WordPress is not for enterprises or larger businesses, only personal blogs

Plugins are the building blocks and the rocket fuel for your WordPress.com website

Let’s start setting the record straight with these 10.

Anything based on open source code is insecure

WordPress is not for enterprises or larger businesses, only personal blogs

WordPress VIP is not involved in the development of WordPress

WordPress VIP will design your site

Going with WordPress.com is all you’ll ever need

WordPress needs too many plugins to be functional

Customers need extensive code review on WordPress VIP

WordPress isn’t performant at scale

WordPress VIP is overkill, needlessly expensive 

WordPress is old tech, not the place for innovation

WordPress VIP myth 1: Anything based on open source code is insecure

WordPress VIP proudly has its roots in open source. Rather than a liability, it’s actually one of our platform’s strengths. 

Yes, by definition, open source operates in the open, freely available to a worldwide network of developers. But here’s the thing: those developers are continually making updates, improvements, and patches to core WordPress code—in the open. 

If security vulnerabilities or bugs are found, fixes happen right away—again, in the open—instead of possibly festering for weeks or months or longer, often the case with closed source or proprietary software. 

Besides continual code testing by thousands of WordPress core contributors, “bug bounty” programs encourage the wider WordPress community to hunt for security vulnerabilities, e.g., brute force attacks, DDoS, phishing. 

In the end, we believe “more eyes on the core code” inspires trust and confidence in open source software (as well as platforms like WordPress VIP built on it) and less FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). 

Plugins are the building blocks and the rocket fuel for your WordPress.com website

Plugins are the building blocks and the rocket fuel for your WordPress.com website.

 They can help make your site faster and easier to manage but also bring essential elements to your fingertips. From email opt-ins and contact forms, to SEO, site speed optimization, calendars, and booking options — the list is nearly endless.

If you can imagine it, there’s a high likelihood that there’s a plugin to help you accomplish whatever your endeavor on your WP.com website.

And because of the vast community of WordPress developers, there are always new plugins being added to our marketplace. To better help you select the plugins for your business or passion, we are listing three of our hand-picked, most popular premium plugins below, in addition to several others, recently added to our marketplace.

WooCommerce Bookings

This invaluable plugin allows customers to book appointments, make reservations, or rent equipment. Both you and your customers can save valuable time since there’s no need for phone calls, emails, or other forms of communication to handle bookings. Prospects simply fill out the information themselves.

The benefits of WooCommerce Bookings are hard to overstate. For example, you can: 

Define set options, like fixed time slots for a class, appointment, or guided tour

Let customers choose the times that work best by giving them the flexibility to book whatever range they need, like checking into a hotel

Set certain time periods as off limits and un-bookable, providing yourself a buffer between bookings

Perhaps best of all, the plugin integrates seamlessly with your Google calendar. Use the calendar view to see how your day or month is shaping up. Update existing bookings or availability, or filter to view specific services or resources. And if you have customers who insist on calling in to make bookings the old-fashioned way, you can add them manually from the calendar while you’re on the phone.

Whether you’re running a small bed and breakfast, a fishing guide service, or anything in between, WooCommerce Bookings can give you back valuable time, ensuring your customers have a friction-free booking process, which allows you to focus your energies elsewhere.

WooCommerce Subscriptions

With WooCommerce Subscriptions, customers can subscribe to your products or services and then pay for them at the frequency of their choosing — weekly, monthly, or even annually. This level of freedom can be a boon to the bottom line, as it easily sets your business up to enjoy the fruits of recurring revenue. 

Better yet, WooCommerce Subscriptions not only allows you to create and manage products with recurring payments, but you can also introduce a variety of subscriptions for physical or virtual products and services, too. For example, you can offer weekly service subscriptions, create product-of-the-month clubs, or even yearly software billing packages. 

