Cons
- - WordPress-only — no other runtimes or static hosting
- - Visit and bandwidth metering with tier jumps; additional sites cost $20/month each
- - No first-party uptime SLA we could find; 99.9% is third-party reporting
- - WP Engine ownership brings consolidation pressure and WordPress-ecosystem dependency risk
- - Bulk plans pin all sites to one server; less enterprise headroom than WP Engine proper
Templ

- - Bandwidth included is small (10-160 GB pooled per account) with automatic $0.20/GB overage
- - No published uptime SLA; availability commitment is reputational rather than contractual
