About Advanced WEB Strategies
Advanced WEB Strategies is a web design and marketing company. Gary Moody runs it. The company builds good websites that do not cost a lot. It helps non-profits and small businesses. Gary has built websites for more than 20 years. In that time, he tried many ways to host them. He even ran his own server. He also used big-name hosting companies.
Each one was good at some things but not at others. Some were powerful but hard to use. Some were simple but slow.
As the company grew, the problems grew too. Support was not steady. Big issues did not get fixed. Every three years, Gary had to renew his servers, and that slowed his work down. He spent too much time fixing his setup instead of helping clients.
Then Gary found xCloud, and things changed. Now he can focus on what matters most. He builds better websites. He helps clients faster. He grows his company with confidence.
“What truly sets xCloud apart is their exceptional support and service. Their team is incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my clients’ websites run smoothly”
The Challenges
The Hidden Cost of Running 70+ Client Sites Across Scattered Hosting
Unlike a single-site owner, an agency carries every client's uptime, speed, and security on its own shoulders. As Advanced Web Strategies grew, nothing broke outright. Routine work simply took longer and longer until the drag became the problem itself:
- Logging in and out of dozens of individual WordPress installs to run plugin updates, SSL checks, and backups.
- Inconsistent support from previous hosts, with slow or unclear responses exactly when a client site was on the line.
- Rigid three-year server renewal cycles that pulled Gary into infrastructure logistics instead of client work.
- Latency, unreliable backups, and troubleshooting hours that added up with no dependable partner to lean on.
The Solutions
xCloud Delivered Simplicity, Speed, and True Partnership
After years of juggling infrastructure challenges, Advanced WEB Strategies needed more than just another hosting provider. The agency needed a streamlined system that combined performance, control, and dependable support. xCloud delivered exactly that.
One-Click Blueprint Deployments
Gary builds custom Blueprints for each client, launches fully configured staging sites in one click, then reviews, updates DNS, and clicks “Go Live” to publish in minutes.
Centralized Multi-Site Management
As of Q1 2026, Gary runs 70+ sites from one dashboard, handling plugins, SSL, monitoring, and performance without logging into individual WordPress installs. Hours of maintenance now take minutes.
“Spinning up staging sites is a breeze. Updating various plugins on multiple websites is much easier. No more logging in and out of each website, I am able to handle these functions from a single control panel.”
Optimized Performance and Stability
Speed improved immediately after the move. Sites load fast even with multiple plugins, latency issues disappeared, and server reboots complete quickly, giving consistent, reliable performance across every site.
Exceptional Support That Protects Client Relationships
When a site flooded the server and caused a crash, xCloud's team quickly diagnosed the multiple causes, fixed them, and prevented recurrence, protecting Gary's client relationship.
The Results
70+ Websites Managed Efficiently with Faster Deployments And Stronger Client Confidence
Since moving to xCloud, Advanced WEB Strategies has fundamentally transformed how it deploys, manages, and maintains client websites across its entire portfolio. What was once a fragmented, hard-to-maintain hosting setup has become a streamlined, single-dashboard operation that serves both clients and the agency’s day-to-day work.
With those complexities centralized in a single platform, their focus shifted from managing systems to delivering more value for clients. Instead of asking, “How do we manage all these sites?”, the team could focus on a more important question: “What can we build next?” That shift gave Advanced Web Strategies the operational foundation to scale more efficiently as they continued to grow.
