A new website called WP Engine tracker shows how many sites have moved away from hosting provider WP Engine since the company's feud with WordPress co-creator Matt Mullenweg began in September. Automattic confirmed it created this site, but didn't provide any further details.
As of the time of writing, the page shows more than 16,000 domains have switched to another hosting provider. The official WordPress handle on X has aggressively promoted offers and blogs detailing alternatives to the WP Engine.
Last week, at TechCrunch Disrupt, Mullenweg said that in the next few weeks, WP Engine will lose more than 8% of their business. Notably, Mullenweg had asked WP Engine to pay 8% of their revenue as a licensing fee for the WordPress trademark in September.
'They are losing a lot of customers, so we'll see what happens. Like I said, we're at war with them. We're either going to go brick by brick and take - us and other companies take - every single one of their customers,' he said.
