@meretricious ouch Been looking for a good dedicated / cloud host with decent support. Any recommendations? Not Siteground.

@dialysis136 the hosting itself doesn’t seem too bad. It’s all the proprietary bullshit and shit support that ruins it. I’ve been with liquidweb for years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. It’s brilliant

Depends on what you need. Neither is my favorite, if you want managed hosting I'd go with Kinsta. If you want general WP hosting a rented VPS tends to give you a solid bang for your buck.

I'd say pricewise/solutionwise the best balance has been siteground

Amongst those 2, it's wpx hosting. Especially if it's a global site. Main reason is wpx gives you a firewall and cdn cache everything setup all included. It runs very well

I would go for Kinsta. Ultra fast, simple to manage and great support.

I have sites on Kinsta and Wp-Engine, so far I haven't had any problems with wp-engine but Kinsta is much superior, I think about migrating everything there soon.

WPX is very nice imo. Their customer support is also super fast and excellent.

Either imo, check out this:  We have been using the number one on the list for a 1-2 years now and are really happy with the speed and customer support. They will help you with issues that are not even about hosting!

I've never tried WPX, but from what I have read, they are probably much better :)

Both are good but for the price WPX is fantastic

WPX is great for the pricing. I have done some speed testing on it, though. It is slower than GoDaddy with the same site.

Hi @luzon, I've actually used both. I went with WPEngine first (I didn't know WPX existed) and was a fan of them. They were easy to work with and pretty fast, especially coming over from BH. After reading some tests that WPX was faster and much cheaper, I decided to switch. I ended up transferring 3 or 4 sites over to WPX (they did the transfer for all the sites for free within 24 hours). I ended up saving $900 per year! And yes, WPX was indeed faster! WPX has instant support (no wait times) and unlimited emails included. I was disappointed with WPE that after paying so much money, I still didn't have email. They did have an easy staging area which helped when I was working on some special projects, but I don't really need it now. I would certainly choose WPX. They are faster, cheaper, and have better support. Plus things like a fast CDN and unlimited emails is important to me as well.
