I had a super nice conversation today with the people at WP Engine. The reason I am looking for a managed hosting solution is that I really want to make my site robust and fast.
This will not be cheap by any means. However, if their speed it at least half as good as I hope, the added security will be worth it.
There is no way I wanna go back to the hell that is shared hosting with all its issues. I wanna focus on my users, not on taking care of hosting.
