Introduction
Earlier I reviewed about WPEngine Manage Hosting Service, but ever since a lot of readers asked me to review Page.ly also, another managed hosting service. So here I am, figuring it out that whether the service is good or not and if good, how it is good and if it is not, then where the service lacks.
Page.ly started in 2006 and get in real action by 2009 with introducing friendly looking website is one of the largest and most trusted WordPress hosting providers. What appreciated is that the service is run by husband-wife duo, Joshua Strebel and Sally Strebel.
The service offers managed WordPress hosting service for those who are looking for tension free site running environment, means one start by signing up once over the service and have never worry about upgrading things like plugins or core install. Page.ly get its fuel by Codeigniter as its framework.
