Question

What has been your experience with third-party hosted CMS for SEO?  

Answer 1

I don't even mess with them. I want to stick to one platform and right now that is WP + Astra + Elementor for 95% of sites. But that combo is becoming almost too much to deal with, especially for customers. I'm experimenting with Oxygen and ACF + Underscore theme. I will let you know how it goes.

@malefaction Hey, bud, we were thinking of switching to Elementor and Astra. But now you're saying it's becoming too much? What are the benefits of oxygen and ACF + underscore versus Astra and Elementor?  

---

Using ACF with an _S base is good. Ditch Oxygen.  

---

Elementor + Astra with ACF. This is the juice. All we use. +1

---

I have been using it. The benefits of ELEM is that there is no coding and I can spin up landing pages really fast and quickly tweak the look and feel for different viewports. The downside is that it's basically like learning Photoshop or similar for the customers. They barely use minimal WP blog functionality as it is. Oxygen and ACF looks like WP blog posting to the customer.  

---

@malefaction how much you charge for wp+elementor+astra website in average?  

---

Oxygen speed wise is good

---

Rob, I have it but I have not yet made a full site out of it.

Answer 3

They are worst Just try hosting on wix and if u want to shift to other CMS then see what happens

Comments

@prismatic instead of another fever blister you get this with Wix

---

@leucas2838 duda also claims to be better than WordPress but it is in early stages I believe

Answer 4

This is the second time you do this, Steven! My last warning.  

Answer 5

Well then which hosting is good for seo

Comments

The meme doesn't refer to hosting, it refers to the CMS.  

Answer 6

I used to only work on Weebly sites and ranked just fine. Buuuuuuut, customer service sucks, it's expensive, they haven't had a major update in like 3 years, design options are limited, especially for mobile, and my wife said no more Weebly, so I guess that's that.  

Answer 7

YUCK! LOL

Answer 12

Always buy a VPS and scale accordingly Deploy custom made inhouse code

Answer 13

I only use Siteground & Cloudways and haven't looked back but that's only Wordpress installs. Working more with Node. js / express these days building custom builds though

Comments

@muna2 same. If it's on WordPress, I've fully moved to Cloudways. Hard to beat their price and service for what they cost. Plus, Cloud servers>CPanel all day long.  

---

Siteground for small scale clients for the amazing customer service but Cloudways is just fantastic for scalability

---

@muna2 We get decent sized clients typically. If I get a small one, I'll give that a look.  

Answer 14

Clickfunnels + SEO = no thanks

Answer 15

OMFG  

Answer 16

Excellent. But I made the CMS myself and rent it to others. Site speed is usually around 90+ in Google PageSpeed, and ranks very well.  

Answer 17

Omg hahahaha

Answer 18

That’s how I felt every time I got a nice wool sweater for Christmas.  

Answer 19

So when you choose GoDaddy, you get infected with SEO?  

Answer 20

Aw man. This image sucks! Just like 3rd party CMS.  

Answer 21

Answer 22

GoDaddy sux, and they can GFT on those Domains by Proxy domains. Nothin sux worse than paying 46 bucks and having to Per-Se a Subpoena to hoe slap extortionists and content thieves  

Answer 23

Usually a tactic to hold the customer hostage.  

Answer 24

Disgusting! And the tongue sore pic as well

Answer 25

Godaddy has the best CMS and website builder don't you know. 9/10 SEOs agree

Answer 26

What a terrible day to have eyes

Answer 27

You mean CMS as a service? CMS via API, the so-called headless CMS? Most of those are sitting on AWS. I am looking into ButterCMS right now via Netlify.  

Answer 28

A prospect literally messaged me about needing SEO for their Website powered by GoDaddy Builder. Sighs.  

Answer 29

@legroom What software do you use to create memes?

@legroom  will check it out, thanks

Answer 30

When Star Bucks opened across the street from every small town coffee house. It started putting them out of business. However urban coffee is still alive. The difference is that when your small, your also lean, fast, and agile. Alexander The Great knew this and always kept his armies small. Just remember, It's not the big that eat the small, it's the fast that eat the slow. Go Daddy took 20 years to come up with a concept the the market place had for over a decade. I'm sure you can think of a way to pivot. Judo (Japanese for “the gentle way”) emphasizes winning in combat by using your opponent's strength and power against them. My point here. if you heard nothing I just said is. Your client called YOU. Not Godaddy. how you respond to the rest of it is up to you.
