In reply to Ron.

Sure, I did, just before I posted, as I wasn't familiar with their offerings.

They look a bit more expensive than WP Engine, depending on how they measure 'visits' and for what they include.

To each their own, I guess... but I don't have 4 or 5 $six-figure tech-gurus sitting around to manage WP hosting, and I'd rather focus on other things, even if I had the same level of skills.

Like I said, I had a better server (than what Nexcess seems to offer) than that for free for years before moving to WP Engine. Having some hardware hooked to the Net is the easy part. People who really know their stuff in security, infrastructure, caching, etc. isn't.
