"The moment of delight people get working in Slack with a company with actual people and not a ticketing system is an exceptional experience." - Thomas Fanelli on why Convesio embraced Slack for customer support. A core tenant of great hosting! Listen: wp.cloud/2025/04/22/how…

In my latest podcast with Thomas Fanelli, he makes a compelling point: "Your website's not a brochure." 👏🏻 It's time to think of sites as revenue generators, not static content. WordPress makes this transition seamless. Full episode: wp.cloud/2025/05/06/how…

I look down at the banana peel. It grew out of the earth, traveled across the globe, and was carried to this spot to adopt its new station as a natural element in an unnatural world. jesse.blog/stories/banana/

Just dropped a new Impressive Hosting episode with Bluehost's Krys Lambiase discussing product marketing in WordPress hosting. Krys: "Let us block the cookies so you can keep baking cakes." 🎂 Love it. Listen now: wp.cloud/2025/05/13/how…

The WordPress community has incredible passion, but we forget that most site owners don't want to become web designers; they want to run their businesses. A hair salon owner needs appointment booking, not HTML lessons. From my chat with Krys Lambiase: wp.cloud/2025/05/13/how…

Can AI help us return to the weird internet of the 90s? In this week's Impressive Hosting, I discuss how AI might free us from bland websites by handling the "business," letting us humans focus on self-expression again. wp.cloud/2025/05/20/wha…

What happens when your e-commerce site gets an "Oprah moment" and you're not ready? You waste money over-provisioning, or worse, you miss your biggest growth opportunity under-provisioning. Smart hosting scales with success, not guesswork. wp.cloud/2025/05/27/wha…

"If a 5 year old can use a smartphone, then hosting panels should be as intuitive." Smart design philosophy from Ivan Pjano & Dale at Ivapix. They're solving real problems like managing multiple client accounts...instead of merely bolting on features. wp.cloud/2025/06/03/how…
