Case Study: Atilus achieves increased uptime and peace of mind with WP Engine

Security, Swift Migration, Technical Support Give Atilus Peace of Mind

Atilus is an award‑winning web design and development agency in Florida that manages hundreds of WordPress sites across industries. After a string of site hacks, the agency faced costly, time‑consuming cleanups, recurring downtime, and a drain on developers who couldn’t spend time on core projects because they had to manage backups, servers, and security.

Atilus migrated its sites to WP Engine’s managed WordPress platform, upgrading from Professional to Business and then Premium plans to gain multisite support, SSL, CDN, premium support, automated updates and backups, and a dedicated environment. The move was smooth (the most recent plan migration took under 24 hours) and delivered measurable benefits: eliminated hack remediation costs, improved uptime and page‑load speeds, handled big traffic spikes without issue, and converted hosting from a money‑losing overhead into a scalable, profitable service — restoring the team’s focus and peace of mind.
