In recent years, managed WordPress hosting<\/strong> has evolved as a major business paradigm in the WordPress economy. The competition<\/strong> between such companies observed a shift from being a merely managed WordPress hosting solution to their services<\/strong> on top of it. Nowadays, they are being preferred<\/strong> on the basis of tools<\/strong>, performance<\/strong>, dedicated plans<\/strong>, and user<\/strong>\u00a0requirements<\/strong>. Every other managed WordPress hosting company has got something distinguishing services to offer.<\/p>\n

WPEngine<\/strong><\/a> is an established and well-known name in the niche of WordPress Managed Hosting. The prime factors behind the success of WPEngine include\u00a0its provident vision<\/strong>, scale management<\/strong>, and unique digital experience<\/strong> for different scales of businesses. As a developer, I got to use it multiple times and every time I found it to be far out!<\/p>\n

Today, I am supercharged to share my experience with WPEgnine as a developer. In this extensive review, I’ll be taking a deep dive into the\u00a0developer agility tools<\/strong> offered by WPEngine. Also, I’ll be sharing my experience overall and how easy it is to get started with its services.<\/p>\n

From pre-launch in 2009<\/strong> to\u00a0public launch in 2013<\/strong> by Jason Cohen<\/a>, WPEngine<\/a> has come a very long way in less than 5 years<\/strong> of its formal release. In 2017, WPEngine crossed\u00a0$100M<\/strong> in annual recurring revenue with a whopping userbase of 75,000+<\/b>. Earlier this year, they also secured\u00a0$250M<\/strong> in financing from Silver Lake<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 which means that the company is not only growing but it’s getting better as we speak.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Talking about investment, Jason Cohen says:<\/em><\/p>\n

With Silver Lake\u2019s investment and support, we can accelerate our growth investing even more into our strategic roadmap, and place some new bets on ideas we\u2019ve had but haven\u2019t been able to find the space to explore.<\/p> \u2014 Jason Cohen \u2013 Founder at WPEngine<\/cite><\/a><\/blockquote>\n

Despite the fact, that the success of any business\/company is a collaborative effort and WPEngine rocks a splendid team. But I think it would be unfair if I do not mention some of the solid brains behind this company.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc4cMy friend Heather J. Brunner<\/a> \u2014 CEO & Chairperson WPEngine & David Vogelpoh<\/a>l \u2014 Vice President of Web Strategy WPEngine are working day and night in taking WPEngine to the next level. Heather and Jason won\u00a0Entrepreneur Of The Year\u00ae 2017 Central Texas<\/a>\u00a0award last year.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf1fHeather and David have both backed our open source work here at WPCouple. WPEngine’s support for us helped us contribute to the WordPress core<\/a>\u00a0and build hundreds of free and open source software<\/a>, especially\u00a0create-guten-block<\/a> for the upcoming Gutenberg editor \u2014 that’s been used by over 15,000 developers.<\/p>\n

Quite recently, WPEngine has supported the Tide project and has made it possible for it to join WordPress.org. WPEngine has been with Google, Automattic, and XWP, on creating a new service through this Tide project<\/a> that will help users make better plugin decisions and assist developers in writing better code.\u00a0To be honest, this is a remarkable breakthrough and I am super excited about it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\ud83c\udf96 WP Engine\u2019s Customer Experience team has bragged<\/a> three Gold Stevie<\/strong> Award<\/strong> for excellence in customer service<\/strong>.\u00a0In this short timespan, WPEngine also managed to expand its operations into\u00a06 different regions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
