RSAWEB supports WordPress conference in Cape Town
Earlier this month Cape Town’s finest WordPress developers and gurus descended on the V&A Waterfront to participate in WordCamp Cape Town. We were very excited to get on board as the title sponsor and to ensure that the WiFi was flowing freely for all to access.
We thought it was imperative to get involved with WordCamp as we have a long history and passion for hosting WordPress websites – everything from small personal blogs to media companies publishing content on a large scale. WordCamp has an amazing global reputation as the premier WordPress community event, and enabling this type of event to come to South Africa is a great way to support the local WordPress community.
We’ve used WordPress for many years – we’ve tried others, but WordPress remains the top performer – from the increase speed and the much improved API for the all-important widget-creators, to the ease at which we’ve been able to assist our customers scale their sites to cope with high volumes of pageviews, WordPress doesn’t fail us.
For those who are unfamiliar with WordCamps, they are informal community-organised conferences that focuses on everything WordPress. Established in San Fransisco in 2006, local communities worldwide have organised over 100 WordCamps – this being the second one hosted in Cape Town.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has opened up the Internet and by introducing future of the Domain Name System – generic top level domains (gTLDs). Aside from the 22 generic TLDs currently in existence, which are the .com, . net, .org, and so forth; and the 250 country codes, “established” companies now have the option to customise their domain needs, for example www.cloudservers.rsaweb.
