They inform you about risky plugins, update your site with minor releases and support, although always very busy and by chat, is very professional, know a lot and can help you with almost anything. > > **Cons**: For agencies, although they have a "reseller" plan, it's VERY complicated to do business. You don't have tools to check for each customer how much traffic or quota can use, so it's very hard to manage (and charge) if they overuse their/your resources. > > We've been using their infrastructure, in both shared plans and dedicated machines, for hundreds of WordPress sites for more than 5 years. ----- ### "Do not use WP Engine" — 1.0/5 > **Chris** | *April 12, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is nothing really to like about WP Engine. The interface is slow and clunky. Every process takes a along time. Support is very difficult to get. > > **Cons**: Expensive, hard to use. Support is almost impossible to get. You would be much better off wth a CPanel account to hosting it yourself. > > Terrible. If you need support you cannot get past their incompetent AI agent. Their dashboard is slow and not very intuitive. ----- ### "A Solid, Dependable Hosting Platform" — 4.0/5 > **David** | *August 13, 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: WP Engine makes it easy to manage a large amount of WordPress sites and they also make the migration / transfer process very easy. Their documentation and UI for dashboards are very helpful. > > **Cons**: Support has been less and less responsive over the last 2 years. It takes multiple attempts to get past the Ai to a real human. Every clean up attempt or question usually leads to a sales pitch. > > Overall, still a very solid platform for managing a large number of websites and the support staff is very helpful. ----- ### "The king of Wordpress hosting" — 5.0/5 > **Oumarou** | *June 16, 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: With the highest quality in uptime, speed and security, Wpengine is the king of Wordpress hosting. If you have a decent budget, don’t hesitate. > > **Cons**: It would be better and easier if they integrate domain name buying option directly in the wpengine dashboard. > > It deserves the price as you’ll get the best experience with a hosting plan. ----- ### "WP engine, a good software for WordPress hosting." — 5.0/5 > **Thierno Ousmane** | *September 5, 2022* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: To begin, what is WP Engine? It is a WordPress website hosting tool. Pretty straightforward definition right? But this is it\! Once we log into our dashboard we automatically notice the simplicity and intuitiveness of the software: Different tabs of different panels are clearly separated (whether it is the upside panel menu, the left-side panel menu, or the central panel menu). The things that I love about this software: - The Sites tab where we can have pieces of information about the names of our hosted sites, their groups, their PHP version (PHP stands for Personal Home Page, and it is used to manage the dynamic content of a website. We won’t dive into it here, since it is not our principal subject), their capacities of storage, their bandwidths, and the number of visitors per month; - The Users tab from which we can manage the users authorized to access our WP Engine account. We can add or remove them, define the level of their access, can see who among them made modifications on the sites. And overall, we can see pieces of information about them such as their names, emails, and their roles on the websites; - The ability to create a staging from the Staging tab, enables us to work on a draft version before releasing a website; - The very secure features that WP Engine gives us: Built-in firewalls, disk writing protection, secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and SSH (Secure Socket Shell). We can also add a 2FA (2 Factors Authentification). > > **Cons**: - Considering the prices, the visitor limits could be too much for small businesses. To give you an idea: For the Startup plan only 25 000 visitors per month are allowed for USD25/month; the Growth plan allows 100 000 visits for USD95/month; the Scale plan allows 400 000 visits per month for USD241/month; and USD2 would add up for each of those limits that we would exceed; - WP Engine doesn’t offer professional emails creation, nor domain names. If we need those, we would have to find them elsewhere. It could be better for the software to integrate them. > > Overall, this is a good product for WordPress websites. I'm still pleased to use it. The service would be better if the pricing is readjusted to help small businesses. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1016766/wp-engine?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1016766/wp-engine) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
