Why I Chose WPEngine

WordPress is the most popular content management software for blogging out there. But as a blogger, I need to focus more on the content of my blog. I need to read this, try this, and write stuff that my readers would find useful and informative. And those task alone is really eating up a lot of time.

If you are using WordPress, you also need to maintain your blog, backup regularly, ensure that it’s secured and protected from attacks, hacks, injections, malwares and tons of other attacks. You also need to make sure that your site is running fast and optimal. You also have to make sure that it’s always up, and is serving your readers at all time.

I know as a blogger, things like these, the “dirty works”, also consumes a lot of time. Don’t you just want somebody else do that for you? This is where WPEngine comes in. This is the reason why I chose WPEngine’s managed WordPress hosting services for my blog.

WPEngine does all of the dirty work for me. They keep my site secure, keeping it malware-free and free from vulnerabilities. My site was attacked by SQL injections before. And I had to stop blogging and spent a couple of days trying to find out what was causing my site to slow down big time. I could have ask for professional help but that would cost me a lot of money. That’s why I did it manually.

But now that I am with WPEngine, I don’t have to worry about those things anymore. They backup my site regularly, make sure that it’s up to date, and best of all, they do the caching and optimization for me. I don’t have to worry about Caching plugins or configurations anymore. All I have to do is focus on my blog, and just focus on delivering more content to my readers.

Is WPEngine Expensive?

Their Personal plan starts at $29 per month only for 1 WordPress install. Meaning 1 blog site. It’s true that it’s more expensive than your typical and cheap shared hosting solution. But does your cheap shared hosting solution keeps your site secure? Does it make your blog run super fast? No! If you want to purchase these additional features, you would end up paying $100 or more per month for these services. Not to mentioned VPS and Dedicated server solution are way more expensive.

You also get amazing support with WPEngine. And since they are experts on WordPress, all your questions regarding your WordPress powered blogs are sure to be answered.

Oh, I almost forgot, you can also choose from US, UK or Tokyo data centers without any additional payments at all. And you can switch from one data center to another, without additional cost, just in case you decide to switch later.

WPEngine vs the Competition?

I’ve tried other managed WordPress hosting, who tries to match WPEngine’s pricing and features. But WPEngine is second to none. It’s simply the best manged WordPress hosting solution out there. I have tried other similar services before. Moving your entire blog from one hosting to another is a pain and very time consuming. But at least I discovered that WPEngine is one of the best out there.
