One very important question to get answered. “If I get hacked, what support to you offer ?”
What is Important ?
One very important decision point is how technical are you ? When things to wrong with a WordPress site, the problem can get very complex very quickly. I have been in the website world since 2000 and I am still overwhelmed by the complexity of some problems.
I assume if you are reading this, you are a woodworker, and very likely a technical person. But what would you prefer doing ?
In my video I talk about three major concerns of hosting.
- Stability
- Security
- Speed
Some of these three are can only be provided by you hosting service, some can be provided by you with WordPress Plugins.
Before my move to WP Engine, I added three main WP Plugins:
- For Backups: UpDraft Plus
- For Security: WordFence Premium $59 per year
- For Speed: W3 Total Cache
After my move to WP Engine all three of these plugins were removed.

The Bottom line.
For me, I was just tired of dealing with technical issues and what I considered not really great speed. I looked at the total amount of time and money I was spending, made some decision about exactly what I wanted for my web presence and made the jump to WP Engine.

First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I’d
like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center
yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my
thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing
however it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
or hints? Kudos!
