Summary
1. Back Up Before You Delete
Use Akeeba Backup to create a full Joomla site backup, then locate and download the database name for safekeeping before making any changes.
2. Delete Files & Database:
Remove all Joomla files from the server and drop the associated MySQL database to fully wipe the installation.
3. Add a Placeholder Page:
After deletion, put up a simple placeholder page so the domain doesn't return a blank or broken response.
4. Remove Nested Installs & Installatron:
Clean up any sub-directory Joomla installs and remove Installatron entries to avoid orphaned records on the server.
5. Follow the Full Removal Checklist:
Use a complete checklist to confirm every component (files, DB, cron jobs, domain parking) has been handled properly.
6. Tidy Up Cron Jobs & Domain Parking:
Cancel any scheduled cron tasks tied to the old site and manage domain parking or redirects as needed next steps.
7. Declutter Email with Filters & BACN Management:
Apply the Marie Kondo mindset to email by setting up filters and cutting down on low-priority bulk mail (BACN) to improve focus.
8. Use Block Scheduling & Time Tracking:
Organize work with block scheduling and track billable hours accurately using tools like TSheets integrated with QuickBooks.
9. Understand Internet Speed Needs:
Differentiate between fiber, upload, and download speeds to ensure your setup supports streaming and remote work efficiently.
10. Structure Retainers & Pricing Wisely:
Design retainer packages with rollover minutes, minimum charges, and on-site fees clearly defined โ and know when to cut your losses on unprofitable client relationships.
