  • Global Edge Security
  • Smart Plugin Manager

Fat Beehive, a UK-based B Corp agency with nearly three decades of experience serving charity and not-for-profit clients, needed to move off of their previous hosting provider after unpredictable bills and outages.

The agency moved to WP Engine, adopting Smart Plugin Manager and Global Edge Security, with WP Engine’s team helping build a custom Bitbucket deployment pipeline.

  • The ChallengeUnpredictable costs and support slowed everything down

    Cost unpredictability, subpar vendor support, a lack of hosting expertise from their previous provider, and recurring short outages caused client frustration and constant on-call stress.

  • The SolutionA host, built for agencies

    Fat Beehive moved to WP Engine for its specialization and support quality, adopting Smart Plugin Manager and Global Edge Security, with WP Engine’s team helping build a custom Bitbucket deployment pipeline.

 

ResultsNearly three decades of charity work

Beyond the maintenance-time savings, unpredictable hosting costs disappeared entirely, and random, extended downtime incidents that once caused constant on-call stress are gone. By automating updates with Smart Plugin Manager, Fat Beehive slashed monthly plugin maintenance time from 80 hours to just five, a 94% reduction. Additionally, the random five-minute downtimes disappeared. 

I doubt I would be having half of the conversations we’re having about new services if it weren’t for the confidence we have in our hosting.
