Celebrating more than 10 years of WordPress maintenance and support

3,717 days! Almost every day since switching from building new WordPress sites to maintaining, refurbishing, and updating old ones, I’ve logged into my InfiniteWP console and backed up and updated all my maintenance clients’ websites.

The reason I chose IWP all those years ago is that it is self-hosted and doesn’t have per-site charges. There are other self-hosted maintenance consoles, but MainWP is the big one. MainWP is now more actively developed, while the IWP devs seem satisfied to keep the motor running.

The reason I prefer self-hosting vs. cloud-based consoles is that there are no additional per-site charges. This means that in addition to various clients, it’s no problem giving pro-bono site maintenance to non-profits or even friends and family.

And giving back is still one of the things that makes me most proud of the WordPress community.
