MyWork, a Brisbane-based agency, has built WordPress sites for businesses since 2009, offering full-service design, eCommerce, marketing, and ongoing support.
After a 2018 hosting crisis, MyWork consolidated its clients’ sites onto WP Engine’s managed hosting platform, now supporting more than 1,000 client sites with a core team of just six.

The ChallengeA hosting crisis exposed the risk of budget hosting
A 2018 server hack tied to a budget shared hosting network exposed MyWork to reliability and trust issues it hadn’t directly caused, prompting the agency to scale operations and improve service quality while maintaining a small internal team.
-
The SolutionConsolidating onto a trusted platform
MyWork moved its clients to WP Engine’s managed hosting platform, adopting the Site Migration Plugin and Smart Plugin Manager to simplify migrations and plugin upkeep for its small internal team.
ResultA small team, backed by 24/7 support
MyWork turned the 2018 crisis into a long-term competitive advantage, gaining reliability, operational efficiency, and pricing predictability that enabled it to bundle hosting into its service packages and scale its client base without significantly expanding headcount. After moving, MyWork and its clients saw measurable gains in website performance.
We’re increasing clients’ websites from the points perspective on Google PageSpeed from, say, 60 up to 80–90.
