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.

About Wattz Web Design and Marketing

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.

The Challenges

Inconsistent Support, Server Frustrations, and Performance Bottlenecks

About Wattz Web Design and Marketing

As Advanced Web Strategies grew, they didn’t struggle with catastrophic outages, they struggled with operational drag. Managing dozens of websites across multiple environments made routine tasks increasingly time-consuming. While nothing was technically broken, the growing complexity created an invisible bottleneck that consumed valuable time and resources. Three areas, in particular, were slowing the team down.

Managing Client Sites At Scale

With a growing roster of client websites to maintain, Advanced WEB Strategies faced mounting infrastructure challenges. Keeping sites fast, secure, and well-supported was becoming harder to manage effectively at scale.

Inconsistent Technical Support 

Reliable support is essential when client websites are on the line. Gary’s previous hosting partners couldn’t deliver consistent help when urgent issues surfaced, and responses often lacked the urgency or clarity those moments demanded. Over time, this eroded trust and created unnecessary stress.

Disruptive Server Renewal Cycles

Rigid three-year renewal cycles became a recurring operational headache. Each renewal required time, planning, and coordination that distracted from core business activities, pulling Gary into infrastructure logistics instead of clients and growth.

Unstable Performance and Backups

Performance instability compounded the strain. Sites experienced noticeable latency, backup and restoration processes were unreliable and complicated, and troubleshooting consumed valuable hours, especially without dependable support to lean on.

 No True Partnership 

Beyond the technical concerns sat a deeper issue. Gary felt like just another account in a large hosting system, with no real attentiveness or strategic alignment. For an agency committed to serving non-profits and small businesses, that disconnect had become unacceptable.

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.

  • multisite

    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.
