Title: Managing on a Phone?
Post by: Allan on February 14, 2015, 10:18:12 PM
I never got into the smartphones but was wondering how many use them to manage your sites?

I've used Wordpress on my phone before! Hated it so I decided I would stick to a tablet or a laptop! Phones are just to small to sit there and type out things! Well thats my 2p anyway.

I prefer a keyboard and mouse or a trackpad!

A phone is great to help in emergencies if you have 3g/4g. You can log in remotely at anytime anywhere and resolve issues as required. I wouldn't recommend doing it for everyday stuff as Jordan said, they're just to small to sit there and type out things for any extended period of time.

I agree with you on there, I have used my phone to get back to clients if I am out or at work. That is about the extent of what I do though.

The other day was the first time I had to use my phone to access the WHM for something, it was weird doing it on phone.

Thats why I have a WHM app on my phone so I don't have to login via my browser!

It depends on the website. Some pages can be managed via phone, because of their mobile versions, but page, which does not have a mobile version is a nightmare to be managed.

Non mobile versions of websites are a pain when on a phone, I agree with that.

Furthermore, google indexes the websites with non mobile version with very low rating since 20th April

Phones are okay only to check on everything, especially social media accounts. I really couldn't manage a website from a phone, because it's too, too small for that.

That is the problem I have, the screens are just too small.

I'm fixing to buy one of those tablet / laptops for management when I'm away from the office.

The phone is definitely too small to be trying to type out too many ssh stuff all the time.

Maybe an Acer Switch tablet/laptop 2 in 1

I couldn't imagine trying to do ssh commands from a phone. Tablet would bee a lot better.

oh, it's possible, there are a ton of SSH android apps, some try to make it easy with shortcut commands and all. It's just rather frustrating to me on the small screen and on screen keyboard.

Just remember to use screen in case yer session drops :p
