WP Engine is a fully managed web host exclusive to WordPress. The hosting platform makes it easy for you to focus on the design and development of your site, while the backend is managed – such as security protection, automatic daily backups, caching, 24/7 support and core WordPress updates. Also include are developer tools, the Genesis framework, StudioPress themes, SSL certificates and CDN at no additional cost.

Managed WordPress hosting means that we provide an already installed instance of WordPress ready to use immediately. We essentially give you time back in your day to focus on business and not have to worry about managing the server side of your site. The WordPress install comes already configured for your domain, optimized for speed and scalability, and with automatic nightly backups. No installations, no messing around with MySQL databases, no fuss, no hassle.

Yes, Skytomato offers Website Design and Website Maintenance plans and we partnered with WP Engine to give you the best of both world.

WP Engine web hosting platform focus on the backend of your site, while you focus on the content design and development. We provide automated tools and make it easy for you to update your themes and plugins through the WordPress repository.

Since WPEngine offer a platform as a service, and manage the nuts and bolts of our clients’ sites and hardware, they do not provide technical specs, regardless of plan size. WP Engine are responsible for the the core updates as well as the uptime, security, maintenances, patching, scalability, backups, caching and speed.

What I would think about is all that is involved to be where you’d be by just signing up with WP Engine. Renting a server, building the whole software stack to run WordPress, and making sure it’s optimized for WP, including a system to manage installs, adding security that is designed for WordPress, backing up the sites, doing WordPress updates, and not having 24/7 Support. What happens if there is an issue and your engineer isn’t available?

Most hosting companies are essentially hardware providers. You lease a small amount of hardware resources, but it’s a blank slate. So you get notoriously poor server efficiency, yielding slow speeds, no scalability, lackluster security… and it doesn’t take much to overwork that solution.

With WP Engine, it’s all about the PLATFORM – the software on the server, proprietary caching layers, NGINX front-end, etc. This is our “secret sauce” and that’s why the average WP site is 4x faster on our platform than other shared hosts and vastly more scalable and secure.

And, the PEOPLE – the most WordPress experts per customer of any host in the industry. We oversee that platform, managing critical server and WP-related tasks (so you can just focus on content) and providing world-class, prompt, competent Support whenever you have a problem.
