After having hosted with HostMantis for some time (6 months), it’s about time for a review.
At this point I’ve utilized their Expert plan which I caught for a deal some time ago. It was such a good deal that while I was hunting for a domain name, I decided to [...]
At my latest job at one of the top ten largest webhosting companies, it is of little surprise that I’ve been troubleshooting and optimizing WordPress sites. Over 60 million sites are built on WordPress, and many of them suffer from slow pages. In this post I will tell provide you a winning approach that I’ve [...]

I’ve worked on more Boonex / Dolphin communities than I’d be willing to admit. No, seriously… my hands have touched thousands of them. I had been securing them before Boonex was able to with simple rules as a simple chat / phone technician.
