Managed Hosting for WordPress Developers

WP Engine stands out from self-hosting options such as AWS or DigitalOcean because of the specialized operational knowledge behind our infrastructure. The development of our platform stems from over 15 years of optimizing server setups and configurations specifically for WordPress® sites which removes the operational hurdles associated with self-stack management.

Technical teams can create efficient cloud environments but managing those systems requires continuous time and expert knowledge for updates and security. The obligation to maintain technical environments hampers innovative progress and diverts attention from organizational expansion.

WP Engine delivers built-in performance and reliability along with expert support which enables your team to concentrate on creative work instead of maintenance tasks.

Through advanced caching combined with scalable architecture and proactive monitoring we built our platform to manage high-traffic spikes. EverCache® and our global CDN handle traffic spikes seamlessly for the majority of websites without requiring users to perform additional work.

We provide custom plans for websites with regular large traffic surges which include burst capacity solutions to manage unexpected spikes while maintaining steady performance during peak usage periods.

Smart Scale provides temporary server scaling solutions and event monitoring for planned events while ensuring predictable cost management. Our tailored solutions provide stability and responsiveness for your site during critical periods even though automatic autoscaling isn’t available.

Our services extend beyond infrastructure as we collaborate with you to handle daily traffic and peak demands while eliminating your need to manage growth planning and associated risks.

Absolutely. WP Engine fully supports modern development workflows, including version control and CI/CD.

With tools like Local and Git integration developers can:

• Use GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket to manage code versions.
• Deploy through CodeShip or other CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions or DeployBot.
• Automate testing and deployment with seamless integration.

Yes! The WP Engine Headless Platform is the perfect solution for developers looking to unleash the best of WordPress through composable architecture. Omnichannel, multi-CMS, and more are all possible with WP Engine when you unlock the reliability of WordPress and the flexibility of modern frontend frameworks. Learn more here.

Smart Plugin Manager runs a Visual Regression Test (VRT) after every update to identify if updates have caused any issues with your site. Any faulty updates are automatically rolled back. Learn more here.

WP Engine provides SSH access for seamless access to all of the sites your user has access to but for security we do not provide root access. We have more information on our platform settings page. Developers can also use CI/CD workflows using Git or use Live Links to share your work with Local.

The failover strategy we provide matches your specific objectives which include uptime, quick recovery, or business continuity.

We provide high availability solutions with load-balancing technology to manage traffic distribution across multiple servers for customers who require maximum uptime. Our system maintains website availability even when one server encounters problems.

Every environment undergoes daily backup routines which are kept in separate storage from the main server. You can achieve speedy and dependable recovery following significant system breakdowns or data loss through this process. Learn more here.

We organize our customer support to provide quick professional assistance precisely when you need it.

24/7/365 Global Support: Customers can access support through chat, and phone assistance is available for selected plans.

• Tiered Expertise: Support routing assigns your issue to specialists who match its complexity level so you can discuss your problem with someone who fully understands it.
• Premium Support: Customers of higher-tier plans receive the expertise of senior support agents along with technical account management and onboarding assistance.
• Proactive Partnership: In addition to reactive assistance our technical account managers deliver best practices along with monitoring alerts and platform insights that help stop problems before they develop.

We’ve also integrated AI to deliver quick, reliable guidance on our platform and WordPress-related topics, making it easier to find the answers you need, faster. Learn more here.

WP Engine includes insights and reporting on all plans to empower users to take control of their performance improvements. In the user portal, users can access scores that show health at a glance at the site and account level, account level metrics (CPU, PHP, Errors), site level metrics (Latency, Traffic, Errors, Cache hit ratio, slow pages), and exportable site reports that summarize these insights. Innovation is ongoing with more performance data feature releases to come later this year.
