Internet Hosting
Namecheap is a budget hosting provider with 11 million registered users and 10 million domains. We currently use Namecheap and we will stay with them until we outgrow them. We are very happy with the service and support at Namecheap. Learn More
At Siteground, the hosting may be slightly better than Namecheap but there is less support from them in terms of IT maintenance. But when it comes to growth and scalability, Siteground wins hands down. Learn More
Bluehost is notably good also, if we were not dealing with Namecheap already we could easily use Bluehost as our web host due to its reliability and specificality to WordPress. Learn More

We also find their social inbox feature super helpful as it allows us to read and reply to incoming messages from Facebook and Twitter, for instance, in one unified inbox. Learn More
Email Marketing
For our email list we used to use ActiveCampaign which we found was excellent, had an excellent CRM system and was excellent for advanced automation. It suited our needs perfectly. The only reason we are not using it now is that we are using different tools which are also more cost effective. Learn More
We currently use MailerLite to build and grow our email lists. MailerLite’s allows you to use up to 1,000 subscribers and send up to 12,000 emails every 30 days. We chose their paid premium membership to take advantage of additional features including allowing more subscribers and emails. Learn More
We also use Beserkermail which is a brand new platform which has been specifically designed for digital marketers. Learn More
ConvertKit is another great platform that allows you to promote your latest project and collect subscribers with aesthetically-pleasing sign up forms, landing pages, and link pages. Learn More
