Why WP Hug
WP Engine was founded in 2010 in Austin, TX, to deliver the ease-of-use and open-source freedom of a managed platform offering speed, scalability, security, and support. Our goal was to empower content creators and developers alike to focus on what they love, without the hassle of site crashes, slow page-load speeds, and complex security issues.
Starting with 30 initial customers and a single product, we’ve grown to a team of over 1,000 globally distributed experts in WordPress and a catalog of industry-standard tools. Today, roughly 8% of people online visit a site powered by WP Engine—a testament to the durability of both WordPress and its #1 managed provider.

WP Engine is dedicated to giving back to our community, employees, and industry. This commitment includes contributing hours to WordPress core, themes, and plugins to support open source, which in turn strengthens the WordPress ecosystem for developers, creators, and businesses. Our core values of Do the Right Thing and Committed to Give Back are deeply woven into the fabric of our company, ensuring our actions always reflect our mission.
