Feature Request: Support for Static and Non-WordPress Websites
I would love to have the ability to add static websites or simple websites that are not powered by WordPress to the MainWP Dashboard.
Many agencies manage websites that are simply static HTML/CSS/JS projects, landing pages, or custom-built websites that don't require a CMS.
It would be extremely useful to have these websites listed alongside our WordPress installations, even if they don't support WordPress-specific management features.
Why would this be useful?
By adding static websites to MainWP, we could benefit from several useful features:
Uptime Monitoring: Monitor website availability and response times, potentially using UptimeRobot or a native monitoring solution.
SSL Monitoring: Monitor SSL certificate validity and receive notifications before certificates expire.
Domain Expiration Monitoring: Track domain registration expiration dates and receive advance renewal reminders.
Cost Tracker: Track hosting, domain registration, SSL certificates, and other recurring expenses.
Client Overview: Keep all websites belonging to a client in one place, regardless of whether they use WordPress.
Centralized Management: Have a complete overview of all websites managed by our agency from a single dashboard.
Implementation idea:
Introduce a simple option such as "Add External Website".
Users would only need to provide:
Website URL
Client (optional)
Hosting and domain information (optional)
Domain expiration date (optional)
Custom notes (optional)
No WordPress connection, plugin installation, or additional software would be required.
The website would simply become part of the MainWP Dashboard and benefit from all applicable general management features, such as uptime monitoring, SSL monitoring, domain expiration alerts, cost tracking, client organization, and reporting.
The idea is simple: If I manage a website for a client, I want it in MainWP, even if it is just a static HTML website.
