us for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
