Hosting

A2 Hosting

One of a kind shared WHM hosting for multiple sites. Super managed VPS for large sites with high traffic.

SiteGround

Super shared hosting with greater protection than most hosts. It’s worth paying the slightly higher price.

Themes

Genesis StudioPress

The Genesis framework is the only one I use and recommend. It’s also the framework preferred by my webmasters and designers. Solid and clean coding for fast performance, superior schema markup for SEO, and keeps pace with core WordPress changes. StudioPress child themes offer a super structural basis for your next design. Need help with your site revamp?

Backup Plugins

UpdraftPlus

UpdraftPlus is my go-to plugin. See my tutorial and comparison series on the different versions, including the Migrator add on that webmasters will find invaluable.

Amazon S3

Amazon S3 is super, duper cheap storage for your backup files. See my video tutorial on how to get an AS3 account and set up your bucket.

Live Meetings

Zoom

I love Zoom!! It’s a great for:

  • meeting with my clients
  • screen sharing sessions
  • group meetings

And it’s a whale of a lot cheaper than GoToMeeting, which I used for years.
