WP Engine or MyHost?

WordPress hosting doesn’t need to be complicated, or expensive.

Keep it simple and save

WP Engine’s hosting starts at a high price. There are long lists of important-sounding features, and a confusing layer of paid add-ons. Don’t be fooled, though. Behind all the bluster you’re looking at good old shared hosting.

Secure, fast, and expertly-supported hosting for WordPress doesn’t have to carry a premium price. At MyHost you get more server space, less of the hard sell, and everything that WordPress needs to run beautifully.

WP Engine puts extra limits on WordPress

We believe that your CMS should just work the way it’s supposed to. WP Engine would rather make changes to WordPress, for their own reasons.

WP Engine disables the WordPress feature that autosaves older versions of pages when you update them. Want to roll back your changes? With MyHost, it's easy.

WP Engine also limits image sizes and how some files behave in the uploads directory. They warn that “some plugins are incompatible with the WP Engine platform”, and hide a set of WordPress settings. We don't.

I am really impressed. Not only is the performance fantastic on their hosting accounts (shared hosting), but I required some technical assistance to activate certain features for an API I have on the back of my application, and the customer support was nothing short of amazing (and I mean that). Quick response and understood my needs and solved my request perfectly. I've used many hosting services over the years and MyHost is a good (very good) one. ★★★★★

Great service and really quick response within 30 mins of logging the job at night. Solutions were correct and quick with suggestions to improve the site as well. This was totally unexpected for a small customer who have a small club site, where the expectation was to be at the bottom of the pile. Well done and thanks to the support team. ★★★★★
