wpengine.com - any experiences?

I had a few initial blips but for high traffic, server-intensive sites I have found them excellent & they've removed a lot of stress for me.

Previously I'd a 16GB dedicated server (managed) for ONE site + a good reseller shared account for some smaller sites - this was costing me about £400 per month & the 16GB beast was falling over during spikes....loads of stress & £££.

My wpengine costs $249 and is stress-free with loads of extras (such as backups, restore points & staging areas).

Highly recommended for anyone in my situation; half the price & 1% of the stress so far (about 6mths).

so long as it's not over 25,000 visits amirite?
 


Pretty good concept, a buddy of mine have used them before, but many-a-companies offer the same service.
 
My friend Jason started this site lol. It's primary target is people who want to host wordpress blogs and get service from WP only experts. To compete with everyone else, they have to have fast servers.

Assuming you know how to work wordpress, you can do better for your $ elsewhere.

Don't worry, J doesn't know my username lol

CCarter and myself offer extremely similar hosting that is considerably cheaper and faster, and we do not hit you with a list of plugins you cannot use. We only ask that you not use backup plugins, that's about it. Our servers are also more customized server-side and on a per client basis than our competitors and we do not limit you on the amount of sites you can host, but only the resources. Basically, they're highly, highly customized VPSs geared toward the fastest load times. CDN and root is included, along with 100% managed services. We do everything short of wiping your ass.

Your doing it wrong. Your supposed to say something witty and then drop that big ass sig in the thread. Your approach is leaving you wide open to get tar and feathered
