Keep reading for a detailed comparison of Platform i’s WordPress Hosting tools in the InMotion Hosting vs Flywheel debate.
WordPress Optimization Tools
InMotion Hosting’s Platform i uses Redis and W3 Total Cache for stronger optimization.
Redis and W3 Total Cache can provide a more effective solution for enhancing website speed and reliability for businesses with complex needs or high traffic.
Redis object-caching reduces the load on your database and speeds up site performance. This is especially helpful for dynamic content and high-traffic websites.
W3 Total Cache is a plugin with different types of caching and advanced features to optimize your site. It works with many WordPress themes and plugins and gives users extensive control over its settings.
These tools give you more ways to customize and optimize your website than Flywheel’s FlyCache.
Site Health Monitoring & Performance Analytics
Platform i comes with analytics tools to measure performance and site health. Users can review their website traffic, health recommendations, and WordPress settings.
Site Health Monitoring is a time-saving tool that tests the health of multiple sites and allows you to review the results. Some items our Site Health Monitoring tool include:
- Server connection security
- File upload ability
- Inactive themes and plugins
- Plugin and theme auto-updates
- Up-to-date versions of WordPress and PHP
See what else is included with Site Monitoring on Platform i.
Flywheel charges an additional $25 a month to add on performance analytics. Meanwhile, Platform i monitoring tools are included and easy to use from a central place.
Development Environments
Create a fully functional WordPress site on demand with 1-click development environments we call “Playgrounds“. These playground environments are shared servers with WordPress pre-installed.
As a result, they provide a safe environment to refine your projects and test new features without affecting your live site. Platform i provides up to 3 playgrounds to try new ideas, create demo sites, or work on site copies.
Blueprints
A Blueprint is a reusable template of your favorite theme and plugin combinations. Platform i offers pre-made Blueprints to help you quickly deploy websites for common use cases.
When you deploy a Blueprint, Platform InMotion creates a new WordPress install using the theme and plugins from that Blueprint. Thus, automating theme and plugin installations.
Email Management
InMotion Hosting offers an email service option to simplify management tasks. We make it easy to customize your email address with your domain name, improving your branding.
Conversely, Flywheel lacks an integrated email service option. Flywheel’s users must seek third-party solutions and manage their email separately.
For those wanting a more convenient option, InMotion Hosting encompasses both website and email needs.
Domain Registration & DNS Management
Our integration of domain registration and premium DNS management offers a more seamless experience. Furthermore, it allows us to provide unified customer support for domain and hosting issues.
Unfortunately, Flywheel customers do not have this option. Instead, users must register domains and manage DNS through a third-party provider, complicating domain management.
Register your domains in one place with Platform InMotion.
