The True Cost of WP Engine

WP Engine is a recognized leader in the managed WordPress community. But WP Engine customers often share frustrations tied to overly complex billing, being overlooked and underappreciated, and inconsistent support. Too often, what WP Engine offers is not a good match for many customers’ needs.

Higher pricing with a complex billing model for overages and extra features
Limitations on lower-tier plans, including site counts and storage
Lack of visibility and connection among a larger customer base
Support that is too slow and too hands-off

*Data from WordPress Hosting Performance Benchmarks

I have worked with a lot of big hosting providers in the past: Flywheel, Siteground, Cloudways, Mediatemple. Pressable is the only host that has provided consistency in services, customer service, uptime – and things just working. I have not been on chat to troubleshoot anything since I got on the Pressable train. Highly recommended!
