Final Verdict
Final VerdictWho should buy WPX Hosting?
WPX Hosting produced excellent speed and performance results with our standard WordPress test site setup. However, more complex and enterprise level websites may require one of their advanced level plans with more resources. For that reason, WPX is better suited for agencies and larger organizations with the budget to go with the Pro level or Agency hosting plans. Likewise, for advanced WooCommerce sites, we would recommend selecting WPX’s specifically labeled WooCommerce plans with more RAM, CPU, and PHP workers.
Who shouldn’t buy WPX Hosting?
Individual website owners and small businesses may not be the best fit for WPX hosting depending on the level of their site complexity. Likewise, beginners would be better off selecting a quality shared hosting plan.
