Technical Resources Used by Us

Some links are affiliate links. I only recommend what I use myself.

Hopefully these resources help with those also looking to start their own business or looking for a good set of reliable resources to use around the home on their own networks and computers. 

Web Hosting

Cloudways

Quick and easy to setup your own servers. Scalable cloud hosting that we use for all of our client sites. Include site staging, daily backups, and several addons. (Rackspace Email, Elastic Email, Discounted Astra Pro)

Their support team is quick to answer any issues you might run into. 

Porkbun (Domain Registrar)

Another great and simple business that is very easy to use. Located in the USA!

I only use them for my domain registrations, but they offer more to anyone looking to have a one stop solution. 

MXGuardDog (Email Spam Filtering)

A great low cost solutions to reduce email spam to your inbox. 

Website Builder

Elementor Pro

A great visual page builder with endless possibilities. Create beautiful, responsive, dynamic WordPress sites fast. Great for complete beginner and has numerous advanced features. 

I have used it for a large array of websites. Small business pages, non-profit memberships sites, and WooCommerce sites accepting online payments. 

Astra Pro

If you use Cloudways for your hosting, they provide this for a good discount and unlimited sites. 

A great way to get started on a budget and build up clients. 

Business Management

Wave Accounting App

A FREE online accounting software. It handles multiple businesses under one account. If you have a simple business and are looking for an alternative to Quickbooks. Give this a try!

They do offer a paid version that provides a bit more automation, but I currently only use the free version. 

Square POS

A cheap, but very powerful way to accept credit card payments for a small business. 

Pirate Ship

I like using simple platforms that handle what I need. Pirate Ship handles my shipping by connecting to my WooCommerce orders.
