Some Tools and Services
Affiliate
Gridpane
Gridpane hosts most of my sites, I am on their developer plan and have about a dozen VPS of various sizes with their support is top notch their scripts are great, and I really love their documentation, I can’t recommend them enough and infact they are one of only 3 webhosting companies I can recommend depending on your budget
Affiliate
Bunny
Bunny is where this site is hosted and several of my static sites, it’s cheap, dependable and fast it hosts the videos for my sales videos on reallyusefulplugins even with all this its really the minium charge I pay sometimes a little more it really is great service and cheap to boot.
Affiliate
OttoKit
While this one isn’t my automator of choice, I like it and use it, it has great linking with the Sure Suite of products which I use a lot and it also has the most intergrations I know of for an automaton, with additional new items like ‘human in the loop’ it continues to be a leader in its class, I prefer the data ownership I get with FlowMattic but if you don’t want the hastle of hosting your automation this is a really good choice.
SleekWP
Dennis is a genius, and I’ve brought all his tools, including block studio. I use SleekAI on this site, it handles my ALT text for me, it’s really good, costs pennies to run, SleekView is on my list to thoroughly test out too.
Affiliate
SureCart
Another tool I use on reallyusefulplugins.com, it handles my premium licensing and updates and my sales, I have made extensive tools for surecart including URL Paramaters & Dashy
Affiliate
SurelyWP
I’ve got all of SurelyWP’s plugins on Reallyusefulplugins.com. I run their support portal and I also run their toolkit for surecart too for its FluentCRM integrations
Devkit
I use devkit a lot and have published a few videos on it and how I use it for database, resetting, search and replace. It has so many different items I use on a website basis to to reset the installation for a tutorial or to view the database. It continues to get better and better and its well worth the fairly tiny price.
MXRoute
Another email provider I’ve been using for about 5 years and have some of their best legacy offers I am not an affiliate, and I am not a lifetime deal holder I pay on some tri-annual deals from a previous Black Friday offer
Affiliate
SyncBack Pro
This is the lynchpin in my Windows development that links all my custom BAT scripts to my FTP and SFTP servers for plugin updates and script updates it allows me to set and forget, and it was worth every penny I paid for it, I can’t recommend this software enough, it was a really upgrade from the free no longer developed FTPBox
Affiliate
FlowMattic
FlowMattic is my WordPress Automator of choice; it has solid performance, is infinitely expandable with PHP snippets and has a lot of native integrations as well as the ability to create your own.
AutomaticCSS
I use this on all my sites alongside bricks and as such it forms part of my must-have tools, if I am firing up a Bricks site you can be 100% sure that it will be followed second by Automattic CSS
