Maestro Connector

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 98% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   I’m a freelance developer, WP admin, and SEO, and I have a roster of clients using several different web hosts. All of these hosts allow their customers to delegate access to their hosting account. No add-on products or extra “Maestro” plugins required. I just create an account with the host, without purchasing anything, and my clients can delegate access to that account so that I can manage things like cPanel and DNS configuration without access to their billing information. Bluehost, however, doesn’t allow account creation without purchasing a hosting plan! Just go to their site and try to create an account. The first screen you’ll encounter requires you to select a hosting plan. There is no option to create an account without purchasing a plan. This is way out of step what most hosts offer. It also costs my client money due to the extra time I have to spend doing things the hard way. He knows this, and will be changing hosts as soon as his plan is up, and maybe before. I often recommend hosts to my clients, and will never recommend (and will strongly discourage) Bluehost. If I’m misunderstanding something, I’d love to be corrected (it would make my life easier), but Bluehost’s support has now told me this three times in the last year. Awful.

   Maestro has made managing my ever growing list of client sites easier than ever. The ability to connect sites from other hosts is awesome, so I can recommend Bluehost instead of forcing it. My only hope is that Bluehost adds 2-factor authentication to the Maestro dashboard, and continues to take security seriously. This topic was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by TraderHowell.
