AI Content and Cloud Control Panel Choices

This week, we look at AI Content and whether we should use AI Content in our blogs. There's also an interesting case study in Ahrefs' article on a site that bulk-produced AI Content.

If you have a blog, are you already using AI-generated content for your articles? How much editing goes into your articles before they are published? Let me know your thoughts via email, and I'll put interesting replies in an article.

We also have two LTDs ending soon for Cloud Control Panels. Both are reputable companies, with ServerAvatar being the mature platform.

Nonetheless, if you are currently paying for hosting (e.g., Cloudways) or some Cloud Control Panel like RunCloud, these LTDs are a must-have.

As a WordPress agency owner, I'm intrigued by xCloud as it's one of the few Cloud Control Panels focusing on WordPress. Though it is still very early for xCloud, Asif of WPDeveloper and Jewel of WPManage Ninja have the resources to grow xCloud to an established player.

Exclusive xCloud Lifetime Deal: Get Next-Gen WordPress Hosting

The xCloud Lifetime Deal is ending tomorrow (10th February 2024). While it is still new and lacks competitors' features, it has real promise.

xCloud's team has ample experience and the resources to grow xCloud into a prominent WordPress Cloud Server Management Tool.

I like the Supreme plan, as it has ample server slots (250) and doesn't have integration limits. I will be moving Leokoo.com over to xCloud very soon.

ServerAvatar is the other Cloud Server Management Tool (aka. Cloud Control Panel) on lifetime. At a generous $999 for unlimited sites, ServerAvatar is a compelling deal.

While ServerAvatar and xCloud are similar, they also have some differences. For example, xCloud focuses only on WordPress, while ServerAvatar is platform agnostic.

There are only 100 LTD licenses for sale. Grab yourself a copy if you need an economical way to manage your servers.

Take advantage of this deal today, if you are a WordPress user.
