Después de haber ayudado a miles de usuarios a elegir un plan de alojamiento web y poner en marcha su sitio web, hemos respondido a casi todas las preguntas que se te puedan ocurrir. Estas son algunas de las preguntas más frecuentes sobre WP Engine.
Cómo sé si WP Engine es una buena opción para mí?
WP Engine es una solución de hospedaje administrado de WordPress. Mientras que le da una paz de la mente mediante el manejo de todos los aspectos técnicos de la optimización de su servidor para mejorar el rendimiento, la realidad es que podría no ser la solución adecuada para todos. La plataforma está dirigida principalmente a unos pocos segmentos de clientes, como PYMES, agencias, desarrolladores, empresas y vendedores.
WP Engine es una buena opción para usted en los siguientes casos.
- Facilidad de gestión: Obtienes una configuración de alojamiento ajustada que está construida específicamente para operar sitios WordPress. De esta manera usted puede concentrarse en lo que es importante para su negocio sin tener que manejar ninguna tarea tediosa de administración del sistema.
- Velocidad: No necesitas instalar ningún plugin para aumentar la velocidad de tu sitio, como CDN o plugins de caché. Si está en un entorno de alojamiento WordPress gestionado, la velocidad del sitio está asegurada.
- Seguridad integrada: Las empresas de alojamiento gestionado de WordPress proporcionan una seguridad a prueba de balas sin tener que gestionar complejos plugins de seguridad de WordPress. También vienen con actualizaciones automáticas del núcleo de WordPress para asegurarse de que está utilizando la última versión para que proteja su sitio de vulnerabilidades conocidas.
- Entorno amigable para desarrolladores: Necesitas características amigables para desarrolladores como acceso SSH, WP-CLI, Composer, Sequel Pro y Git. También necesita una herramienta de un solo clic entorno de ensayo que hace que sea fácil de construir sitios antes de empujarlos a la producción.
- Soporte superior: También puede contar con profesionales de soporte altamente capacitados y cualificados que conocen los entresijos de su sitio y servidor WordPress.
¿En qué se diferencia WP Engine de otras opciones de alojamiento WordPress?
Como WordPress es la plataforma de construcción de sitios web más popular, muchos proveedores de alojamiento ofrecen alojamiento WordPress que se enfoca en la conveniencia de construir un sitio WordPress. Con estas opciones de alojamiento, usted no tiene que pasar por un paso adicional de instalación de WordPress, ya que vienen pre-instalados con WordPress.
WP Engine va más allá de una solución de alojamiento gestionado de WordPress y proporciona un montón de diferentes herramientas para ayudarle a tener éxito en su negocio, como la herramienta de puesta en escena con un solo clic, análisis de contenido de WordPress y mucho más. Más que en la comodidad, se centra principalmente en el rendimiento que ofrece. Aparte de elegir un plan de alojamiento, no tienes que hacer nada más para mejorar el rendimiento de tu sitio. De hecho, WP Engine te restringe la instalación de plugins de caché, CDN y seguridad en tu sitio porque ellos mismos se encargan. De esta forma puedes centrarte en lo que importa para tu negocio sin tener que gestionar tareas de administración del sistema.
¿Por qué debería elegir WP Engine cuando puedo manejar la misma cantidad de tráfico y obtener más espacio de almacenamiento por un precio comparativamente más bajo de otros proveedores?
Mientras que otros proveedores de hosting manejan la misma cantidad de tráfico por un plan más barato, el beneficio de WP Engine es que ofrece una velocidad de sitio web increíblemente rápida para todos sus visitantes, mientras que le da una tranquilidad. Usted no tiene que gastar sus recursos en optimizar el rendimiento de su servidor. Lo mejor de todo es que también obtienes muchas características mejoradas para proporcionar una experiencia de WordPress revolucionaria.
Con WP Engine, usted está pagando por el rendimiento y las herramientas que le dan para tener éxito en su negocio – no por el almacenamiento. Si usted necesita un servidor de alojamiento para el almacenamiento de medios de comunicación, es posible que desee elegir otro servicio de alojamiento en su lugar.
¿Qué plugins están restringidos en la plataforma WP Engine?
WP Engine no le permite usar ciertos plugins que han demostrado ser incompatibles con su solución de alojamiento.
Los plugins prohibidos se dividen en varias categorías.
- Plugins de caché
- Algunos plugins de copia de seguridad
- Plugins de thrashing de servidor y MySQL
- Plugins de entradas relacionadas
- Plugins de comprobación de enlaces rotos
- Plugins de comportamiento duplicado
- Plugins de correo electrónico
- Otros plugins comprometidos que pueden contener códigos potencialmente vulnerables.
¿Qué plan de WP Engine debo adquirir?
Elegir un plan de WP Engine es fácil. Puedes elegir un plan basado en la cantidad de tráfico que esperas.
Cuando estás empezando, puedes elegir el plan Startup. A medida que crece, puede actualizar a un plan superior en función de sus necesidades.
¿Dónde están localizados los servidores de WP Engine?
Cuando te registras para un plan de alojamiento en WP Engine, se te permitirá elegir la ubicación del centro de datos.
- US (Iowa, Carolina del Sur, Oregon)
- Bélgica
- Taiwán
- Tokio
- Londres
- Fráncfort
- Sidney
- Irlanda
- Montreal
¿Puedo actualizar mi plan WP Engine más tarde?
Por supuesto. Cuando estás empezando, puedes elegir el plan más básico. A medida que creces, siempre puedes actualizar a un plan superior según tus necesidades.
¿Ofrece WP Engine una opción de pago mes a mes?
