Case Study

About Plastix
Plastix Marketing is the premier agency for plastic surgeons, medical spas, and other aesthetic practices. The Plastix Growth Plan enables aesthetic practices to gain a distinct advantage over their competition and own their long term growth strategy.
Frustratingly Slow Hosting
As a growing agency, Plastix quickly realized their hosting was holding back their own evolution.
The agency focuses on clients in the cosmetic surgery and medical spa industries. While they weren’t having any particular problems with their previous hosting provider, they weren’t exactly impressed with the service they were getting either — it was slow, frustrating, and difficult to optimize.
So when COO Eric Dunn heard through word of mouth that there was a new Docker-powered hosting service in town offering true managed WordPress hosting, he jumped at the opportunity to try a solution that provided faster page speeds and better value for money.
Convesio: Next-Generation WordPress Hosting for Rapidly-Growing Agencies
Dunn heard about Convesio through word of mouth and it didn’t take much convincing for him to join the beta program. Specifically, he was attracted to the promise of fast speeds and reasonable, pay-as-you-go pricing.
“They mentioned that there was a new managed platform taking WP Engine head-on, but with a better technology at a quarter of the price,” he says.
“But the appeal was working with a containerized hosting platform that could provide the reliability, security, speed, and scalability that we needed and is critical for website growth.”
We quickly and seamlessly migrated the agency’s 13 websites across to the Convesio platform, including the Plastix website. Dunn noticed an immediate improvement in page speeds across his client sites.
Thanks to Convesio’s built-in, server-level caching, there’s no need to install performance optimizations plugins — customers get a big boost in speed from the get-go. Convesio’s powerful WordPress dashboard also allows Dunn and his team to easily view sites stats, requests, container performance, enabled features, and specific pages errors for each of their client sites.
“Convesio is completely different from anything out there and provides unmatched speed, security, and scalability for my clients,” Dunn says.
What’s more, Plastix has benefited from Convesio’s high availability, ensuring client sites are always online and ready to scale at a moment’s notice when unexpected traffic spikes hit.
"Exceptional" Customer Support
Since migrating to Convesio, the Plastix team have been able to leave the day-to-day management of their hosting to the experts so they can focus on their core business: building WordPress sites and helping their clients solve marketing challenges.
They’ve also experienced a big decrease in page load time, which is a major selling point for new customers.
Testimonial
“Convesio’s support staff are around 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help solve any problem. They have helped make recommendations on specific plugins, CDNs, and platforms that work best with Convesio.”
– Eric Dunn, CEO, Plastix
What Plastix Loves About Convesio
Dunn says there are three things in particular that set Convesio apart from traditional hosting providers: excellent customer support, constant updates and innovations, and a super-secure platform.
Convesio’s customer support team — who are able to respond quickly, thanks to a Slack integration offered to all customers — have been “exceptional.”
But what really gives Convesio the edge over traditional hosting providers?
“Speed,” Dunn says. “When caching and the sites are optimized, GTmetrix page speed scores are hard to beat for this platform.”
