Understanding Cloud Hosting with Robert Jacobi of Cloudways
Ep. 191 – I’ll hold my hand up in saying that I’ve never truly understood cloud hosting, how it works and how it truly differs from shared hosting and other standard website hosting services.
But luckily, director of WordPress at Cloudways Hosting, Robert Jacobi, is on the podcast to help give us a basic (and more in depth) understanding!
In this episode, he shares a basic understanding of cloud hosting, how it differs from shared hosting along with the basics of CDN’s, site speed and more.
Robert is also great with analogies which we can use to help our web design clients to better understand hosting and why it’s worth investing in GOOD hosting.
