CloudFest 2021 was held March 23 – 25 online. Was going to do my own post conference review but I just didn’t have as much time to fully appreciate it that would warrant a recap. Luckily we have three other recaps from which we can pull. What is CloudFest? CloudFest has a long history and […]

What for cPanel?
I’ve been following cPanel for a number of years and to be honest there hasn’t been a lot of movement at the organization in new directions for most of that time except for price hikes, being acquired by Oakley Capital in 2018, incorporated into WebPros, and then sold by Oakley to CVC Capital Partners. Throughout […]
The Growing Subscription Service Model
I would love this post about subscriptions even without the yours truly quote. Subscription models are not going anywhere and frankly will be the way the universe works for, well, probably ever. They are ultimately good for end users and well as the vendors. From cPanel’s post, Join The Club: The Growing Subscription Service Model: […]
cPanel Does WordPress
Since cPanel’s WordPress Toolkit was announced, they are actively focusing on hosts and I think the greater WordPress community to be the critical third leg in website hosting: WordPress, hosting, cPanel.

The big news of the day for hosting and especially shared hosts is the announcement of WordPress Toolkit. WordPress Toolkit Lite is included and free with cPanel version 92, and there is also a paid upgrade called WordPress Toolkit Deluxe. I have had the chance to be looking at it since last week and there […]
Morning Coffee: Updates to Posts
Looks like today will be a number of tweaks and updates to posts from the last week. First Inpsyde CIO, Robert Windisch (DE), drops in with a quick thought in JAMmed Up: “WordPress targets in its philosophy to ‘Design for the Majority’ Jamstack will never be for majority of users.” Second yesterday’s cPanel Pricing Redux […]
cPanel Pricing Redux
It looks like 2021 will be 2019. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to skip 2020. A little history is required. Before we dive into the pricing discussion, for those that aren’t in the know, cPanel is a web hosting control panel. You sign up with a host to build your next amazoogleface.com, but how […]
Azure Home Office Gets Paneling
This may sound slightly odd to the pure open source-rs (open sorcerers?), but I’ve been an Azure open source geek for a very long time. With Arc, we were the official provider of Joomla to the Web App Gallery for many years. It was amazing to see how into open source Microsoft Azure was even […]
