As their client base grew, the team realized that standardizing hosting was crucial for maintaining quality and operational efficiency.

Challenges

Agencies often face inconsistent hosting environments beyond their control when managing client websites. This inconsistency creates friction in development, deployment, and support workflows. For PixelPeople, this led to challenges such as:

  • Fragmented hosting environments across various providers
  • Limited server access when clients managed their own hosting
  • Slow troubleshooting due to unfamiliar infrastructure
  • Operational inefficiencies managing diverse hosting setups
  • Administrative overhead in billing and support

These issues hindered consistent development standards and the streamlined experience PixelPeople aimed to provide. They needed a solution to standardize hosting without becoming a hosting company.

Solution

PixelPeople selected the GreenGeeks Platform as their agency’s infrastructure foundation. This choice allowed them to manage hosting while retaining the flexibility and control needed for complex WordPress projects.

Standardized Infrastructure

Using the GreenGeeks platform, PixelPeople can quickly set up hosting accounts and maintain consistent configurations for every client website, ensuring each project launches in a predictable, optimized environment.

Streamlined Client Management

Standardized infrastructure simplifies website management. PixelPeople can swiftly create new environments, manage subdomains, and maintain consistent setups for development and production workflows.

Automated Billing and Operations

GreenGeeks integrations automate hosting billing, reducing manual administrative tasks and simplifying client account management.

“Instead of troubleshooting unknown servers or chasing down third-party support, we can control the infrastructure and provide clients with one clear point of contact.” Steve Lovisa – Founder/President at PixelPeople
