WP Engine Promotions
Oct17
Given the egregious legal attacks by WP Engine against WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg, a number of their customers have been looking for alternative hosting, and in return a number of hosts have created specials and promotions for WP Engine customers looking to migrate to a host that has great relations with WordPress.org. Here they are, in alphabetical order.
We’ll update this post if any new offers come online, get in touch and we’ll link it.
- Bluehost will cover migration costs, and credit back your existing contract. They offer 24/7 phone support, you can call them at 844-699-3907. Their wp.cloud-powered Cloud hosting starts at $29.99/mo.
- DreamHost is offering free migrations, with plans starting at $16.95/mo.
- Nexcess has plans starting at $21/mo.
- Pressable will credit back your current WP Engine contract and match their pricing, so if you’re in the middle of a long contract with WP Engine, you don’t need to wait until your renewal time.
