  • I created this course for entrepreneurs and entrepreneur wannabes like myself that know that good web hosting is a must for any online business.

    Cloudways has partnered with several cloud-hosting services that provide low-cost, high-speed super secure hosting packages – BUT this comes with a bit of a learning curve.

    That is where this course comes in.

    So that you do not need to spend the days or weeks as I did,

  • searching through outdated YouTube videos,

  • reading through endless pages of knowledgebase articles

  • and countless contacts with support personnel

  • You have this course broken into step-by-step over-the-shoulder style training videos, quizzes, and resource guides that walk you through the beginning to the end of setting up your Cloudways server package.

    On top of that, you have me to personally help you with any questions you have.

    Here is a quick overview of what is inside:

    Get my Cloudways account and explain the first few steps of the setup process.

    Install a fresh WordPress site, then later on I show you a couple of ways to migrate my existing eCommerce site onto that fresh WP installation.

    I also show you a speed test of the eCommerce site after set-up on Cloudways vs in its original host.

    I can do this because early in the course I purchase a new domain name and add it to my Cloudways server and that is where I migrate that eCommerce site. So I have the exact same site on the new domain on Cloudways and the original domain at the same time.

    The Speed test results are amazing. And these results are BEFORE we do any optimization on Cloudways! Oh and I also cover both application and server optimization in this course.

    I show you a few different ways to set up an email service because the cloud hosting services do not offer that.

    Oh and Cloudways partnered with Cloudflare to offer the Enterprise package for a few bucks a month instead of the several hundred per month getting it straight from Cloudflare. I show you how to set up both the FREE AND Enterprise packages of Cloudflare.

    I’ve rambled on long enough.
