I figure this out alone, but took me couple years of experience doing websites. I would appel on newcomers that what you saying is really important and could save you in the future. Well done.

You dont know how much help you're giving to us, thank you you're the best

Thanks for the video, Paul. Got much clarity on the most important things for a Wordpress website.

Hi Paul, another good hosting company here in the UK is 20i. We have used them for over four years. They are very good when you have a question or problem, they are a very helpful team. - Good video for the people starting to build there first website.

[thijs]

Thnx again Paul. A true present to us all.

[stephenmichael]

Thanks a lot Paul. Great video, it actually addresses a number of things I've been searching answers for. But one quick question, how relevant is using Elementor in 2023? Are there better (free) alternatives out there? Whats the best pagebuilder to use in Wordpress now? A video that answers all these qustions would be highly appreciated.

[pex-pl]

Awesome job! Great tutorial for every rookie

[ajaffarali]

Good video - though I would probably recommend a managed WP host as well along with the ones you've suggested as a managed host would also likely sort out your backups and security concerns

Still waiting for the announcement “The return of Friday-livestream with Paul” ❤

[davidwalls]

Thanks for the video Paul. I've got to admit, I'm one of the "chumps" that have used admin for the username .... at least until recently. Great review of things to watch for and how to fix them.

[walidakli]

I really would love to see you covering the "appmysite" plugin, please take a look at it .
Thank you

[luqmansiddeeq]

thanks for the infos, Can you teach us how you get contents & designs for a startup business?

[noraholmquist]

Thank you, Paul. I have been using iThemes Security (free version), but don’t know much about it and there are a lot of options. Any chance for an overview of the important settings? Thanks.

WP VIvid has been a lifesaver for me. Great for a free plugin.

[kznIm]

Hi, what do you think about Hello theme from elementor?

[cnnrm]

Half way in and not a single thing I was looking for really. I’d consider changing the title 👍🏽

[LucaSpinello]

Great content! Anything about caching?

[loreauvillephil]

As far as support goes - do you actually speak to a support person or is everything done through email or solely support tickets?

[JKyngs]

Hi Paul my index was on while it was being built. I launched and the site was glitchy and not displaying page updates correctly. Any thoughts?

[randomplays]
