    Elon Musk's $43B hostile takeover of Twitter

    It's always best to stay prepared for the next platform to take its place. I do not welcome what Twitter will become.

    What are some of the fundamentals that drive higher conversion ratios online?

    This will always be hard to do, no matter your incentives. A customer has to feel like there is something in it for them. I understand it, instant gratification. So I try to do incentive programs that give credits for any kind of review (positive or negative). These credits can be used for any...

    cPanel price increase (Dec 2022)

    I understand that the cost of running a business has been rising (just about everywhere), but this screams to me that the customer base is not growing for cPanel. So, of course, I think they are trying to squeeze every last drop out of their base to offset the loss of growth. I get the same...

    What accounting software do you use?

    I have been using Xero for quite some time now. It's been a good experience, and I can also do manual invoicing for custom orders there. My accountant is also happy with the reports it generates, so it gets another plus. I tried Quickbooks Online originally, and I just couldn't get a handle on...

    Payment gateway

    I have primarily used PayPal and Stripe for many years. Unfortunately, I have decided to cut PayPal out as an offering. I've experienced quite a few API issues working with PayPal. In addition, they have started to increase fees. It's simply not worth it in my eyes. Stripe has been excellent...

    Fixing the client?

    This may be due to the nature of my business since I do not sell web hosting services, but I have not had any issues with clients requesting discounts or additional incentives to continue business with me. Most of the support issues that come my way are end-user-related, but I receive legitimate...

    On what forums and rating sites do you advertise your hosting?

    I tried a few FB ads to get a feel for it and see how well they perform. It was not worth the effort. That may be specific to my business, but that was my key takeaway.

    On what forums and rating sites do you advertise your hosting?

    This is not a slight to any forum in particular, but I find most forums do not generate much in terms of sales. You may get some traffic, but it doesn't entirely create the conversion levels it used to years ago.

    Emails Directly to Spam

    No worries, I wanted to bring it to your attention in case you saw a large number of unverified registrations.

    Email vs. Comments: Which is Better?

    Depending on the size of your operation, it can be daunting to handle support in discussion forums, comment systems, and the like. I've told many of my customers that they need to submit support requests through the applications I've built, and they've been okay with that. In addition, someone...

    Custom whmcs theme

    I'm going to be highly biased, in my opinion, since this service is in my wheelhouse. I can only speak to WHMCS and Blesta, but the default theme for both providers leaves much to be desired. There is minimal customization, and the disconnect from your primary site to your billing installation...

    What's your take on the best WordPress security plugins

    Some may disagree with me, but the best WordPress security solution is a good hosting provider. Combining that with Cloudflare and Two-Factor Authentication would be ample for most sites. In my experience, most security plugins are incredibly bloated and cause more harm than good. I've found...

    The Good and Bad Sides of WordPress Plugins

    I've worked with many clients, and they all have varying levels of requirements. It often comes down to cost, as it's always possible to create a custom solution catered to a website versus purchasing and installing a WordPress plugin. Typically, I'll check a plugin to see if they have a...
