Guide to Facebook Reach: What Marketers Need to Know
New reports for video results in Search Console
If I were a cockatiel my crown would stand up straight when reading articles comparing web hosting sites like Shopify to WordPress.
There are other examples but to start because it appears that many people don’t understand the cord differences.
Shopify is a hosted platform.
You rent their servers, use their templates and are beholden to their support.
I think Shopify has about 600,000 stores right now.
WordPress is open source – it’s free, anyone can start a WordPress site although they will lead a host with the server to mount it on.
There are about 77,000,000 WordPress sites globally – about 1/3 of all internet sites.
In 2004 having taken the reins of IT duties for Windy City Parrot, I moved the website from a desktop server under Catherine’s desk to a server somewhere that I forget, but within a few months enough web hosts pissed me off until I ended up on a Wolfpaw server in Tenafly, New Jersey.
We’ve been in the cloud for 15 years.
In 2005 when our Milwaukee Street (Chicago) facility burned to the ground.
Had our website been on Catherine’s desktop server with all the local backup we would have lost the entire website and would’ve had to start from scratch.
With the site on a remote server we just needed new computers so we could talk to the Internet once again.
Greetings Google small business event attendees.
Tapster is nothing short of amazing in how they come to market.
(although they should make their website HTTPS – we can help 🙂
I’d like to thank Google who sponsored the event, for their generosity.
We are migrating our WordPress blog to a new host.
We will add the Woocommerce plugin and then migrate all the data from our current zen cart ecommerce store to the new woocommerce store

I didn’t see pricing on hyve.com
I may go with 2 hosts because we have 4Â
‘hobby” sites that are really small but our current site gets 100,000 page views/mo and I like dedicated servers.
Flywheel is cool (I thought) because you can build your dev site on your desktop for free and when you’re ready to go live you can just push it to their servers – no muss no fuss,
They also have something called “Blueprint” which maps out any number plug-ins that you use on a regular basis.
They (the plug-ins) can be added to any new site with a single click
Stay tuned
I’m old enough to have a Medicare card
Yet I Lord also over a dozen websites on three hosting platforms.
I make my living in have done so from e-commerce for 15 years.
Have 400,000 social media followers because of my expertise in captive bird husbandry.
I still have a thirst to learn something new every day.
My day gig is WindyCityParrot.com, which has been around since New Year’s Eve 2002 when my wife Catherine launched it.
Since then I’ve built dozens, maybe a hundred or more websites.
You get the picture. I know e-commerce.
3 WordPress hosts – reviewedÂ
For a convoluted set of reasons, our current eCommerce platform is a hybrid WordPress/Zen Cart.
This combination is not working on a number of levels especially for SEO.
There are many reasons for it but I’ve suspected several which I’ve recently confirmed.
Here’s how I know.
I’ve been blogging for 10 years.
I’m no Ernest Hemingway but I’m reasonably articulate and have several hundred thousand social media followers.
When I started seeing poor readability scores I began to test.
