In an interview on Silicon Prairie News, Flywheel hosting has announced that they received funding for their WordPress hosting startup. It’s worth noting that Silicon Prairie News and Flywheel share a co-founder, so the article seems very much like self-promotion. They didn’t even note how much they raised. Nevertheless, Flywheel is definitely targeting a specific niche in their new venture, which the article notes currently hosts 250 sites, and they seem pretty serious about it.
