What WP Engine is
WP Engine is managed WordPress hosting. It gives you fast servers, staging environments, daily backups and a security team watching the platform.
Our WP Engine partnership
We're a Preferred Partner in WP Engine's agency program. WP Engine has no public partner listing, so there's no page to link to.
In practice, environments, transfers and escalations get handled by people rather than a queue.
What we run on WP Engine
Development and staging first
We work in development and staging before anything reaches production, so your team reviews changes on a real URL instead of approving a screenshot.
Site transfers
We move your site onto WP Engine and handle the cutover. RDCK's rebuild moved 240 pages with zero broken links.
Monitoring after launch
Redirects are mapped before launch. Afterward we watch 404s and Search Console.
Few plugins, safe updates
Every block is code we wrote and your developers can read. With fewer plugins, updates are quick and safe to apply.
Good hosting can't fix a bad build
WP Engine gives you fast servers, real staging environments, daily backups and a security team watching the platform. It can't fix what's inside the theme. Most WordPress sites that feel slow and fragile have thirty plugins stacked on a purchased theme, and caching only hides that for a while.
How we build the theme itself is covered on our WordPress page.
Why teams choose WP Engine
Less work for your IT team
Server management and platform updates are WP Engine's job.
Separate environments
Development, staging and production are kept apart, so changes are tested before they go live.
Daily backups
If something breaks, there's a recent copy to restore.
A security team
WP Engine monitors the platform for threats.
Support from people
Problems go to a person who knows the platform.
When we'd pick something else
If your procurement or data residency rules need Canadian hosting, we'd host elsewhere. For a very small site, managed hosting can cost more than it saves.
Because it's still WordPress, the site can move if you outgrow WP Engine or your rules change.
Also on WP Engine

Questions about WP Engine
Can you move our site to WP Engine?
Yes. We set up the environments, transfer the site, map redirects before launch and monitor afterward.
What does WP Engine cost compared with regular hosting?
It usually costs more than basic shared hosting, and the extra covers staging, backups and support. We'll compare the options for your site before you decide.
Do you handle updates and security on WP Engine?
Yes. We handle plugin and theme updates and keep plugins to a minimum, which is where most security problems start. More in our post on WordPress plugin security.
Where are WP Engine's servers?
WP Engine offers a choice of data centre locations. If your data has to stay in a particular region, tell us and we'll confirm the options before we plan the move.
Already on WP Engine, or headed there?
Tell us about the site you run now. We'll tell you whether WP Engine is the right fit, and whether we're the right people.