Si, pero tenga en cuenta que el plan anual ofrece el mejor valor. Usted obtiene 4 meses gratis en un plan anual.
I just stumbled across this review I gave for WPE back in 2012.
I can’t remember posting it here but have to say, 5 years on and still feel the same way about WPE – Great speed, service and support across all my sites.
As a developer and manager of my company’s custom wordpress site, I can’t say enough good things about WP Engine’s chat support. I’ve needed help with technical questions and troubleshooting several times since taking over the site and the chat tech support specialists are always excellent. I get really clear answers in a very timely manner and they often think of things I haven’t even thought of yet. All of my experiences at WP Engine have been great! I often recommend them to others as a fantastic service with superior customer support.
I have had used almost all the major hosting, hostgator, 1 and 1, green geeks, dream host ….many of the hosting sites are all one big conglomerate…
But I have found 1 that is smaller, US based, and their technical people are on top of everything, immediately….We use vps and most of our clients eventually transfer to them. MD Hosting…truly their support is in a class of their own. Privately owned and very competetive pricing. We have been on their hosting for over 2 years…its what hosting should be.
Easily the best host I’ve ever used!
Its worth it just for access to their support team. They’re all WP experts – and not just with regards to WP Engine. I’ve had support team members help me fix issues with my theme, plugins etc. They’ve probably saved me thousands in outsourced developers!
I can’t recommend them highly enough (and I’m not the kind of person who normally says this!)
“some plugins not allowed” That’s something that wouldn’t have occurred to me; do you know which plug-ins? is there a list somewhere to find out what they currently are?
WP Engine is great. It’s one of the best Managed WordPress out there. It is pricey but you get what you pay for. They offer the best support, WP features like staging and caching, and easy backup/restore.
The only downside is that they don’t offer IonCube on their new PHP 7. This should be the basics and something they should have considered when they installed PHP 7 on their site.
I have been working for our client and for the last one and half years also being a part of WP engine. WP engine sounds really awesome for me. 24/7 support, Daily Backups, Best Restore points, Free SSL Certificate, Inbuilt Security Checkups and etc etc etc. In all the way, i will suggest WP Engine to anyone who prefer to host WP sites.
I’ve had a wonderful relationship with them so far and find no reason to complain yet. I have actually recommended it to several people.
Interesting. I have never had an issues like that with them. Out of curiosity, which hosting would you recommend?
I found WP Engine exceedingly expensive, its staff very unresponsive to resolving technical issues and , when you point this out to them, they force you to terminate hosting contract in 1 week, in total breach of their own T&Cs. WP Engine is highly unprofessional, techically unskilled and unlawfall, not to mention their ourageously high cost. Stay away
WP Engine is exceptional. We operate an online news website and we have been with many service providers on both VPS and Dedicated hosting environments. For a site that generates over 20k visitors per day, WP Engine has never failed us in any area. Exceptional staff treat you like you are family.
Not too easy to get approved affiliate account and may be better wp hosting. Pretty much fees for hosting.
The team at WP Engine is exceptionally responsive. We switched from VPS.net because expert support, in WordPress, was and IS a top priority. Five stars, no doubt!
I have to say that ‘DAMN’ your support and customer service is good! No, really! I don’t know if you guy’s are spoiling me or that every other hosting service that I have used in 15 years were BAD! The difference so far has been like chalk and cheese.
Any serious WordPress site needs four things: security, speed, scalability, and service. Usually you can find a company that gives you one or two of these. Occasionally three, almost never four. WP Engine excels at all four. They are not just a hosting company, they are your partners in success. I’m always raving about them and give them my absolute best recommendation. On a scale of one to ten, I give them an eleven!
My site was under attack from a Distributed Denial of Service attack on my old shared host. I was getting 1.5 million requests per hour that took my site down and 20 other sites who were also hosting on the same server. It took the old host three days to identify the problem, and even then offered no real solution. I switched to WP Engine and within hours the DDOS was dealt with *and* my website was loading about four times faster. I definitely recommend WP Engine!
WP Engine knows how to optimize for WordPress and it shows everyday!
The WP Engine support has been excellent. I now see the difference between paying $5 or $10 per month for hosting vs a group that charges $29+ but specializes in WordPress and delivers fast, reliable support. Well worth my investment.
WP Engine is not only a good hosting provider but has also a great and fast support!
It’s nice to concern ourselves with the content and growth of our blog rather than trying to be our own IT department
We had an expensive server that we had to maintain because we needed plugins and scalability. WP Engine let us leave that box, keep our plugins and still scale.
WP Engine support rocks. Ultimately, you get what you pay for. I know first hand their support rocks, they’ve have tolerated me all this time.
I self-hosted WordPress for years until I started experiencing crashes every time a post made it to the first page of Hacker News. I switched to WP Engine right before speaking at a major event. Not only did my blog survive the traffic spike, but I’ve doubled the number of subscribers since then and haven’t experienced a single outage yet. It’s nice to pay someone to handle all the hosting BS that we’re no good at. They’re WordPress Pros.
WP Engine has amazing customer support, and if you contact these guys for anything. They will respond quickly and friendly. One of WP Engine’s philosophies is, “Kicking ass at your job is the only salesforce we need,” and I think WP Engine exemplifies that.” After all is said and done, WP Engine is a solid host, and now my host of choice for any new web development projects I have
After using upwards of 7 different hosting companies plus experiencing many other hosting environments with our clients I can say that for hosting WordPress websites, WP Engine is second to none. All the team are extremely passionate and they are doing amazing things, I’m really keep to see where they are headed.
