How to become the constructor’s champion
Sell solutions, not infrastructure! The dust has settled a bit but the hosting industry’s still in turmoil. New teams joined the F1 circus and dominate the qualifiers. These teams don’t care about commodities anymore and don’t sell single products either. In his talk, Markus will discuss how you can reconstruct your framework with minimal efforts to enhance security and traction, reduce pitstops, and more. So you can turn your infrastructure into a true solution your customers want and need. Cut the corners and overtake. Because if you’re not doing it – your competitor will!

The new normal – what are the key factors to economic success in hosting today?
The hosting industry has been in turmoil for quite a while. New players entered the game, and though everything still starts with a domain, how customers build websites and web applications has fundamentally changed. There are multiple strategies on how hosting companies can stand out from the crowd and sell profitable services customers want and need today. But which to choose?
All panelists have left their comfort zones already and will provide insights about how the transformation from generalist to a specialist has gone so far. We’ll discuss if managed services can really become a cash cow and who the ideal target audience is, what WordPress users are actually looking for and how hosting companies can monetize current and future market trends. The panel will also explore if automation is one important factor to economic success.
