Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

Web hosting giant GoDaddy has announced a new tool designed to make transferring from other WordPress hosting providers a breeze as it looks to occupy more of the web market.

The new migration tool is available to users with Web Hosting, Web Hosting Plus, and Managed WordPress Hosting products, and promises to make transferring from third-party hosting providers both quicker and cheaper.

It can also be used for transferring sites between different GoDaddy accounts which can be a useful feature for companies looking to amalgamate multiple accounts or for personal users looking to integrate with business products as their company grows.

GoDaddy announces new WordPress transferring tool

Speaking of the news in a press release, GoDaddy proudly claimed 99.9% guaranteed service uptime and 24/7 support.

GoDaddy’s WordPress site migration tool gives customers the power to move their WordPress site from another hosting platform to GoDaddy’s “in just a few clicks,” but for those lacking in the technical know-how, a paid migration service is also available which takes the pressure of users having to do all the hard work.

According to the company’s website, it offers 24/7 monitoring to spot suspicious activity in an effort to prevent DDoS attacks and will notify users when they’re close to reaching their resource limits so they can upgrade things like CPU, memory, entry processes, and I/O, to help them better manage costs.

Managed WordPress Basic plans currently start at $107.88 plus taxes for a one-year contract and come with 5GB of SSD storage for one website. The plan includes a free domain, daily backups, malware removal, and an AI creation tool.

With the launch of the new migration assistant, GoDaddy says it plans to “empower entrepreneurs and small business owners” by giving them access to the right tools, insights, and resources.

Google’s AI Mode can explain what you’re seeing even if you can’t

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Google’s AI Mode now lets users upload images and photos to go with text queries The feature combines Google Gemini and Lens AI Mode can understand entire scenes, not just objects Google is adding a new dimension to its experimental AI Mode by connecting Google Lens's visual abilities with Gemini . AI Mode is a part of Google Search that can break down complex topics, compare options, and suggest follow-ups. Now, that search includes uploaded images and photos taken on your smartphone. The result is a way to search through images the way you would text but with much more complex and detailed answers than just putting a picture into reverse image search.

Passing the torch to a new era of open source technology

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The practice of developing publicly accessible technologies and preventing monopolies of privately-owned, closed-source infrastructure was a pivotal technological movement in the 1990s and 2000s. The open source software movement was viewed at the time as a form of ‘digital civil duty’, democratizing access to technology. However, while the movement's ethos underpins much of today’s technological landscape, its evolution has proven to be a challenge for its pioneers. Hurdles Facing Young Developers Open source models successfully paved a path for the development of a multitude of technologies, cultivating a culture of knowledge sharing, collaboration , and community along the way. Unfortunately, monetizing such projects has always been a challenge, and ensuring contributors are compensated for their contributions working on them, even more so. On the other hand, closed-source projects offer greater control, security, and competitive advant...
