Pros from Real Users Pros Scalahosting has been good for me, and I’ve had a positive experience using their service for one of my websites. The customer support team is always available and ready to help, which I really appreciate. Great hosting and network speed. The uptime has been amazing so far! Prices are affordable for me. Like them. Scalahosting provided incredible support. Every one of their team is excellent. Their 24/7 live chat support is incredible. They were helpful and patient throughout the whole process of setting up my Wordpress blog. I appreciate your help. ScalaHosting is one of the most professional web hosts I have used. It's fast, has great tools, but the best thing is their support. They always provide prompt and thorough guidance and usually have the right answer when I need help. I regularly monitor the stability of my websites, and so far the uptime has been around 99.99%, with 100% uptime last month. I also haven’t seen any network outages or packet loss in my monitoring. I have used the 24/7 support chat several times, and every experience has been a positive one. They are active and helpful. I had a nice, clean, and easy online checkout experience. The services and pricing were easy to find, choosing a plan was straightforward, and the checkout process was quick and simple. The available tools were easy to use, and both the customer service and technical support teams were very helpful. They resolved my technical issue very quickly. Their hosting services are beyond par, especially given their very reasonable pricing. Uptime is high.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros WP Engine provides all in one package for the WordPress website. WP Engine is bundle of feature and service which provides from Site building to Management and Security of the website all from single package. It has basically 4 parts which are - - Agility - Integration - Performance - Intelligence I dislike this hosting provider. It's not reliable. And is very overpriced. Go elsewhere if you want hosting. Cons WP Engine is an awesome package of all the service which one needs to create, manage a WordPress website. Overpriced, would go down and support is non-existent.
