FlywheelReviews of getflywheel.com

I use flywheel for my website. So far, everything’s been great but have been made aware of the negative reviews on here. I may or may not have issues in the future, but only time can tell. This is why I’m giving it 3 stars.

I used to love Flywheel - despite the slightly higher price point they have always had awesome support and excellent uptime... But since WP Engine took over, that's gone downhill. - More downtime - Slower support - More salesy... I seem to have a new 'account manager' every month trying to push some upsell or add-on. It still has a great dashboard and SendGrid email deliverability which is handy, but not enough to keep me as a customer. I'll be moving all of my websites to a new host that has better performance and costs less.

NOT production ready. The whole idea is to have 1-click deployments but should you need to, 9/10 when you upload your database with the push, it does not update the links so your live users get 'localhost' links. Flywheel's response: "it happens sometimes, you will have to use a plugin to replace them yourself". So much for 1-click deployments! I am in the process of moving away my 2 companies (20+ websites) away from this service. Its not worth the money when you get these issues. My account manager doesn't respond when I have an issue, only to 'keep in touch'. I bet if I was to upsale they would return my emails.

Wow, I've used many hosts, and my new jobs sites are hosted on flywheel and was excited to give it a go, but VERY disappointed! Back forth with chat for an hour and got nowhere! (update) If you are willing to wait and keep trying you will get someone who will really help you. My problem is that this should not take so long and chat can be harder to convey and work with problems. I got my issues fixed finally.
