Flywheel is a division of WP Engine!
Since 2012, Flywheel has been on an unstoppable campaign to help creatives do their best work. We’ve invested countless hours into improving the web design and development workflow, helping agencies scale, and solving the unique problems of creatives building WordPress sites for clients.
After months of learning, listening, and collaborating with WP Engine, we firmly believe while there’s strength in our similarities, there’s also power in our differences. As a division of the WP Engine family, Flywheel will continue on our mission to help creatives do their best work!
As the team, the brand, and the product you’ve come to know and trust, we are so grateful for your patience, feedback, and support. With this distinction, we’ve made some changes to align the two companies and our goals in a way that greatly benefits our loyal customers, as outlined below. It’s truly an honor to be your trusted hosting partner, and we’re so excited to continue helping creatives do their best work!

FAQ
As many of the answers as we could compile!
- WHAT DOES THE ACQUISITION MEAN/WILL YOU OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY?
Flywheel is officially a division of WP Engine! As we’ve said before, by combining our efforts, we’re better together and our commitment to helping creatives do their best work is stronger than ever. It’s truly an honor to be your trusted hosting partner and we’re so excited for the future – we hope you are too!
- WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE STARTER, FREELANCE, AND AGENCY PLANS NOW THAT THEY’RE ALIGNED WITH WP ENGINE?
Since we both offered basically these three same plans, we wanted to harmonize the price point and specs so there’s no confusion when picking the best option for your sites. You can view the details here, but the highlights include two months free on annual plans (instead of one) and the return of our delightful Tiny plan (starting at just $15/month)!
- THE TINY PLAN IS BACK?
Yes, the Tiny plan is back and better than ever! For $15/month, your site is backed by our powerful Cloud Platform, has access to all the features you’ve come to love, and so much more. You can find all the details on our plans by heading to our pricing page.
- INSTEAD OF ONE MONTH FREE, ANNUAL PLANS NOW GET TWO MONTHS FREE?
Yes! Starting January 22nd, 2020, new annual hosting plans will automatically receive two months for free, and existing annual hosting plans will also receive two months free at the time of renewal.
- CAN I REACH OUT TO WP ENGINE FOR SUPPORT NOW?
Nope! Because the two platforms are still different, if your sites are managed by Flywheel, you’ll reach out to that team, and if your sites are managed by WP Engine, you’ll reach out to them!
