WP Engine

WP Engine is a managed hosting company for WordPress websites. It runs servers, caching, backups, staging and security updates for its customers, who manage only the site itself.

Choosing WP Engine over shared hosting is a budget decision: the 930,184 websites belong to businesses that pay a monthly fee for reliability. Customers are marketing teams of small and mid-sized companies, agencies hosting client sites, publishers and WooCommerce stores, mostly in the United States, Britain and Australia.

Companies that sell into the WordPress ecosystem buy this list: plugin and theme vendors, security and backup tools, SEO and performance consultants, WordPress development agencies and maintenance services. Because WP Engine customers already pay for quality hosting, they are a qualified audience for premium add-ons. A website that newly appears on WP Engine has just migrated or launched, often as part of a redesign; one that leaves has moved to another host, which interests competing hosting providers and the agencies that handle migrations.

WP Engine serves 930,184 websites, which is 19% of all Hosting detections we record. Websites on WP Engine are most often served from United States (805,931), United Kingdom (7,826) and Belgium (3,221), and .com, .org and .net are the most common domain endings.

Questions about WP Engine websites

How many websites are hosted on WP Engine?

As of November 2, 2026, 930,184 websites are served through WP Engine, recognised from the response headers and the hostnames our crawler sees. The number is recalculated every night from our own crawl of the web.

Who buys lists of websites hosted on WP Engine?

Competing hosting and infrastructure providers, monitoring, security and performance vendors, and agencies and developers who specialise in WP Engine. A website on WP Engine tells you how technical its team is and how much it spends on infrastructure; one that just moved there is mid-migration, one that left is choosing a new provider.

Where are WP Engine websites hosted?

United States leads with 805,931 websites, followed by United Kingdom (7,826) and Belgium (3,221). The country is where the website is served from; sites on a hosted platform show the platform's country.

How do I find websites that just moved to WP Engine?

The New tab on this page lists websites where our crawler saw WP Engine for the first time in the last days, newest first; the Dropped tab lists the ones that moved away. Both download with a subscription and refresh every morning.

How do I get a list of websites on WP Engine?

A free BetaScan account downloads a {sample_rows}-row sample. A subscription from $69 a month gives the full list of 930,184 domains, or a dataset with emails, phones, country, hosting and ranks, filtered by country, TLD, rank and registration date. See pricing.

How does BetaScan detect WP Engine?

Our crawler fetches the homepage of every domain we track and matches the page and its response headers against the signatures of 7,636 technologies. A website counts as using WP Engine when its latest crawl shows the signature; when the signature disappears, the site moves to the dropped list.

How can you tell a website is hosted on WP Engine?

WP Engine adds an X-Powered-By response header with its name to every page it serves, which is the most reliable sign. Sites may also reference assets or staging copies on wpengine.com or wpenginepowered.com hostnames, and the server fingerprint of its caching layer is recognisable. The WordPress markup itself does not change, so hosting detection relies on headers and hostnames.

What can you sell to businesses hosted on WP Engine?

Everything a serious WordPress site owner buys after hosting: premium plugins, form and CRM integrations, SEO and content services, performance audits, accessibility and security reviews, design refreshes, and ongoing maintenance retainers. Agencies also use the list to find prospects whose current agency may not be delivering, and competing hosts use it to pitch migrations.

Are WP Engine customers small businesses or large companies?

Both, with the centre of gravity in small and mid-sized businesses that treat their website as a sales channel. Larger brands use WP Engine for marketing sites and microsites run by their marketing department. Filtering the list by rank and by the presence of WooCommerce or marketing tools helps separate corporate marketing sites from small-business sites.
