Welcome to WP Engine’s system status page. If you want to keep on top of any disruptions in service to our WP platform, support services, or product features, this is the page to check. We report major outages to this status page. This is great feature if you want to see if your server is down or what is the issue with wp engine hosting you can check wp engine system status.
Malicious code can embed itself into a website by writing to the file-system. This occurs when a vulnerability is present in a theme or plugin that leaves the door open for malicious injection. The WP Engine environment limits the processes that can write to disk. So even if you’re using a theme or a plugin with a vulnerability, it is harder for them to be exploited.
If you run a small business that doesn't require enterprise-class WordPress hosting, I suggest checking out A2, the category's co-Editors' Choice. The Linux-based A2 offers four excellent WordPress hosting tiers, starting at $7.99 per month, offers unlimited storage and monthly data transfers across the board. The plans top out with the $24.46 per month managed package that includes unlimited databases and websites.
