Hamilton Ontario WordPress Meetup : Keep The Host(ing) Alive!
October 8, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
This month, we’re talking hosting! We’ve invited people from all over to tell us about their hosting and have our members ask questions of them.
Some of the questions we might ask:
1. What is hosting?
2. What is shared hosting?
3. What is managed hosting?
4. What is the difference?
5. What considerations should I be making in picking a host?
6. Which type of hosting is right for me?
7. Should I do it myself or have someone do it for me?
If you have questions, please post them here.
We’ll post our guest speakers soon. Let us know if you’d like to be one of our speakers, either for this session or future meetups!
