Hi guys

Ive been using WP-Engine for about 4 years now to host 1 wordpress site I run.

The traffic has dropped dramatically over the past 18 months, as has its earnings.

Im thinking WP-Engine is a bit overkill for this site now - paying $50 a month for just this one domain to be hosted.

Im wondering what you guys would suggest changing to that is still reliable and has fast loading times.

Thanks in advance.

That price is too much for just one wordpress site. You can check out Namecheap, they have Wordpress Hosting as well. I'm using both of their shared and dedicated.

Check out the guys here - https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/hosting.196/

50.00 for hosting a WP site is not only overkill it is overcharging.

Transfer domain to namesilo and host it on cheaper hosting like Siteground (best performance/price) or Bluehost/Hostgator (average performance).

I had in the past multiple WP in DigitalOcean, all have been dropped after a DDOS, and I have no time to secure the VPS, so from then I want use only managed hosting.
