When it comes to hosting WordPress sites, sometimes specific types of sites need specialized hosting. Cloud hosting providers like AWS and Google Cloud Platform are powerful but not always the easiest to configure and scale when you need to.
Scale Dynamix is Cloud hosting platform that connects to various providers to help hosting with scaling, security and performance in mind. It is also heavily focussed on WooCommerce to help deliver performance that boosts revenue, whilst always being up to date and secure.
ScaleDynamix runs WooCommerce on the popular docker container technology. This enables them to scale stores across hundreds of servers instantly without requiring manual configuration. As part of the customer onboarding, each site receives a thorough performance and code audit followed by tailored server optimization. The team of cloud specialists respond to the performance and security demands of growing ecommerce businesses – at all times – even when promotions trigger intense traffic spikes.
Scale Dynamix isn’t hosting for everyone – it’s enterprise level for when you need a highly scalable platform. If you have that type of site you need taken care of then Scale Dynamix is definitely worth checking out.

Have you heard of Smart Slider 3? It’s the slider plugin from the guys over at Nextend that makes creating responsive and beautiful sliders and content blocks so easy.
The plugin comes with a powerful feature set and they’ve put lots of effort into the UI for the visual editor, not to mention the plugin’s website!
I recommend taking a look at the introduction video which gives a good feel for the plugin. I think this full size template is one of my favourite presets for the slider.

Hosting WordPress sites can be an expensive business, and you don’t always get what you pay for. Did you know you can run a secure and performant WordPress site on top of a $5/month DigitalOcean droplet?
Let me introduce you to a new service that has completely changed how I host WordPress sites.
SpinupWP is a modern server control panel that can spin up a fresh server on DigitalOcean (or any VPS provider), provisioned with all the software necessary for a fast and secure WordPress site. Adding sites to the server is a piece of cake with SpinupWP – create new WordPress sites (including Multisite), clone sites from existing Git repositories, or just create an empty site.
SpinupWP takes care of SSL certificates, full page caching, automatic backups, Git push to deploy and lots more.
Take a look at the extensive features and video showing how easy it is to get up and running:
Full disclosure: I work with Delicious Brains, but I’ve been a SpinupWP user since day 1, for client and personal sites including wpappstore.com.
I did this a few weeks ago for my own sites and I'm very very happy that I did.
Spent another few hours playing with @dliciousbrains's #spinupwp. Super impressed so far. Allowed me, a server novice to get site up and running on @digitalocean servers running #WordPress & backing up to AWS S3. Congrats on what will no doubt become a great product.
