    Wordpress Email Advice

    Actually I’ve moved away from pre Gutenberg sites and now build sites with the block builder. It’s a different mindset but I believe now is the time to move in that direction.

    Home based business models

    Having spent time working for myself, doing something I really enjoy is far preferable. I appreciate that it’s a luxury that others may not be able to adopt and that over time the enjoyment factor may diminish but I still think it’s a worthy goal.

    How much did you pay for your website... and why?

    I started with handmade html, then added css, then moved to wysiwg and then onto cms with Wordpress. I’ve built around 60 sites. More recently I have been playing with Gutenberg themes like twenty twenty two. Very different and in some respects challenging, but I can see the direction WP is...

    Do you leave your PC's on?

    I use the sleep function on my Windows PC to reduce power when I leave the office. This allows for quick boot and for overnight backups. Once a week I’ll shut down or reboot the pc.

    Recommended VPS providers

    I run Wireguard, an open source vpn server on a Raspberry Pi that I use to access my lan when I am outside the network. A different model to a subscription vpn.

    Are we entering the biggest recession since the 1930s ?

    Yes that worries me and particularly when combined with the the effect of energy use and environmental threats. I am a glass half full person but I am not optimistic about our future.

    Looking for a startup!

    The marketing pack is still available and I am open to any fair offer. As said previously it’s a comprehensive and readable set of resources. Because of its size it would need to be collected or via a meet-up in the West Midlands region.

    Does fibre broadband go off in a blackout?

    In a FTTP install the ONT (think of it as a modem) requires a power supply. A sub £100 UPS 700mwh will keep this and a router powered for over an hour.

    Residential phone line for a business

    To clarify, my post was referring to the BT broadband service rather than telephony and the “legality” of using broadband to reply to business emails and update/maintain websites. As others have said, I have concluded that it really doesn’t matter if the residential service meets your needs.

    Residential phone line for a business

    Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but I was interested in knowing if an ISP could terminate your service for using a residential service for a home based business. BT's T's&C's say: 11. When we may restrict, suspend or end a service xii. You use a service for any trade, business or...
