Every content management system is somewhat different. At VPSBlocks, we can optimise your virtual private server to run any of the major content management system control panels efficiently, so that hosting a WordPress, Magento, Joomla, Concrete CMS, Ghost or other CMS website on your VPSBlocks server is fast, effective and uses less resources.
There’s a reason why WordPress powers approximately 43% of the world’s websites: it works.
At VPS Blocks, we know that the WordPress CMS is extremely easy to use and lets you build a stylish, functional and robust website very quickly.
There is a plethora of themes to start your design with. These can then be easily customised with various block patterns for headers, footers, galleries, page designs, contact forms and everything else your site could possibly need. The design interface is intuitive, clear and simple, even if you have virtually no design or IT skills, with drag-and-drop tools to design, arrange, and organise your content and media. And there are more than 50,000 plug-ins and add-ons to add almost any feature you can imagine to your websites.
WordPress features powerful SEO tools to get your site found faster, integrated email tools to promote it, Jetpack Search to give your visitors the search results they need, and spam protection with Akismet.
Security-wise, WordPress provides account security tools that include compromised password scanning and two-factor authentication, as well as automated malware scans with one-click fixes.
You can discover why and how people are coming to your websites by accessing the Google Analytics data that your WordPress dashboard provides and closely follow your traffic and engagement stats with Jetpack Stats.

Magento’s open-source eCommerce software has been one of the world’s leading eCommerce platforms since its inception in 2008. The VPS Blocks team has plenty of experience in the world of Magento.
With a wide range of design templates and simple drag-and-drop interface, Magento makes creating your online store website easy. It has advanced SEO features to help you ensure that your store ranks highly in search engine results, and a host of marketing tools to help you create and manage your campaigns with personalised messages to your customers based on their shopping/viewing behaviours.
Magento makes it easy to add new products and configure them by brand, size, colour etc, with search and product recommendation functions to improve the user experience and boost sales. You can set up various pricing tiers, create dynamic pricing rules and implement special offers and discounts with a few clicks. A comprehensive reporting system gives you access to track your performance and improve profitability. Cool bulk editing tools make it easy to manage your product catalogue, change prices, and add new products. If you need multiple online stores, you can set them up and manage them through a single dashboard.
Through this intuitive dashboard you can manage the access levels of all your users to ensure your data remains secure. And, speaking of security, Magento offers tough security tools like two-factor authentication, Google ReCAPTCHA and regularly updated passwords to protect both your customers and business.

Approximately 10% of the world’s business websites run on Joomla, the award-winning free open-source content management system. From the simplest website to the most complex, Joomla can handle it. That’s why it’s a popular choice for many VPS Blocks clients.
It’s a fast, flexible system that is robust, easy to extend and easy to customise, with powerful SEO abilities built in out of the box. Joomla’s strong core code means that is very scalable, so if your needs grow, it can grow with them. Built-in two-factor authentication, strong security tools and extensive access controls for your various users makes Joomla a secure platform, which is why it is relied on by government and big business.
One of Joomla’s big advantages is that it is multilingual, so if you deal with customers from different language groups it is ideal, offering over 70 language choices.
And because Joomla has become such a powerhouse in the website development industry, you have access to more than 8,000 extensions to increase the functionality of your sites.
Developers also love the fact that Joomla is not just a CMS, it’s also a lightweight but stable PHP framework so that they can create web and command line applications in PHP. Yet for the average user, it is an easy-to-use system – the best of both worlds!

The Concrete Content Management System is a free, open-source option that is relied on by hundreds of thousands of business and community organizations including the U.S. Military and many huge Fortune 500 companies.
If you’re looking for a flexible and secure CMS, at VPS Blocks, we believe Concrete is a solid option. It makes creating new websites a very simple process – just click on what you want to change, and you can add banners, headlines, videos, images and more with no coding experience required, you just edit your content directly on the page.
For developers with a higher skill level, you still get a sophisticated and flexible website framework to develop complex and highly customisable sites. It can handle anything from a simple blog site through to huge, complex websites.
When it comes to security, this platform is fully compliant with ISO27001, meaning it is an internationally recognised information security management system which follows best-practice data protection and privacy.
Unlike WordPress, Concrete CMS doesn’t rely heavily on third-party plugins due to its extensive library of themes, add-ons (plugins), and a built-in marketplace.

Choosing the right Hosting Panel is a process that a lot of people do not think about. The often just go with the 'one that they know'. The truth is, while that is great for the creators of these panels, it is not always the right choice for your needs or your customers. Below is a list of the common Hosting Control Panels used by designers, developers, internet marketers and IT Professionals.
If you are familiar with the cPanel environment, the VPS Blocks team have documented the best way to setup your cPanel VPS for Magento and other Content Management System performance.
Once you have access to your new Virtual Private Server, you can use the option within WHM/cPanel called ‘Transfer from another account’. This automatically transfers your website/s and email from your existing cPanel server.
You can view the complete guide here. It includes full step-by-step instructions for configuring cPanel for fast hosting of Magento websites.
We also offer this as a service when you purchase your VPS – again this is provided free of charge.

Plesk is a free open-source control panel that is compatible across all virtualisation and container platforms. It supports both windows and Linux servers and uses the same graphical interface for each, so you can switch backwards and forwards between environments without needing to adjust how you do things. That is very handy. It’s very reliable and fast, with lots of available extensions and templates to make various tasks simple and quick.
The Plesk CP lets you manage all your domain names, databases, domain names, web apps, file management, infrastructure and other settings. It handles all major Linux and Windows development tools and platforms, including Drupal, WordPress and Joomla, and comes with the Plesk WordPress Toolkit – the most secure and versatile toolkit for working in WordPress. It incorporates the Sitejet Builder to easily create websites direct from your control panel, and is compatible with webservers such as Apache, NGINX, and Lightspeed along with platforms including Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, CloudLinux and more.
The VPS Blocks team can ensure that your virtual private server is optimised for the Plesk CP straight away.
