Namecheap is an American company that was founded in 2000 as domain name registrar, (hence the name – Namecheap) and has since grown to become one of the largest independent domain registrars in the world, with over over 17 million domains under management.

In 2007, Namecheap began offering shared hosting and by 2012 their product range extended to include Reseller Hosting, Virtual Private Servers, and Dedicated Servers.

My personal experience with a Namecheap shared hosting account has been a excellent; I’ve hosted several WordPress websites on their servers and have not encountered any problems.

A while back, there was a glitch when renewing SSL certificates, but NC has since corrected the problem and they automatically install. Also, if something still goes awry, they have created a proprietary script that will install a certificate.

I believe that Namecheap offers an outstanding service, and their prices are fantastic. Give ’em a try, I bet you’ll like Namecheap too.

Does anyone still use the WordPress Classic Editor? Well, stats at the plugin repository report +10 million active installations.

So, yes, the Classic Editor is still popular with WordPress users – myself being one of them and have the Classic Editor set as my “default” choice.

It’s simple, it works, and it keeps content seperate from page structure. Evidently, millions of other users have the same thoughts; and thankfully, WordPress contributors and developers have keep the ol’ Editor alive.

Classic Editor is an official plugin maintained by the WordPress team that restores the previous “classic” WordPress editor and the “Edit Post” screen.

Recently, a friend was creating a website using Squarespace; so I checked them out, just to see what their service has to offer.

With a trial account, I found their flexible designer was easy to use and has lots of options. You can choose a pre-made template or build your own, then customize to fit your style and needs.

You can even use Squarespace AI to generate a personalized website template that works for you!

Kinda cool, and has an easy learning curve for first time users. If you’re looking for a good way to create and host a website, check out Squarespace.

This site is using reCAPTCHA v3, Google’s Invisible reCAPTCHA. It monitors and analyzes user behavior to distinguish between real humans and bots.

Traditional CAPTCHAs require humans to solve visual puzzles or to read distorted characters; the new reCAPTCHA works in the background and does not require puzzles or even the “I’m a human” check box.

Purdy cool stuff!
