Flywheel
- Hosting
Managed WordPress hosting and agency workflow platform now part of WP Engine.
Overview
Flywheel is a managed WordPress hosting and workflow platform owned by WP Engine. It was built with designers, freelancers, and agencies in mind, combining hosted WordPress sites with a visual dashboard, staging, backups, collaboration, billing-transfer workflows, and local-development integration. The product can simplify handing projects to clients and managing several small-to-medium WordPress sites without operating the server layer directly. Its strongest fit is workflow convenience rather than unrestricted infrastructure control, and available features may overlap with or be positioned alongside other WP Engine products. Prospective users should verify current plan availability, site and traffic limits, storage, support, and how new purchases are handled within the broader WP Engine portfolio. Flywheel is a hosted service rather than a package installed from WordPress.org, so there is no authoritative WordPress.org active-install figure for the platform.
Best for
Site owners and agencies that want WordPress-specific infrastructure and managed operations.
