Got Questions?

• Is there a trial period available for EasyEngine + WP Cloud?

  Yes, EasyEngine offers a free plan with 2 sites, and WP Cloud supports free trial periods and a “try now, pay later” model.
  
  

• Who is the WP Cloud + EasyEngine integration built for?

  The integration is designed for technical WordPress professionals who need powerful development tools combined with enterprise hosting infrastructure:

  Primary Targets:

  • Web hosts: Hosts can add WP Cloud tiers without having to build out new infrastructure to support it. Often this means adding new premium tiers. Conversely, managed WordPress hosts with premium tiers partner with WP Cloud to offer lower-priced tiers,
  • Domain Registrars and resellers: Web hosting is a higher margin business than domain sales and is a natural offering.
  • Agency Admins: Technical leads at web agencies managing multiple client sites and development workflows
  • DevOps Teams: Technical professionals handling WordPress deployments, scaling, and infrastructure management
  • Freelance Site Developers: Solo developers building client WordPress sites who need professional-grade hosting without server management overhead
  • Indie Hackers: Solo entrepreneurs launching WordPress projects who want enterprise performance without enterprise complexity

  Solves the Infrastructure Challenge:

  • EasyEngine provides powerful CLI tools but traditionally requires server management
  • WP Cloud’s API offers enterprise hosting but needs technical integration
  • The integration combines both: EasyEngine’s developer tools + WP Cloud’s managed infrastructure
  • Eliminates the need to provision and maintain servers while keeping developer control

  Technical Use Cases:

  • Client Site Management: Deploy and manage multiple WordPress sites with consistent workflows
  • Development Workflows: Git-based deployments, staging environments, and local-to-production sync
  • Performance Optimization: WordPress-specific tuning without manual server configuration
  • Scalable Architecture: Handle traffic spikes automatically while maintaining development flexibility

  Ideal for Developers Who:

  • Want powerful CLI tools without server administration
  • Need to scale client sites without infrastructure management
  • Require professional development workflows (Git, staging, SSH access)
  • Serve clients needing enterprise performance with developer-friendly tools

  Result: Technical WordPress professionals get the best of both worlds: sophisticated development tools with enterprise-grade managed hosting, letting them focus on building great sites rather than managing servers.

• How does the EasyEngine + WP Cloud integration compare to traditional hosting?

  The integration combines EasyEngine’s powerful site management tools with WP Cloud’s optimized infrastructure, offering significant advantages over traditional hosting:

  Performance & Infrastructure:

  • WP Cloud: Auto-scaled SSD storage with WordPress-tuned servers vs. shared CPUs on generic hardware
  • EasyEngine: Command-line tools for rapid site deployment and optimization
  • Result vs. traditional hosting: Faster sites with easier management than traditional hosting

  Operational Simplicity:

  • WP Cloud: No server maintenance required, 99.999%+ uptime with global failover
  • EasyEngine: Automated site provisioning, SSL management, and staging environments
  • Traditional hosting: Requires manual server management and usually lacks failover protection

  WordPress-Specific Features:

  • WP Cloud: Native WordPress optimizations, built-in CDN, included DDoS protection
  • EasyEngine: WordPress-focused commands, plugin management, and development workflows
  • Traditional hosting: Manual tuning required, CDN and security usually cost extra

  Developer Experience:

  • EasyEngine: Git-based deployments, WP-CLI integration, local development sync
  • WP Cloud: API-based provisioning, SSH access, advanced monitoring
  • Traditional hosting: Limited automation, complex deployment processes

  Cost Structure:

  • Integrated solution: Pay only for infrastructure used. Transparent pricing
  • Traditional hosting: Hidden upsells, fixed costs regardless of actual usage

  Key Advantages: EasyEngine handles the technical complexity while WP Cloud provides enterprise-grade infrastructure, eliminating the trade-offs between power and simplicity found in traditional hosting.

  This combination is ideal for developers and agencies who want sophisticated tools and enterprise grade hosting without infrastructure management overhead.

• Do I need separate accounts for EasyEngine and WP Cloud?

  Yes, you need a WP Cloud account for hosting and an EasyEngine account for dashboard access, but they integrate seamlessly. The integration makes them work together seamlessly:

  Required Setup:

  • EasyEngine account: Provides access to the management dashboard, server provisioning tools, and site deployment features.
  • WP Cloud account: Handles the underlying WordPress hosting infrastructure, scaling, and performance optimization.
  • API connection: Links both accounts to enable automated provisioning and management.

  How the Integration Works:

  • Sign up for EasyEngine to access their command-line tools and web dashboard.
  • Create a separate WP Cloud account for hosting services and once approved request an API key.
  • Connect the accounts through API credentials provided by both platforms.
  • Once linked, deploy and manage WP Cloud-hosted sites directly from EasyEngine’s interface.

  Seamless Experience:

  • Create WordPress sites from EasyEngine that automatically provision on WP Cloud infrastructure.
  • Monitor site performance, resource usage, and scaling from the EasyEngine dashboard.
  • Handle SSL certificates, domain management, and backups through unified controls.
  • Deploy staging environments and manage multiple sites without switching platforms.

  Account Management:

  • Keep both accounts active and in good standing for uninterrupted service.
  • Billing remains separate (EasyEngine for dashboard/tools, WP Cloud for hosting resources).
  • Support may involve both teams depending on whether issues are infrastructure or management-related.
  • User permissions and team access configured in both platforms.

  The two-account requirement ensures you get the best of both platforms while maintaining a streamlined workflow for WordPress development and hosting.
