WP Engine

WP Engine is a managed WordPress host offering a high quality WP hosting experience.

We recommend this service for a variety of reasons, but not least:

Excellent support – seriously good support, click “live chat” in WP Engine and you’ll get someone talking to you really fast. You don’t have to phone up and wait for hours(!) listening to hold music. Just get some support. Now.
Fast – the setup is fast, and works pretty well for most “standard” WordPress installations – but you will need to watch if you have a heavily customized site or an online store to check your caching.
PHP7 Friendly – you can host your site in PHP7, which is better all ends up than 5.6 or an older (no longer supported) version of PHP.

Please note Silicon Dales are affiliates of WP Engine and we may be paid for referring new customers to their platform.
