      The right web hosting choice can bind your business and success as thick as thieves, especially for web developers building websites for clients. For David Chastain, the brains behind 10,000 Things, SiteGround has been a game-changer, allowing him to effortlessly support small businesses online while bootstrapping his own.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n

      The Beginning<\/h2>\n

      David Chastain launched 10,000 Things in 2010, initially focusing on building websites for small corporations which for many years were his primary clients. This was his \u201cbread and butter\u201d until the COVID-19 pandemic. With the lockdowns, these clients started to dry up, and it was no longer profitable, so David pivoted towards smaller businesses and personal projects who were looking for new ways of making money and migrating online like artists, musicians, architects, etc.<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cI enjoy working with smaller businesses; they\u2019re more fun and, oddly enough, pay more promptly than corporations. That was when I began using SiteGround more frequently to offer hosting to my existing clients, while also exploring its potential further<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Discovering SiteGround: David\u2019s Trustworthy Ally in Web Development\u00a0<\/h2>\n

      David first tried SiteGround around 2018, and it turned out to be a game-changer for his business. He found that by offering his clients hosting through SiteGround, he could easily add in WordPress updates and maintenance, making life simpler for everyone while also building a steady income. SiteGround\u2019s reliability was a breath of fresh air<\/strong> compared to the headaches he faced with other hosting companies, where he often spent too much time sorting out issues.<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cA lot of the websites that I get for rebuilding are hosted with terrible companies, it\u2019s just harder to work with them, and I spend a lot of time on customer support, trying to resolve things that I should be able to do easily myself. So whenever I can get a client onto my hosting through SiteGround, it just makes everything easier and it helps me build my revenue streams.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      The Art of Simple WordPress Management<\/h2>\n

      Initially hesitant about managed WordPress hosting, David found SiteGround\u2019s platform to be super user-friendly and efficient. The one-click WordPress install and superior control panel made managing websites a breeze, especially when dealing with multiple clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cI use SiteGround\u2019s Site Tools to do manual backups and updates for all my clients. It\u2019s easy and saves me time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Unlike other managed WordPress hosting services he found restrictive, SiteGround offers the flexibility he needs, with one-click website optimizations, caching, and CDN capabilities that ensure fast-loading sites. He appreciates SiteGround\u2019s ease of use, finding SiteGround\u2019s Site Tools control panel superior to the mass-market cPanel, allowing him to complete more tasks more efficiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cI get my work done more quickly! For example, when in the process of updating to <\/em>PHP 8.2<\/em> I could go and test every site \u2013 that\u2019s quicker with Site Tools than it would have been with cPanel.<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Speed Optimization with SiteGround<\/h2>\n

      David has always been on the lookout for the best tools to enhance website performance, experimenting with various speed optimization plugins over the years. Yet, it was SiteGround\u2019s Speed Optimizer that truly impressed him with its effectiveness and simplicity.<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cI\u2019ve tried a lot of speed optimization plugins from the WordPress repository. But I\u2019ve had the best luck with the Speed Optimizer plugin<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s free, but has a lot of features from paid plugins, and a lot of advanced features like image optimization and next-generation image formats that you should pay for with other plugins!<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      What sets SiteGround\u2019s Speed Optimizer apart for David is its versatility. He finds it so reliable that he even uses it on sites hosted elsewhere<\/strong>, consistently achieving excellent results with minimal effort.<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cI even use SiteGround\u2019s Speed Optimizer on sites hosted elsewhere. It\u2019s easy to set up and it works effectively.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Advice for Aspiring Web Developers<\/h2>\n

      David Chastain\u2019s journey is a treasure trove of insights for those stepping into the world of web development. His key piece of advice? Start by leveraging your strengths \u2013 if your background is in marketing, build from there; if it\u2019s in development and programming, let that be your foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cDecide who you can connect with and who your clients might be. But above all focus on customer service \u2013 listening to your clients and fixing problems is what brings return clients. All of my business is referrals and repeat customers.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      As for the future, David sees it as a time of big changes, where despite some uncertainties, there\u2019s a lot of hope and excitement. People and small businesses are coming up with new ways to work and connect, using the technology that\u2019s available to us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cPeople and small businesses are thinking of new ways to make a living, new ways to work, new ways to interact and technology is giving us the tools to do that.\u00a0<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      David Chastain\u2019s journey shows how SiteGround helps web developers and small businesses succeed online. With our reliable and easy-to-use tools, David continues to innovate and expand his portfolio.<\/p>\n
