Bloggers need Managed WordPress Hosting too!
Web hosting and bloggers aren’t always best friends.

In his talk Liew will share insights about what bloggers want for web hosting and why it’s important to describe services in a language a blogger understands. Get first hand advice from a WordPress consultant, who was a pro-blogger in Malaysia from 2005.
