It\u2019s no secret that here at our WordPress Agency for development we love pop culture. Being the huge Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans that we are, today we will immerse you in the events of two of our favourite movies \u2013 \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d<\/strong>. Of course, we will add a WordPress flavour to the mix.<\/p>\n

Thanos Does the Snap<\/h2>\n

If for some reason you have been living under a rock the last few years, and the name Thanos doesn\u2019t ring a bell, here\u2019s a summary. Thanos is the big bad villain from the MCU who declares himself \u201cinevitable\u201d, and performs the famous Snap with the Infinity Gauntlet. It\u2019s obviously not a regular snap but rather an action, driven by dubious morals that leads to tragic consequences for us poor mortal beings. And yes \u2013 some of us have to worry not only for our own mortality but also for our blogs and websites<\/strong> that still need WordPress website development<\/a> and constant maintenance.<\/p>\n

So imagine that \u2013 you\u2019re typing your latest WordPress blog post on your computer when suddenly you see your hands turning into dust. Moments later you\u2019re completely gone and all that is left is your precious website. But for how long? What will actually happen to your WordPress website once you\u2019ve been obliterated by Thanos\u2019s Snap? Today, we discuss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Snap vs Your WordPress Website<\/h2>\n

Ok, so you totally drew the short straw this time around. A completely mad guy from space decided that the universe is too crowded. His solution \u2013 completely wipe out half of all living things. Nothing personal \u2013 the \u201cwho goes, who stays\u201d process is random and you happen to be on the losing side.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been reduced to mere dust. This means that you\u2019re kind of dead but your website is still very much \u201calive\u201d, and waiting for someone to take care of it. Thanos might have eliminated you but your WordPress website development must go on in order for your online presence to carry your work and thoughts long after you\u2019re gone.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry \u2013 the Avengers will eventually bring you back into existence, and you\u2019ll be the master of your WordPress once more<\/strong>. While you\u2019re unconsciously waiting for that to happen though, here\u2019s what options are presented to your website after your untimely, supernatural death.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Your WordPress Website After the Snap<\/h2>\n

Here are the facts of life \u2013 you can\u2019t pay for your WordPress hosting<\/a> plan once you\u2019re dead. Your credit cards will be terminated by your family members. When the bills are not being paid, your website will be shut down. Of course, you could be using a free WordPress.com blog but then again \u2013 your website will be forever dependent on the platform and your content might be taken down at any time, and for any reason. This is why we always suggest seeking the professional help of a WordPress Agency for development such as our own for developing a professional WordPress website. Contact us before the Snap!<\/strong> \u2013 we can\u2019t guarantee we\u2019ll receive your messages from the afterlife.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hypothetically assume that your friends and family have been luckier than you and have not been snapped by Thanos. They\u2019re staring incomprehensibly at your unfinished blog post and are wondering what should they do with your now owner-less website. Our WordPress Agency for development comes to the rescue<\/strong> with useful information that will help them decide your website\u2019s destiny (at least until you come back).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Relatives Assemble!<\/h2>\n

The first thing that your loved ones should do is reach out to the hosting company where your website was hosted and inform them about your newly acquired deceased (or snapped) status. To do that someone will need to send an email to the hosting company support team with the following information:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Your user name or e-mail address for your account;<\/li>\n
  • The URL \/ website address;<\/li>\n
  • A short message explaining the situation at hand;<\/li>\n
  • What action does your family want the company to take regarding your future WordPress website development and support \u2013 some of the options include making it private or transferring it to another owner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If your non-snapped relatives<\/strong> decide that they want to transfer ownership to another account, they should also enclose the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • A copy of your death certificate (or in this case some kind of evidence that you\u2019re among the snapped folks);<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Some kind of legal documentation (like a power of attorney) that proves their authority to act on your behalf after your death. They may also choose to use a signed, notarized statement. Our WordPress Agency for development reminds you that this paper must include:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Your relative\u2019s first and last name;<\/li>\n
      • Your relative\u2019s email address;<\/li>\n
      • Your relative\u2019s relationship to the deceased \/ snapped user (that\u2019s you, sadly);<\/li>\n
      • The action your relatives are requesting (e.g., they might want to gain access to the account);<\/li>\n
      • Your relative\u2019s current contact information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        We must emphasize one very important detail though. In most cases, the hosting company does not properly verify the authenticity of the presented documentation. This is simply because it is assumed that the responsibility lies with the one who provides the said documents. As you can see, it\u2019s a rather complicated matter.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        I Am Inevitable<\/h2>\n

        \u201cI am inevitable\u201d, says Thanos. The official response to that claim from our WordPress Agency for development is \u201cNo, you are not, you narrow-minded purple thing\u201d. Real death that is not reversible by superhero means, however, is 100 % inevitable (at least at this point in time).<\/p>\n

        That brings the question of how likely it is for your WordPress website to survive the test of time in the long run? We\u2019re talking hundreds of years after your passing. There\u2019s a ton of possible problems and obstacles that may occur. Yes, your relatives may be able to take care of it for a while but the reality is that it won\u2019t be their number 1 priority, given the sad situation<\/strong> they\u2019re in.<\/p>\n

        Put simply \u2013 their grief might be too overwhelming to even consider your WordPress website. Or even if they do consider it, there will probably come a time when they move on with their own busy lives and forget about it. As the saying goes \u2013 life is for the living, death is for the dead.<\/p>\n

        Here\u2019s another funny thought \u2013 what if by some cosmic chance Thanos ends up wiping out all WordPress website development agencies from our world<\/strong>? And what if there\u2019s no Iron Man to bring all the WordPress developers back? Then your website will be in some serious trouble but we like to stay positive, and not dwell too much on such gloomy topics.<\/p>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        We\u2019re in the Endgame Now<\/h2>\n

        Snap or no Snap, the longevity of your WordPress website is not promised<\/strong>. There are certainly some steps that you can take to ensure that your website will outlive you. You can try and provide your relatives with all the important information that is needed for your website support. Then, they can use it when the time comes. However, considering the ever-expanding universe that we\u2019re a part of, you shouldn\u2019t worry that much about it.<\/p>\n

        The team at our WordPress Agency for development advises you to enjoy your website to the fullest.<\/strong> Don\u2019t stress yourself too much over your uncertain WordPress legacy. After all, to quote the famous words of Tony Stark \u2013 \u201cPart of the journey is the end\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
