Frequently asked questions
Is Flywheel Designed For WordPress Websites?
Yes. Flywheel is a managed WordPress hosting platform with an emphasis on designer and agency workflows. Evaluate non-WordPress applications separately rather than assuming it is a general-purpose server for any runtime.
Can Flywheel Help An Agency Hand Hosting Over To A Client?
Flywheel describes transferring billing to clients as part of its workflow. Clarify who will own the account, pay for hosting, and retain access after handover, then test the process with the client before closing the project.
