Flywheel Reviews and Expert Opinion

Uptime & Reliability

Very Stable Hosting

It doesn’t seem that there is any type of uptime guarantee, but that doesn’t mean you will have problems.  They use high quality hardware in very nice data centers, which will help give you a great overall experience.  Most people who use this service have reported that they are very happy with the stability of their sites.  In addition, they have full site backups, malware monitoring and other features that will help ensure your site is up and available for your visitors at all times.

Features

Easy to Understand Features

Looking through the features page (which is actually under the pricing heading) you will see that they have everything laid out nicely.  They don’t do things like most other hosting companies, which may be a little confusing at first, but it makes sense once you get used to it.  First, you can pay per site, which means you can choose a package that allows just one WordPress install on it.  Within this category there are four levels ranging from ‘Tiny’ to Custom. The tiny package allows up to 5000 monthly visitors, 5 gigs of disk space and 250 gigs of bandwidth.

The ‘Professional’ package provides up to 100,000 visitors, 20 gigs of disk space and 1TB of bandwidth.  If you need more than that you can choose a custom option that can support virtually unlimited traffic and however much disk space you need.

If you are going to be making lots of sites, you can move up to their bulk plan, which provides higher limits and either 10, 30 or more than 30 installs of WordPress.  This is a good option for people who are running multiple sites or hosting resellers.

Support

24/7 Tech Support Available

The tech support is around 24/7/365 to help you with any issues you are having.  They offer fully managed hosting, which means they not only handle any hardware issues, but they can help with software problems too.  There are a lot of documents, videos and other information on their site too, which can help keep you informed about how to do things and what type of services you are getting.

Pricing

Slightly Overpriced Hosting

The hosting at each level is a little more expensive than what you would expect to see.  For example, the entry level package for a single site will cost you $15 per month.  It is true that you do get nice hosting and quality features at this level, but it is still above the industry average.  As you move up in features, the prices will naturally go up as well.  At every level it looks like the prices are just a little above average. This is not to say that they are ripping you off, just that if cost is a major factor for you, there are cheaper options.

User Friendly

Very Friendly Corporate Culture

This company is focused on providing their customers with an excellent service.  They are extremely friendly whenever you work with them.  When you look through their list of employees you will even find that they have people employed as ‘Happiness Engineers.’  While it is not clear what exactly that is, it does seem obvious that they take being a good company for customers and employees seriously.  Their site is configured nicely for easy navigating too, which is very important for all user friendly companies.

Summary

Overall Excellent Hosting Solution

This is really a very nice hosting company. They do things differently than most other options, which is not necessarily a bad thing.  So far I have only seen happy customers that are satisfied with their overall experience.

Pros:

• Very Stable
• User Friendly Company
• Custom Hosting Options

Cons:

• Over Priced
• Only Focused on WordPress Hosting
