AI & automation

Running and automating your hosting with AI. How to connect Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT to your account over the Model Context Protocol, drive provisioning, indexing and domains from an agent, and keep every automated action inside your own permissions and audit trail. Practical writing for operators who would rather describe an outcome than click through a panel fifty times.

PBN & footprints

Footprint-free network design for people who run sites at scale. Where the signals that group your sites together actually hide — on-site fingerprints, IP and CDN/DNS clustering, shared-fate isolation — and how to design them out on every deploy rather than once at launch. Honest, technical guides on building bulk networks that read as independent properties, from the team hosting 100,000+ PBN sites.

Hosting & performance

How the stack is built for speed, and what actually moves the numbers. Server-level LiteSpeed caching, per-site Redis, ESI hole-punching, NVMe and HTTP/3 — plus a clear line between what hosting can guarantee (a fast, consistent time-to-first-byte) and what the page itself owns (LCP, CLS and INP). Deep dives for anyone who wants their WordPress genuinely fast rather than fast on a marketing slide.

Web Hosting

General managed web hosting — the fundamentals done properly. Choosing a plan, migrating in without downtime, staging and backups, SSL and domains, and the day-to-day of running a fast, secure site on managed infrastructure. Written for owners and developers who want the hosting to get out of the way, whether they run one site or a hundred.

WordPress Hosting & Plugins

Managed WordPress and the free, repo-grade plugins we build for it. Getting WordPress genuinely fast, keeping it secure and up to date, WooCommerce specifics, and how our own cache and footprint plugins wire a site to the platform correctly out of the box. Practical, no-hype guidance for running WordPress well at any scale.

SEO & Link Building

SEO, indexing and link building from a hosting operator's point of view. How the infrastructure layer decides as much of your indexing as the content does, how to keep pages indexed once they rank, how to vet aged domains before you build on them, and how to use the platform's built-in SEO tooling and footprint-free network capabilities honestly. No magic and no guarantees — just the parts we can actually influence.
