The following post comes from our sponsors at WP Engine<\/a>. Don’t forget to check out our Q&A with WP Engine co-founder & WCTO 2012 presenter Ben Metcalfe<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hey there Toronto!<\/p>\n

We\u2019re really excited to join you all for WordCamp Toronto! We\u2019ll be sending a couple of our team members, including Canada\u2019s own Ben Metcalfe, one of WP Engine\u2019s two co-founders!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s cooler than a cow photobombing a horse stuck in a fence<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Free Managed Hosting for life. That\u2019s what.<\/p>\n

Come looking for our table at the event to get yourself free hosting for life, AND we\u2019ll throw in an incredibly soft 100% Cotton WP Engine T-Shirt for, well, free. Yeah, free hosting isn\u2019t as a cool as a t-shirt, we know. But seriously, we want to give you free hosting on our rock-solid, super fast, premium WordPress hosting platform.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No catch. This is WP Engine\u2019s way of thanking the WordPress community for all that you do. We wouldn\u2019t have the opportunity to be a company providing premium hosting without every single member of this community.<\/p>\n

For your account, WP Engine will automatically manage your WordPress upgrades, and also guarantee the security of your site because we protect it with our industry-leading security measures. We keep your site safe from malware and hackers. We also automatically back-up your files and database on every day.<\/p>\n

Is WP Engine fast? Yes. We hand-built a proprietary WordPress-based EverCache<\/a> system that delivers pages in under 15 seconds. EverCache is a combination of proxy servers, database, disk caching, and content delivery networks to serve your media incredibly quickly. WP Engine is the only hosting company that also offers a fully-managed CDN service as well.<\/p>\n

The best part of WP Engine isn\u2019t the technology, thought. It\u2019s our people. Our support staff are all WordPress experts, so when you need help troubleshooting your site\u2019s hosting, you know that you\u2019ve got knowledgeable support that will promptly respond to keep your site up and running.<\/p>\n

Ok, phew. \/Marketing Pitch.<\/p>\n

If you have questions about your site, or just want to chat with us about WordPress while we get the right size of a t-shirt for you, just stop by and say hey!<\/p>\n

Looking forward to talking then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
