For the last couple of years, we’ve been trying to upgrade our server infrastructure in order to be more robust, easier to maintain, and overall better. We’ve created two prototype systems. One was using Kubernetes and the other was using Ansible Tower. The problem with Kubernetes was that it was too big (regarding resource usage) […]

Since mid-2018 a part of our company has been working on a new hosting project. This time, we decided to tackle a big problem – WooCommerce hosting. WooCommerce is an amazing platform for building eCommerce stores but it’s suffering from multiple issues. For one thing, it’s built on WordPress that was never intended for such […]

We have recently learned that the InfiniteWP Client, a popular plugin for managing WordPress blogs, has been compromised and was being actively used by hackers to gain access to the blogs and even the servers that the plugin was installed on. Since this isn’t the first time this plugin has been compromised, we have decided […]

Our old blog status was a bit tricky to understand. It was confusing for our users and because of it, we’ve been working for a while on the new blog status in order to solve this problem. One of the problems with the old blog status was the “Up” status. A lot of users thought […]

A few months ago we’ve made some minor changes to the UI (see: EBN UI changes on Blog List and Activity) but we weren’t happy with the overall look and feel of the EBN App. So we put our heads together and came up with a completely new design. We wanted to change several elements […]

Blog transfers are one of the pain points that have been on our radar for quite some time and our goal is to completely automate them. Until now blog transfers were done semi-automated. You sent us the necessary data in the spreadsheet and we took it from there. Our EBN Clone plugin helped us with […]

We are introducing more changes to the UI. This time we have touched the Settings page. We felt that there is too much information on one page so our main goal was to divide those settings into more logical sections. Now, instead of having just one “Settings” page, we have three pages: Account Settings Billing […]

The WordPress 5.0 is the biggest release of the year. With the controversy surrounding this release, we’ve decided to disable our automatic update feature until all kinks have been resolved. You can still manually update the WordPress core, at your own convenience.  What’s in the new version and will it affect EBN? The WordPress 5.0 update will […]
