First of all, I take this opportunity to introduce myself. I have been a developer for 12 years. In the last few years I have worked as a freelancer, in a European top fintech startup and in my software company.
I have been developing solutions for clients for many years. Currently it is like paying my bills; but I have never spent real time on my own product.
A service that I have always loved to offer and improve, is Wordpress hosting. In the last decade I have hosted SMEs, freelancers and startups their landing pages, corporate pages, blogs, ecommerce - all based on Wordpress.
Every year I have improved the cloud infrastructure, the technology stack to serve pages quickly. My philosophy is that each site uses its own cloud instance. It does not share resources with another site. This is great, as it allows for complete isolation of environments and ensures dedicated resources for each site.
All this work, I have done manually for years. The flow has been as follows:
A client asks me to register > I install the whole stack in a new instance > I install or migrate the Wordpress > I invoice the client. A very handmade process.
Currently, several agencies in Spain trust me. I currently host between 200-300 Wordpress.
My goal is to automate all this. I know (and have tried) services like Kinsta or Flywheel. I don't want to reinvent the wheel or copy to these sites; I want to solve these problems:
I'm really excited. It's something I've been doing for 10 years and now - finally - I've decided to invest time in creating a fully automated product.
I will be posting the next steps. Currently I have the backend ready. I'm missing the frontend and all the marketing content.
