10 things you need to know about leaving shared hosting

The hosting world is scary. Sites go down, you complain, you don’t get answers. You feel out of control. Take back control! Get a VPS (Virtual Private Server). This talk will demystify the realm of basic server management and allow you to have better uptime, and not worry if someone else is going to crash your site. Topics of basic server setup and how to host a few WordPress sites will be covered. Plus we’ll go over things that you probably weren’t thinking of like security, firewalls and backups.

Prerequisites: This talk is aimed at developers and people who are not afraid of code and configuration files.
