It’s pretty frustrating when your website is hacked. Your site is one of the key investments you’ll make for your business. Don’t be seduced by the cheap (and frustrating) hosting at GoDaddy, Bluehost, and other big companies. You get what you pay for.
Every site is vulnerable to hackers and their malware (even my own site and several client sites have been hacked!). Out-of-date site software not only invites trouble but can incur ranking penalties from Google. I don’t worry about hacking anymore, though – I’ve found what I’m pretty sure is the best hosting ever and I offer it to all my new web clients.

Why Flywheel?
The managed hosting offered by Flywheel is 100% worth it. Here are six reasons why their hosting is the best:
EVERYTHING IS TAKEN CARE OF FOR YOU
WordPress updates, security, performance, you name it – it’s handled. In the long run, this absolutely winds up saving you time, money, IT resources, and so much more.
YOUR SITE GETS ITS OWN DEDICATED RESOURCES
With this platform (powered by Google Cloud!), you don’t share resources like you do on shared hosting. This means no one’s site will interfere with your performance or security – it’s safe and sound.
FLYWHEEL HOSTING IS REALLY FAST
Flywheel tunes their servers for optimal WordPress performance and configures all the caching, so you don’t have to set up caching plugins or worry about your site speed.
TOP-NOTCH SECURITY
Flywheel is on top of the latest security vulnerabilities and will proactively block threats whenever they can. And IF (and that’s a big “if”!) your site is somehow compromised, they’ll fix it for free.
WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK
With me and Flywheel, you have the best 24/7 support around via live chat, phone, or email. If you need to chat with them, you’ll get a real live human on the other end (not just some robot).
IT’S EASY TO STAY INVOLVED
Their platform is built to create a better workflow between us. For example: we can transfer the billing of your site without sharing passwords or credit card info.

Flywheel Pros & Cons
Flywheel delivers a 99.99% uptime for your site, with superb customer service
The only managed hosting platform that’s recommended by WordPress.org
Highest rated in WordPress support – 4.9 / 5
Extremely reliable, with a near-perfect reliability rank in a recent survey – 4.8 / 5
Flywheel does only WordPress hosting, so you’ll need to host your domain name and email account elsewhere (I recommend Hover and Zoho)
NOTE: You are, of course, free to choose your own hosting provider as part of our web design project, but any tech support issues will need to be addressed by you or a member of your team.
If you purchase my hosting package, you’ll keep your email hosting and domain ownership where it is. I recommend Hover for domains and Zoho for email account hosting (free for up to 25 users!).
