Campus Party Europe London 2013

I recently attended Campus Party Europe in London which was a technology event dubbed ‘Glastonbury for geeks’, attracting around 10,000 “campuseros” (attendees) from many different countries including Spain, the Czech Republic and of course the UK.

After speaking to a few “campuseros” about their web hosting, many people had suffered issues with their hosting provider but felt they were unable to move because they had paid for 1-2 years upfront in return for a discount. Speaking from past experience in exactly the same situation, my advice would be to firstly take out a short-term monthly contract to give you time to evaluate your web host before deciding to pay for 1 or 2 years upfront (even if the discount may seem appealing!).

For those of you who might be interested in the event, here are a few pictures:

I was also handing out flyers at the event with an exclusive WebHostingBuzz promo code, so well done if you were lucky enough to be given one of those!
