Expect a high ecommerce overhead
Why customers jet away from Flywheel
I don't understand why they charge extra for this
Their services Performance Insights is too expensive and should be offered on all plans. I don't understand why they charge extra for this. They also don't give up much information about the server setup. This normally isn't very necessary, but makes it difficult to run anything that requires any heavy resources, such as busy membership or ecommerce websites.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$
Regular crashes. Almost predictable downtime. 80% uptime AT BEST. Absolutely horrible, detestable enterprise. Hosting companies that charge $5 a month are more reliable than this monstrosity of a company. I cannot stress how terrible of a solution they are. If you care about your website do not host it here.
Flywheel never again
The number one problem is the server failing to provide its primary function which is hosting my clients' websites. Only 3 days ago, 15 sites were unreachable online. If you visit the Flywheel website, you can read 'Join our Agency Partners program and start growing your revenue today!' Well, my revenue has just dropped as a result of this repeated downtime. 5 of my clients decided to leave and go with another hosting provider. Bottom line, Flywheel never again and I strongly NOT recommend to host your website with Flywheel.
