About WP Engine
WP Engine invented the managed WordPress category and is still one of the best at it. Caching, CDN, automatic backups, staging environments, and ten premium themes are all included in the price. The entry plan is priced in line with Kinsta and the platform is proven stable. The dashboard feels a bit dated, but for the money you get a complete, mature solution.
