Autoscale: Manage Your Hosting
You can select and manage all hosting packages through the menus and shortcuts on the My20i home screen.
Choosing ‘Options’ and then ‘Manage’ will take you to the packages’ service overview page, where you can manage all aspects of the package and website.
WordPress Tools
If the package you’re managing is on our enhanced WordPress platform, a range of WordPress Tools will appear at the top of the main section.
Our suite of WordPress Tools make it easier to manage individual and large numbers of WordPress sites. Instead of having to log in to the WordPress dashboard for each site, you can manage themes, plugins and more from within My20i.
Version Checker - When managing a WordPress hosting package you’ll see a green message if you are fully up to date. If you’re running an older version, the version information will be orange. This is a handy way of checking if a website is up to date without having to log into /wp-admin and check manually.
It’s important to keep WordPress updated for security reasons and to ensure there are no issues with the latest versions of any plugins you may be using. Always double check before updating to ensure compatibility.
WordPress Admin - This acts a shortcut to take you into WordPress admin panel. If you’re already logged-in to WordPress on your browser, this will take you straight to your WordPress dashboard.
Reinstall WordPress - Sometimes, reinstalling a fresh copy of WordPress is the answer. With this feature it couldn't be easier or more straight forward.
Plugins - Manage all your WordPress plugins: you can activate/deactivate them and update them with this tool.
Themes - A full list of current themes that are installed, their versions and which are active. Similar to the Plugins tool, you have the option to activate, deactivate or update themes.
Users - Lists all users along with their name, username and their role. You can add new users accounts, assign custom roles and delete users from here too.
Settings - Make changes to the site, home URL, site title and the site tagline.
Staging - A one-click WordPress staging environment for you to test changes and updates in a safe staging environment without impacting your live site. When happy with your changes; seamlessly migrate them over to your live site. We’ll show you how this is done in the next chapter.
Checksum Report - This checks the core files of the WordPress installation, and determines if they match those of the official WordPress core repository. If the files have been modified, then you’ll be notified. If the check fails and modified files are found, then a next step would be to check the on-demand malware scanner to ensure the installation has not been infected.
CDN - Content Delivery Network
Edge Caching - Speed up your site for users wherever they are in the world. Control how your website content is cached, and purge the cache if necessary
Website Optimisation - Improve the responsiveness of your website through these powerful enhancements. This module can be configured to automatically improve website load times and performance by implementing best practices.
This includes optimising images, JavaScript minification and combining CSS - all to enhance speed and the Google PageSpeed Score. This in turn positively impacts search rankings and helps you develop high-performing websites at scale.
To apply these free performance enhancements; head to My20i and select the package that you’d like to speed up. From there, click on the Web Optimisation section where you’ll see the full list of the tweaks that can be toggled on or off.
We’d recommend using Web Optimisation and Staging together to ensure that your optimisations don’t conflict with any plugins.
If you are unsure where to start our Web Optimisation Wizard will guide you through the process.
