With Special Guests: Robert Jacobi Director of WordPress at Cloudways

Join Us Live on (Thursday 9 of September 2021) at 9:am PST on the WP-Tonic Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/wptonic/

Robert Jacobi would like to discuss how hosting has become commoditized and how multi-cloud managed hosting providers like Cloudways has the potential to disrupt the WordPress hosting industry as we know it. This is due to how these platforms offer users more elasticity, choices, and potential when compared to typical hosting providers.

Furthermore, Robert can discuss why most web hosting vendors are not your friend. One of the first things developers look at when choosing a WordPress hosting provider is how popular they are.

These providers usually only appear popular because they have the funding needed to pay for plenty of affiliate endorsements, not because they are the top provider out there. Because of this, it’s important for developers to not get duped by overtly positive endorsements and to identify what a web hosting provider actually offers its users.

Robert will cover how your audience can identify the actual cost of providers -- something large-scale hosting services hide in the fine print -- and a variety of crucial factors to consider like scalability, reliability, safety, and adaptability.
