 * I don’t know why. I know that Godaddy does not allow but first time I hear that
   WpEngine does not allow. I will contact them.

 * Yes, please do that. I find this plugin invaluable, but it would be unfortunate
   if it was blacklisted by more than one service.

 * Even WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache are forbidden as well.

 * Which makes me think that because WP Engine has its own caching is possibly a
   reason why they blacklist it? Or maybe they’re are corroborating with GoDaddy’s
   list (a little too conspiratorial)? I don’t really know and don’t care to guess
   why.
 * GoDaddy I can understand: they have a WordPress Managed hosting that’s pretty
   specific and they don’t want other plugins conflicting with their hosting setup
   for WP sites (yeah, I’m a little biased against GoDaddy).

 * I love SiteGround. They’ve been more than good to me.

 * Howdy!
 * I work at WP Engine and manage the disallowed plugins list. Let me see if I can
   help clear things up… 😄
 * The reason that WP Fastest Cache is blacklisted is because it conflicts with 
   our server level caching layer, EverCache. Because most managed hosts use something
   similar (a custom tuned server level caching layer) you’ll find that they also
   block caching plugins such as yours, W3TC, and WP Super Cache.
 * It’s nothing personal, honest!
 * P.S. I can’t speak for Go Daddy, but I believe they used our original blacklist
   as a basis for their list when they launched their managed hosting a couple years
   ago.

 * Hi @ boogah, I am surprised about speed 🙂 If you want, I can make WP Fastest
   Cache to be compatible with wp engine. You can contact me via email: [fastestcache@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blacklisted-plugin/fastestcache@gmail.com?output_format=md)
