Daugirdas Jankus Interview – A Chat on WordPress Hosting With Hostinger’s Head of Marketing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When and how did you start working with WordPress? Is there an interesting story here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daugirdas Jankus:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n I think it would be fair to say that we started working with WordPress from the inception of Hostinger as a company<\/a>. Ever since 2004, when the operations began, the team tested a variety of internet business ideas. The majority of those were built with WordPress. The early versions of our websites were WordPress – based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, the situation is slightly different – Hostinger is a fast-growing web hosting company, and we are working with WordPress (both as a technology and community) in many different ways. We are building our services to support WordPress<\/a>; we invest a lot in the best WordPress experience for our clients. Our main goal is to develop everything with WordPress speed in mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the main notable improvements we did, was enabling LiteSpeed Web Servers<\/a> for our infrastructure. Since 2019, we made many technical improvements, which allowed our clients to increase their WordPress websites\u2019 speed and reliability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n What’s your technique for staying productive throughout the day?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daugirdas Jankus:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n I do it in a very boring way – each Monday, I plan my whole week. I use Google Calendar for this. The rule is simple – if a thing is not on my calendar, it\u2019s not going to happen \ud83d\ude42 I read in the book \u201cHigh output management\u201d by Andy Grove that batching similar tasks together throughout the week can increase your productivity as well. I started doing that, and it worked like a charm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, sometimes unplanned stuff happens, so I simply plan for those as well. In this way, I have some time to deal with \u201cunplanned\u201d work without the need to re-plan the whole week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n How do you define “being successful”?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daugirdas Jankus:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n I do not believe that \u201csuccess\u201d or \u201cbeing successful\u201d is something tangible and possible to achieve per se. For me, being successful means being happy. And I am taking the approach by Ray Dalio on this – in his book \u201cPrinciples\u201d<\/a> he explains that happiness consists of meaningful work and meaningful relationships. I totally agree with this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Who’s doing things that are just cutting-edge and incredible in the WordPress space right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daugirdas Jankus:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n WordPress is so big, and there are quite many things going on. To speak in Matt Mullenweg’s words – opensource is the most powerful idea of our generation. Several people and companies are doing incredible things in the WordPress space. At Hostinger, we aim to support it by providing the fastest and the most robust web hosting solutions for websites built with WordPress<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Describe the WordPress community in one word.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daugirdas Jankus:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s a tricky one, haha \ud83d\ude00 for me that one word could be \u201cvibrant\u201d<\/em><\/strong>. Every time I get the chance to engage with the WordPress community, I am overwhelmed by how many bright minds are cooperating and how this \u201cmachine\u201d works. It is a true inspiration and we are always happy to contribute to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n What’s the one thing you’d like to change about WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daugirdas Jankus:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n I think that would be the perception of WordPress being challenging to use. We still see many people who are fresh in the web hosting niche, thinking that starting a website with WordPress is hard. New users on Hostinger can launch their first WordPress websites within 7 minutes. WordPress is easy and super versatile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n How do you see the evolution of WordPress compared to, say, five years ago? Is it on the right track?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Daugirdas Jankus:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n In my opinion, I am not technical enough to evaluate that, to be honest. What can I say is that I genuinely believe that the internet needs an open and independent platform, such as WordPress. The internet is continuing to grow worldwide<\/a>, and the share of WordPress-powered-websites is increasing as well. Isn\u2019t that a perfect proof that WordPress\u2019s evolution and the track of it are moving in the right direction?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
