Multiple Email Routing
We'll Configure Email Routing
Route form submissions to various email addresses based on user selections.
Example: Paypal button was submitted so a custom email is generated to your accountant and to your CFO.

Commercial/Premium Plugins
We make dozens of Commercial/Premium Plugins available for FREE with every with every Website we BUILD or HOST!
We use only the best Commercial/Premium Plugins for every website we build.
We include over >$1,200 dollars worth of Commercial/Premium Plugins with every Managed WordPress Hosting package…all for FREE!
There are currently dozens of Commercial/Premium WordPress Plugins pre-installed included FREE with each SiteSubscribe Website Plan, including Gravity Forms, BackupBuddy, WishList Member, WooCommerce Extensions, SlideDeck, WPMUdev.org plugins, Visual Composer, Advanced Text Widget Pro, and Max BlogPress Ninja Affiliate, just to name a few, with more being added!
All of the Commercial/Premium Plugins shown on this page, that we have typically paid between $30-$120 each for, come pre-installed and are available within your Managed WordPress Hosting package. We are constantly researching, evaluating, and adding new plugins for you, so check back here often.
Why Use Commercial Plugins?
Most Commercial Plugins have continual development and support from their respective plugin developer. Many free plugins are not kept up-to-date with current versions of WordPress, and many do not offer timely support.
So using Commercial Plugins gives a better foundation when building your WordPress website for compatibility, functionality, and ongoing maintenance and support.
Drag-and-drop Widgets
Use Widgets For Adding Features And Content To Your WordPress Website
Many plugins come with ‘Widgets’ that you can drag-and-drop into ‘widget areas’ of your website, usually within the sidebar and sometimes also within the footer or even the header of your website theme.

Nearly all WordPress themes are ‘widget ready’ these days. We recommend you select a Premium Theme that also offers lots of ‘widget areas’ so you can take advantage of widgets.
Using plugins and widgets together makes adding valuable functionality to your website so simple that most ‘non-techies’ can do it themselves.
If there is a widget available within your Admin Dashboard, it is there because a plugin supporting that widget was ‘Activated’. Widgets require plugins to enable them, but not all plugins have widgets.
We’ve Evaluated Over 3000+ Plugins!
We’ll Install Almost Any Plugin You Want!
Just ask, and we’ll add just about any plugin you want…from the WordPress.org Plugin Repository or elsewhere.
Most plugins are available for free from the WordPress.org website (known as the WordPress.org Plugin Repository or WordPress Plugin Directory), and some plugins are available for download from the plugin developer’s website.So if you see a plugin anywhere on the internet that you would like to install and we do not show it as available, just let us know and we’ll probably be able to install it for you at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE…adding even more value to our Website Plans.
Be aware that not all plugins are created equal…some work well and others do not, so if you select a plugin that we haven’t tried then we cannot guarantee good results.
Premium Plugins may incur additional costs…we’ll let you know.
Once the plugin you requested is installed you will need to Activate it and configure it within the Admin screen.
Contributors and developers for the open source platform of WordPress offer website extensions known as ‘plugins’ that can extend the functionality of your WordPress website. The many thousands of powerful plugins available for WordPress (over 11,000!), combined with the overall user friendliness of administering a WordPress website, make WordPress the world’s #1 blogging platform and website creation platform!

The variety of plugins available is mind boggling. You can easily add all sorts of functionality to your website, like integrating Paypal, web forms, Twitter, photo galleries, news tickers, Facebook, Flickr, events calendar, link libraries, email list management, Google Adsense internet advertising, etc., and the list goes on and on…
Plugins can be turned On and Off, and sometimes also need to be configured in some way using the WordPress Admin Dashboard. Configuration of plugins is typically very simple, such as ticking check boxes on/off or adding your user name for your Flickr account for example, while some plugin configurations may be slightly more complicated. We are here to help if you need assistance in configuring plugins for your website.
If you need help configuring plugins we offer extended Plugin Configuration as an Add-on Service (basic Plugin Configuration is included with each Website Setup).
Test Drive Plugins
If you are a SiteSubscribe Memberyou can review and ‘test drive’ installed plugins once logged into your website Admin.You can take any plugin for a test drive to see how your site might function with that plugin activated by logging in and selecting it within Admin > Plugins. From there you can Activate the plugin (temporarily if you like) to get a real feel for what your site would be like with that plugin, and even see what Admin configuration options are available for that plugin.
It is always a good idea to save a backup of your website before activating any new plugins.
If you don’t like the result using any particular plugin, simply ‘De-activate’ it through the Login–>Admin > Plugins link.
Suggest Another Plugin To Us
There are thousands of free WordPress plugins available, most of them are listed on WordPress.org here. And there are thousands of Commercial Plugins available on the internet.
If you see a WordPress plugin on the internet that you would prefer and we do not show it as available, just send us the link and we’ll likely be able to accommodate by installing the plugin for you at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
Be aware that not all plugins are created equal…some work well and others do not, so if you select a plugin that we haven’t tried then we cannot guarantee good results.
Premium Plugins may incur additional costs…we’ll let you know.
Once the plugin you requested is installed you will need to Activate it and configure it within the Admin screen.
We will not install all plugins that are suggested to us.
- Some plugins are found to conflict with other plugins.
- Some plugins simply don’t work well.
- Some plugins cause too heavy a load on the server and can slow down your website too much to make it practical to use.
- Some plugins duplicate existing functionality offered by plugins we already make available.
Typically we’ll try to evaluate a plugin before installing it to make sure it doesn’t cause any problems with existing plugins.
Member Benefits
Coming Soon…well, eventually…
As a special benefit available to our Subscribers we plan at some point to offer access to Plugin Reviews that will provide detailed plugin information including Ratings, Configuration Tips, Plugin Conflict Notices, and more.
Our Knowledgebase provides a user forum, and a FAQ Frequently Asked Questions section to help you with questions you may have regarding your website.
Please note the ‘USE OF PLUGINS, THEMES, AND FEATURES’ section of our Policies > Terms and Conditions. Specific plugin support subject to change without notice.
Deactivate WP Smush.it When Not In Use
SiteSubscribe : March 9, 2012 8:32 am : Blog, Knowledgebase, PluginsWP Smush.it (link to plugin developer) is a good plugin used to compress WordPress images (known as ‘image optimization’) that helps your website pages to load faster.
Unfortunately, when left activated WP Smush.it slows down your site…so it has the opposite effect it is meant to achieve!
What We Recommend
So we recommend you only activate this plugin as needed (when adding images) to get the benefit of image compression for new images that are uploaded, then deactivate it immediately when done uploading images since it will slow down your site.
Use Only As Needed
Since activating and deactivating the WP Smush.it plugin every time you want to add a post or page is a hassle, you can leave it deactivated most of the time, then run a ‘bulk Smush.it’ once in a while to compress any images that you may have missed.
Bulk Smush.it will run through all of your images at one time and compress (or even re-compress) any images it can. Bulk smushing can take a few minutes to process.
