This weeks featured Advertiser is WordPress hosting specialists, WP Engine. They decided to do things differently and asked me to list exactly why I chose them to host the onepagelove.com website.
There are so many but I shortened the list to these:
1 – Unlimited Free Bandwidth
One Page Love users burn 36.2GB of bandwidth per day! Yup, that’s over 1TB per month and WP Engine don’t charge us anything for bandwidth. Zero, zip, ziltch…
2 – On-Demand Backups and Restore Points
Whenever I update a WordPress plugin I always make a quick on-demand backup first. You won’t believe how easy it is to restore when your 3rd party plugin messes something up. I’m talking 2-clicks in the WP Engine user dashboard and perfectly back to normal:
Also if you have a big WordPress install, WP Engine kindly mail you when it’s ready. One Page Love takes roughly 18 seconds:
It’s probably worth adding here that WP Engine do the courtesy of a daily backup for you. This means if you run into trouble at least you can “roll back” your website within the last 24hrs.
3. WordPress Auto-Updates
When a new version of WordPress is ready, WP Engine will upgrade your WordPress with good warning beforehand. This helps ensure you don’t get “hacked” with older WordPress code that becomes more vulnerable over time.
This feature is such a lifesaver if you travel. I was offline once for 2 days and they rolled out a quick WordPress update when an serious vulnerability was spotted a security patch release. I’ll add here too that they always backup your site before the auto-upgrades to play it safe, dig that.

Ok, yup, as you can see I’m a WP Engine fan boy:)
At the end of the day when you stop worrying about hosting, you start focusing on everything that really matters.
Hope this was useful.
Cheers,
Rob
