and Performance<\/h2>\n<p>While both WP Engine and Hosting.com offer excellent website speed and performance, in our testing Hosting.com&#8217;s Managed WordPress does post faster speed and performance times.  Hosting.com&#8217;s turbo servers and optimized WordPress environment really made a difference.  And, we found Hosting.com provided more consistently impressive website speed results.<\/p>\n<p>In my personal experience using both WP Engine and Hosting.com, I also have to report that I\u2019m more than satisfied with the speed offered by both of these web hosts.  However, if you\u2019re looking for the more consistent faster website provider, Hosting.com is the winner.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of our sample speed test results:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Hosting-com-Speed-Test-Results-1.jpg\" alt=\"Hosting.com Speed Test Results\" width=\"1024\" height=\"394\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Hosting-com-Speed-Test-Results-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Hosting-com-Speed-Test-Results-1-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Hosting-com-Speed-Test-Results-1-768x296.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WP-Engine-Speed-Test-Results.jpg\" alt=\"WP Engine Speed Test Results\" width=\"1024\" height=\"440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WP-Engine-Speed-Test-Results.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WP-Engine-Speed-Test-Results-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/WP-Engine-Speed-Test-Results-768x330.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hosting.com vs WP Engine:  Website Staging<\/h2>\n<p>While WP Engine has long provided one of the best staging environments, we were very surprised that Hosting.com&#8217;s managed WordPress hosting includes equally impressive website staging features.  The staging from both of these web hosts worked out perfectly for us, and therefore we have to call it a tie in this category.<\/p>\n<h2>Hosting.com vs WP Engine:  Data Backup and Restore<\/h2>\n<p>WP Engine not only provides automatic daily backups, but you also get their Snapshot Backup capability\u2014meaning you can choose to create a backup copy whenever you wish.  The process comes in very handy when you need to upgrade a theme or plugin.  You can quickly and easily create a backup copy just in case something goes wrong.  <\/p>\n<p>Hosting.com also provides automatic data backup.  However, it isn&#8217;t quite as extensive as WP Engine.  Likewise, while there is on-demand backup capability with Hosting.com, the functionality may differ depending on the particular hosting plan you have (for example, cPanel backups, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>So, in this category, WP Engine is the winner.<\/p>\n<h2>Hosting.com vs WP Engine:  Customer Support<\/h2>\n<p>Hosting.com and WP Engine both have quality customer support teams.  However, the response time at WP Engine is now superior.  And, when it comes to managed WordPress hosting, keep in mind that WP Engine focuses exclusively on WordPress.  Here, WP Engine gets the advantage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"one-half first\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/A2HostingManagedWP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Hosting-com-300.png\" alt=\"Hosting.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"68\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25075\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/a2-hosting-managed-wordpress-review\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hosting.com<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Plans:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Starter ($11.99 mo.)<br \/>\n1 Website\/15GB Storage<\/li>\n<li>Plus ($11.99 mo.)<br \/>\n1 Website\/30GB Storage<\/li>\n<li>Pro ($24.99 mo.)<br \/>\n1 Website\/50GB Storage<\/li>\n<li>Max ($29.99 mo.)<br \/>\n1 Website\/100GB Storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Data Center:<\/strong>  Dallas, TX; London, UK; Frankfurt, DE; Singapore, SG; Toronto, CN; Mexico City, MX; Mumbai, IN<br \/>\n<strong>Free Domain?:<\/strong>  No<br \/>\n<strong>Money Back Guarantee:<\/strong>  30 Days<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of Hosting.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Faster Turbo Servers provided on every plan.<\/li>\n<li>Includes Email Accounts<\/li>\n<li>WordPress LiteSpeed Cache<\/li>\n<li>WordPress Toolkit for managing Multiple Websites<\/li>\n<li>No Restrictions on Plugins<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/A2HostingManagedWP\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here for More Details on Hosting.com Managed WordPress<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"one-half\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/WPEngine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/WP-Engine.png\" alt=\"WP Engine\" width=\"325\" height=\"86\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/WP-Engine.png 325w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/WP-Engine-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/WP-Engine-324x86.png 324w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/wp-engine-review\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">WP Engine<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Plans:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Startup ($20 mo.)<br \/>\n1 Website<\/li>\n<li>Professional ($39 mo.)<br \/>\n3 Websites<\/li>\n<li>eCommerce ($50 mo.)<br \/>\n3 Websites<\/li>\n<li>Growth ($77 mo.)<br \/>\n10 Websites<\/li>\n<li>Scale ($193 mo.)<br \/>\n30 Websites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Data Centers:<\/strong>  U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia<br \/>\n<strong>Free Domain?:<\/strong>  No<br \/>\n<strong>Money Back Guarantee:<\/strong>  60 Days<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advantages of WP Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WordPress Hosting Specialist<\/li>\n<li>Faster Performance with Google Cloud Platform Virtual Machines.<\/li>\n<li>Proprietary EverCache Technology<\/li>\n<li>Transferable Installs and Billing Transfer<\/li>\n<li>Page Performance Diagnostics<\/li>\n<li>Enterprise Solutions Available<\/li>\n<li>Expert WordPress Customer Support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/webhostingcat.com\/WPEngine\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click Here for More Details on WP Engine Managed WordPress<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\n<h2>Recommendation<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to managed WordPress hosting, WP Engine remains the standard by which others are compared to.

While this comparison is close, overall WP Engine is the winner here.
