How to choose an enterprise WordPress hosting platform
Hosting decisions are not just technical choices… they’re strategic ones.
At rtCamp, we see this play out in every enterprise CMS migration project: hosting is almost always one of the first (and most important) conversations.
The hosting platform sets the baseline for everything else:
- Scalability
- Compliance
- Developer velocity
- Multisite governance
- The quality of support during critical failures
That’s why more and more enterprises end up moving beyond standard or mid-tier providers to enterprise WordPress hosting platforms, including solutions like WordPress VIP hosting and other forms of managed WordPress hosting for enterprises. The shift isn’t about vanity or vendor preference. Instead, it’s about aligning hosting with enterprise realities.
Many of our clients even ask us which hosts we recommend. First, a quick disclosure: we’re a WordPress VIP Gold Agency Partner, and naturally, we believe in the platform — it represents the highest end of the enterprise WordPress hosting spectrum.
We’re also partners with Pagely, and over the years, we’ve supported enterprises running on nearly every major platform in this space, from long-standing Pantheon environments to newer setups on a host of other quality hosting providers.
That said, this handbook isn’t about ranking providers or debating the “best enterprise WordPress hosting” in absolute terms. It’s about unpacking the considerations that actually matter when evaluating hosting at enterprise scale.
We’ve seen enterprises succeed on all quality hosting platforms. The right choice depends less on vendor logos and more on how well the platform aligns with your strategic hosting considerations.
