Our reseller package gives you everything you would need. And there&#8217;s no need to fear working in a shared hosting environment. In theory, you can have multiple customers all using WordPress and no need to worry about bandwidth. We&#8217;ve compiled a list of considerations you can take now to help your customers optimize their WordPress sites sufficiently so that shared resources are not a problem for anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Image Optimization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an issue that trips up many WordPress users. It&#8217;s standard practice to use images in posts; they help illustrate the content of the post for busy readers and add color and vibrancy. But they can slow your site to a halt and abuse resources needed by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what can you do as a reseller host to help this? Check out some of our education resources and share them with your customers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/plugins\/smush-image-compression-optimization\/\">How to optimize and compress images in WordPress<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/speed-up-your-site-with-jetpack\/\">How to speed up your site with the Jetpack Image CDN feature<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By encouraging your customers to read about and apply these resources, you are solving a problem and empowering your customers to improve their sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sensible Plugin Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress, as you surely know, makes it incredibly easy to augment a basic installation. Using plugins, one can quickly augment their site with many impressive new features. These plugins can virtually extend WordPress without limitation. But they have a downside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introducing too many plugins into a WordPress site can have a negative effect on resources. For example, backup and security plugins, while possibly adding many helpful features, can use a lot of resources if they&#8217;re not carefully vetted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend the following plugins for backups and security:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/boldgrid-backup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BoldGrid Backup plugin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/security-safe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Security Safe<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these plugins come recommended because they&#8217;re free, they add only a small footprint to your available resources, and can be configured with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You Interested in Reseller Hosting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, we have a full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/reseller-hosting\/\">product guide<\/a> available on our Support Center to help you along the way.
