Douglas Hanna<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re in the market for a web hosting provider (or frustrated with your current one) don\u2019t miss Douglas Hanna\u2019s<\/a> session, The Secrets of Web Hosting without the BS<\/strong><\/a>. A returning speaker to WordCamp Raleigh, Douglas knows the world of hosting. He\u2019s the CEO of A Small Orange<\/a>, a hosting company that makes customer service a priority.<\/p>\n

Finding a good hosting provider is about more than just looking at their reviews online and picking someone who sounds good. It\u2019s about understanding the goals for your site and how that provider can support you along the way. Douglas will cover topics like how to choose a quality host and choosing the right package to fit your needs. He\u2019ll also demystify some industry jargon and dispel common myths about hosting.<\/p>\n

When it comes to WordPress, Douglas likes the extensibility. \u201cIf WordPress core doesn’t do what you need, chances are there’s a plugin that does,\u201d he said. \u00a0\u201cVery few platforms can combine the ease of use that WordPress offers out of the box with the tremendous extensibility that’s easily within reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Douglas\u2019 favorite WordPress features are the iPad and iPhone apps.\u00a0 \u201cThe blog I use the most is written by several different people, so I use the iPhone and iPad apps all the time to make quick edits to new posts published by others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The most important thing you\u2019ll get from attending Douglas\u2019 session at WordCamp Raleigh is how to choose the right plan at the right web hosting company. Douglas feels that \u201cA web host is essential to keeping your site online, and I want to help attendees make the right choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
