Our take
In our digital world, website hosting is big business. Companies need a hosting platform that is reliable, that delivers web content fast, and that offers scalability. There’s fierce competition out there, with well-established names such as GoDaddy, Ionos, AWS and WP Engine all big players. Where Pantheon finds its unique place in this market is with the high-performance of its WebOps platform. Pantheon even claims it's the fastest on the planet.
With several large investments, Pantheon keeps innovating to maintain its top spot in the market. Over the years it has launched hosting solutions for WordPress and Drupal websites, with content management delivered as a service, engaging marketers as well as developers, with the platform. Further funding of $100 million in July 2021 has led to more product development and expansion into personalization and analytics.
