The WordPress Hosting experience – Bought cheaply or paid dearly?
There are two types of customers in the world of WordPress: The cheap-is-cool guy and the one who happily pays to increase performance and security of web projects, and the agility of workflows. What’s the difference between the two and who’s the customer you go after? There are so many WordPress hosting offerings available that even we get confused trying to compare them all. So we asked experts to do it instead. In his talk Jan will share results and introduce his vision of the best-in-class WordPress hosting. He’ll even bring a surprise guest to tell you how to make a WordPress user happy and let hosters stand out from the crowd. You can become the most wanted WordPress hoster alive – and it’s easier than you think. Join in and be the first to hear about the latest product innovations from Plesk.

From zero to hero – what web developers need from you to build a modern website
The days of static websites are over. Today, websites are interactive platforms, integrated seamlessly with a broad range of added web applications. And underneath the pretty face, there must be a solid foundation, built with adequate web tools capable of efficiently organizing and presenting interactive content. Web developers present a massive opportunity for hosting providers – but are you their provider of choice? Do you have offerings available that simplify the lives of web developers and makes their workflows more efficient? In this interactive session, we’ll be sharing real-time examples and exploring how service providers of any size can offer more than just commodities. They can become the trusted partner that web developers and digital agencies around the globe want and need. Register now – You’ll see what you can already do with Plesk today, and what you’ll be able to do later this year!

Site Reliability Engineering: Meet The Biggest Elephant In The Room
Twenty years ago, hosting was simple: configure Apache, create system users, maybe install a control panel, and you’re good to go. Hosting complexity has increased dramatically over the years, leading to new challenges, particularly when it comes to satisfying your clients’ growing needs. Consider this: modern websites are extremely complex, so expecting developers to double as DevOps engineers isn’t realistic. Web devs want to focus on making these complex sites, and things like infrastructure management, monitoring, and security are not their primary area of expertise. However, these things are still needed, and your customers expect you, the hoster, to handle these things (believe us, we’ve talked to them).
Let’s learn why web developers don’t want to — and shouldn’t — handle their projects’ environment and infrastructure. Discover the tools that can help you do stuff that nobody wants to do, but that everybody wants to have. Thus, protecting you and your clients from making the same mistakes over and over again.
