"Great website host"
4/5
What do you like best about Flywheel?

I really like the simple UX and it is great for people who are not very familiar with web technology. This host is very user friendly towards people who are looking for a simple website with no problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flywheel?

I dislike that a lot of the times we have to edit our website requires talking to flywheel support instead of us changing from within. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best hosting and development platform for Wordpress"
5/5
What do you like best about Flywheel?

Fast page load times, great support and hacking prevention. Very knowledgable staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flywheel?

Cost is high but worth it. Billing is a little clunky. No email with hosting, so have to host the domain and email elsewhere and point http traffic to their IP address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent straightforward WordPress hosting option"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Flywheel?

WordPress performance & security are outstanding on Flywheel. They also have the cleanest, most inviting dashboard UI of any host I've used. They only show you the options you actually need. They also make it easy for me as a developer to hand the site off to a client or billing admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flywheel?

There are times when I as a developer would like a little more control. Also, I wish all of their plans included staging, and it would be nice if the "development" period when setting up a new site was longer than 30 days. It usually takes me longer than that to take a site from start to launch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Clients Love Flywheel, and So Do I"
5/5
What do you like best about Flywheel?

For my personal sites I could use a more control over the technical aspects of my hosting, but for building sites for my clients their is no better option than Flywheel. They love the user interface, and I rest easy knowing that Flywheel's friendly support staff can answer any questions that they might have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flywheel?

I wish I had more individual control over my hosting, but that is a small price to pay for awesome support and service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent WordPress Hosting"
5/5
What do you like best about Flywheel?

Been using Flywheel for over 2 years now and absolutely love it! They make WordPress hosting extremely simple with a clean and modern designed user dashboard which is a refreshing change from using cPanel and other clunky hosting interfaces. This also helps with site management since I can easily see all my websites on a single screen, each with their own thumbnail image, giving each website a visual representation helping with organization.

All my sites on Flywheel are fast and have consistent reliable speeds. This is important when managing sites for clients, since the performance of their website reflects on my business and my reputation. With over 2 years of service, I've probably had less than 3 issues and all were solved very quickly. I also love the fact that they provide security monitoring and will help fix your site if you ever get hacked. No problems yet!

In addition to the simple UI and suburb hosting performance, there are several other small features that have greatly helped my productivity and efficiency when creating websites such as: one click restore, easy billing exchange for clients who want to run their own site after completion, one click add-ons like SSL/CDN/Multisite, the blueprint feature (which essentially allows you to clone sites), inviting collaborators, site staging, and other new features that seem to be released on a regular basis.

What do you dislike about Flywheel?

Some things I think Flywheel could improve upon is their support availability. They have amazing support and will even help with some WordPress related issues (which is nice). However, they have limited hours that you can call. I'm on their Agency plan (their highest plan) and it would be nice to get 24/7 calling or even hours that go beyond standard business hours.

My second issue is that they base their pricing based on how many sites you manage, so it can be expensive if you have a lot of sites that are small and don't use much resources. Since I work with small businesses, most of my sites have little to moderate traffic and use little storage space. Would be nice if they offered discounts to users who run small sites that use little resources and bandwidth, since that's the real cost of hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