Additional features include:

EU Data Boundary for the Microsoft Cloud: A progress report

Dec 16, 2021 | Julie Brill, Corporate Vice President, Chief Privacy Officer, and Deputy General Counsel, Microsoft and Ralph Haupter, President Microsoft EMEA

EU Data Boundary

Today was an important milestone in our journey toward creating the EU Data Boundary for the Microsoft Cloud. Earlier this year, we announced a new commitment for our public sector and commercial customers in the EU and EFTA: a promise to enable them to process and store all their data in the EU by the end of 2022. Our services continue to operate in compliance with European laws and regulations. ​But with this ambitious plan we are going above and beyond our prior commitments and regulatory requirements to meet our customers’ preferences and expectations for increased data residency and control and to help Europe realize its digital ambitions.

Since our initial announcement in May, we’ve begun the necessary engineering work and gathered feedback to better understand and adjust to customer needs and priorities. These discussions have reconfirmed just how important data, and control over data, is for our EU customers—to confidently embrace the cloud and foster data-driven innovation. These conversations have also reinforced the profound responsibility we have as a custodian of that data.

Building on what we’ve heard from our customers, today we convened an EU Cloud Customer Summit to share additional details about our progress and what’s next. The updates we provided, as well as our ongoing plans, reflect the customer feedback we’ve received over past months, and today’s discussion provided yet another opportunity for our customers to help shape the path ahead.

Here are some of the investments Microsoft is making for the EU Data Boundary by the end of 2022.

Data centers are at the core of customers’ processing and storage capabilities. We already have the world’s largest cloud infrastructure, with more than 60 datacenter regions announced to date, and we are adding more data centers and increasing capacity in our existing data centers in the EU. Since May, we’ve opened a new data center in Sweden and announced an additional site in Belgium offering local data residency and faster access to the cloud

Kuala Lumpur – Menteri Pertahanan, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein digesa untuk mendengar rintihan ratusan anggota veteran Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) yang berhimpun semalam bagi menuntut pembelaan dari kerajaan.

Kuala Lumpur – 

Ahli Parlimen Bukit Bendera merangkap Jurucakap Pertahanan DAP, Wong Hon Wai berkata, menteri perlu segera bertindak terhadap tuntutan yang dikemukakan para pesara antaranya pelarasan dan pelaksanaan pencen kepada veteran yang tidak menerima faedah itu.

Pada semalam dilaporkan kira-kira 1,000 veteran ATM dari seluruh negara berkumpul di Tugu Negara bagi menyuarakan tuntutan supaya kerajaan membela kebajikan mereka.

Pengerusi bersama perhimpunan dikenali sebagai Reunion Veteran, Mejar (B) Mior Rosli Mior Mohd Jaafar mendakwa, sudah lapan tahun pihaknya berjuang untuk menegakkan ‘hak kumpulan pesara’ namun semua tuntutan yang dibuat tidak mendapat perhatian daripada kerajaan.

Mereka turut menuntut pengampunan kepada bekas tentera yang diberhentikan kerana salah laku, pencen anggota sukarela yang dikerah sepenuh masa dan mengkaji semula pencen hilang upaya veteran.

“Sekiranya Menteri Pertahanan keberatan untuk membuat semakan, saya mencadangkan penubuhan satu Jawatankuasa Parlimen Rentas Parti yang terdiri daripada Ahli-ahli Parlimen kerajaan dan pembangkang untuk menghalusi isu-isu yang dibangkitkan oleh veteran ATM dan mendengar juga maklum balas daripada pihak ATM.

“(Jawatankuasa itu juga nanti akan mendengar maklum balas daripada) Pejabat Peguam Negara, Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam dan Perbendaharaan serta mencadangkan penyelesaian atau pindaan terhadap undang-undang yang berbangkit,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

Sementara itu, Wong menyatakan rasa kesal kerana perbelanjaan tambahan berbillion-billion ringgit oleh kerajaan dari segi perolehan kapal tempur pesisir pantai (LCS), sebenarnya boleh digunakan untuk mempertingkatkan kebajikan anggota ATM dan juga veteran ATM.

Walaupun Kementerian Pertahanan Malaysia (Kementah) dan Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) telah memeterai kontrak tambahan kelima pada 31 Mei baru-baru ini untuk menghidupkan semula projek Kapal Tempur Pesisir (LCS), namun maklumat kos tambahan tidak dizahirkan kepada awam.
