Are you wasting time maintaining your WordPress sites? 🥵
Here are 10 key points for managing hundreds of them super efficiently! 😎👇
1. Centralise your sites
Group your sites together on just one or a few servers, but make sure that each site remains isolated at system level to remain secure. This will be much easier to manage and more economical than hosting each site individually.
2. Manage DNS via the hosting server
Manage DNS of your domains directly via the hosting server. The creation of sub-domains will be simplified, your emails will be pre-configured for good deliverability, and you'll be able to take advantage of a free WildCard certificate to protect all your domains with SSL/TLS encrypted connections. This will also give you the opportunity to centralise your email management, another way of improving efficiency.
3. Opt for high-performance hosting
Don't waste your time with a slow back office. Choose high-performance hosting like those of LRob to be sure that if your site is slow, the problem is not with the server but with the optimisation of the site.
4. Use the WordPress Toolkit
Choose hosting with the WordPress Toolkit. You'll be able to connect to each site with one click, receive security alerts, add extra protection in just a few clicks, benefit from automatic updates and deactivate a problematic plugin even if the site has a problem.
5. Make sure you have a good daily backup
A good backup should be managed on the server side, not by the site itself. For peace of mind, have a copy at home as well as at your web host. Problems with a site? Restore a backup. And test your backups before you need them so that you're not caught short in the event of a problem.
6. Easy access to server logs
In the event of a bug on your site, which is bound to happen one day, access to the server logs is essential to find and correct the error quickly.
7. Choose a service provider who has your back
Choose a reliable service provider for backup, support and monitoring. It's when the going gets tough that you'll see the difference between a good service provider and a bad one.
8. Activate automatic site updates
With a good backup and a good service provider, activate automatic updates for your sites, as enabled by the WordPress Toolkit. You no longer need to update manually, which increases security and saves you an incredible amount of time. You'd be surprised how rarely problems occur when updates are made regularly.
9. Use additional security features at server level
Choose a server with additional security features such as an application firewall, anti-bruteforce and automatic banning of attacking IPs. This, combined with the above measures, reduces the risk of hacking by 99 % while drastically reducing the unnecessary load on the server, for optimum performance.
10. Add value to your hosting and maintenance
Communicate your safety and maintenance measures. Invoice your customers for this added value to ensure the long-term future of your business with high added-value subscriptions. And be proud of the service you offer to help your business grow.
