WP Engine - Hosting Isn’t Hosting If You Run Wordpress

You Know Speed = More Sales, Right?

Lightning speed online means revenue boosts


When it comes to making sales, performance in your website is of paramount importance.


Speed and reliability means people have initial confidence in your front line entity and continue to look further at what you offer.


So, the hosting platform you choose is critical for your online business.


Back Story


Most of you know I was the VP of Customer Technical Support many years ago, for WebCentral.


To be honest, WebCentral saw explosive growth for being in the right place at the right time – the beginning of businesses getting onto the Internet and needing hosting space.


A lot of water has past under the bridge since I left back in 2005 and WebCentral has a reasonably tarnished name these days too. Why? Typical reasoning being their focus is their bottom line – classic business screw up.


But I digress. I wanted to tell you about an emerging hosting company that is concentrating it’s efforts on just WordPress powered sites – WP Engine.


Just WordPress, You Say?


The vast majority of business related websites that continue to push the boundaries in Internet Marketing run on WordPress. That’s a fact, despite some of you disagreeing towards the benefits of competing platform of Joomla, Drupal or whatever else.


If you run or thinking of entering into the Online Business fray, you’ll consider WordPress to be at the top of your list as the base infrastructure.


That being the case, the hosting platform to run on is the next consideration.


I recently had cause to investigate hosting platforms – and since I had over 9 years in webhosting expertise myself, I had the ‘chops’ to seek the answers to the right questions.


The main focus needed to be around:


  • Performance

  • Reliability

  • Insanely Fast and Scalable

  • No Messing Around with Caching – It just Needed to Work

  • WordPress Experts – that means everybody had the one focus

I love Hostgator for small start-up sites but when it came to business critical, money making sites with 25,000 visits per month, Hostgator starts to lose credibility and their support wanes in expertise.


Enter WP-Engine


These guys smash their competition – they really do!


Look, if you’re just starting out, jump onto Hostgator, with consideration for WP Engine once the site starting gathering some wind.


If you’re looking to start off with the big boys from the start OR don’t want to mess with website transfers down the road then WP Engine will be your best bet.


Even their small cost Personal Plan is extremely attractive and made for the client I was looking after – upgrading was going to be a snap, down the line.


WP-Engine Personal Plan


  • 25,000 visits p/m

  • Unlimited Data Transfer

  • 10Gb Local Storage – WOW!

  • Managed Upgrades

  • Daily Backups – Total Bonus

  • Even One-Click Restore-Points – Essential for a Potential Failed Update

  • Enterprise Architecture

  • NO Messy Caching Plugins to worry about

  • International Data-centres with Matching Hardware

  • No Lockin Period AND a Money Back Guarantee

  • … Plus Firewalls, Malware Scanning and that superb WordPress Expertise Support

Bottom Line = Faster Sites Equal More Profit


As I said, if you’re gunning for lightning fast hosting so a potential client hangs around to but, WP Engine should be your first choice to consider.


Let me know what you think once you check them out.

Is Masturbation Healthy? Taking Matters Into My Own Hands With Joy

Image
I Did It Myyyy Way! Masturbation is healthy and women can do it too ! Since my marriage fell apart and I ultimately got divorced, I have found myself changing, learning, and growing in ways I didn’t expect. Thanks to my loving friends and family , a solid therapist , and my blog, I have been staring down my past and sorting what it means for my future. Perhaps the most exciting and unexpected change in my life was posing the question: ‘Is Masturbation Healthy?’ and then my discovery of masturbation. I was in a sexless relationship for seven years. My ex-husband loved and still loves me, but he couldn’t be intimate with me, despite our efforts with erectile dysfunction drugs and multiple therapists. He rarely touched me in a sexual way, and when he did, it was clear that he was just waiting for it to be over. This was devastating. Now you would think I would take matters into my own hands and masturbate. Well, I really can’t explain why, but I didn’...
