Price for the entry-level «Essential» plan (1 site), billed annually: $28.00/month, charged as $336.00 up front. Each additional site costs a further $20/month. WP Engine states this first-year price applies only to new customers and does not apply to renewals; the renewal amount is not disclosed on the page.

WP Engine is a managed hosting platform built exclusively for WordPress, founded in 2010 in Austin, Texas (United States). It does not sell generic shared hosting or offer cPanel: the whole environment — server, caching, PHP and WordPress updates — is managed by the company itself, which sets it apart from traditional hosting and also means less low-level control for anyone wanting to customise the server directly.

The entry-level Essential plan covers one site on shared resources and starts at $28.00 a month, billed annually ($336.00 charged up front); each additional site costs a further $20/month. It includes a free automated migration plugin, an auto-renewing SSL certificate, SSH access, automatic and on-demand backups retained for between 30 and 60 days, and a global CDN of its own alongside a proprietary caching system called «EverCache». WP Engine's published SLA guarantees 99.95% availability; the higher Core and Enterprise tiers advertise 99.99%, an improvement not available on the Essential plan. The company does not state on its public pages how many data centres it runs or in which countries, nor a specific money-back guarantee period, so anyone for whom these points matter should confirm them directly with sales before signing up.
