Should I commit to a dedicated server with WPEngine for hosting websites? Or are there better alternatives?

I am currently utilizing 27 shared hosting accounts with WPEngine ($30/mo), with 71GB of storage utilized in total. See this table for an easier look at it.

Currently Utilizing (Shared Hosting) Dedicated Server
Licenses 27 100
Storage 70.61 150
Price $800/mo $725/mo

Cost-wise, it definitely makes sense to make the move to a dedicated server, since we are growing on average 2-5 licenses per month.

But I wanted to talk with the professionals out there and see if this is the solution that I should go with.

What I need from my hosting provider:

- Staging and development environments for EACH license

- Daily backups

- One click restore

- Free SSL certificates

- 24/7 chat support

- Ability to add users to hosting backend

- Phone support (preferred)

- WP Plugin manager (preferred)

​

I would very much appreciate your alls input!!! Ideally, if other companies can match all the features but at a lower cost that would be great. Although I a not as much looking at price as much I a looking at the features and performance. I have been very happy with the performance of WPEngine for even the shared licenses.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
