Top 5 Hosting Advantages with Pronto
Powered by Kinsta, Pronto hosting services offer its clients 20% faster load times. Conversely, WP Engine, due to its high volume of clients, has overcrowded servers and enforces CPU limits on shared hosting.
Pronto sites are equipped with a self-healing PHP feature, and we monitor all sites on our infrastructure for uptime 720 times per day. On WP Engine, site monitoring is only available on Premium and Enterprise plans.
Pronto customers enjoy a free Cloudflare integration powered with enterprise-level firewall and DDoS protection on all plans. WP Engine plans don’t include firewall protection unless you purchase their Global Edge Security add-on.
Pronto has 35 data centers (and counting). This means you can choose the data center that makes sense for your website with no extra fees or hidden charges.
Pronto support agents take care of your site’s backend, updating plugins and ensuring your data is secure at all times. WP Engine instead automates these critical updates, leaving room for unexpected errors.
Can you afford WP Engine’s hands-off maintenance approach?
WP Engine’s hands-off security and uptime monitoring will leave your website at risk of sudden downtime, unwanted site access, and potential attacks. The result of each of these threats can cost you up to hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars.
Pronto, on the other hand, prioritizes uptime monitoring, premium security measures, and updates by humans.
While you run your business, our WordPress specialists will keep your site updated and secure at all times — at no extra cost.

“Pronto is prompt, easy to work with, and demystifies the process of website building and marketing. Couldn't be happier with the team and experiences. I've recommended them to several of my solo practitioner lawyer buddies.”

“Literally the best web and marketing team on the planet. I have worked with 5+ other firms over the years and when I finally found pronto it was like a breath of fresh air. I have been with them for 6 years now and have done many projects with them.”

“We are delighted with the service Pronto provides to our company. They promptly reply to our requests every time we submit a ticket. Our communications had been via email in most cases, and if you know how to explain yourself, they will get the job done very well. If you rather talk to someone, you can schedule a call with a rep.”
