WordCamp Lancaster Just Got Real Updated on January 12, 2023 by InMotion Hosting WordCamp Lancaster just got real. #wclanc pic.twitter.com/emaTyggk64 — Jeff Matson (@TheJeffMatson) March 1, 2015 This was my first WordCamp. I’ve been to plenty of business development conferences over the years and really expected this to be much of the same. Let me go on record… I was wrong! WordPress and WordCamp in particular is about community. Thats what makes WordPress so great! The vibe was informal and inviting. It was literally for everyone, whether you were a core contributor or a brand new user. I was lucky enough to spend my friday night hanging out at the Speaker Sponsor Dinner. Typically, its for, well, speakers and sponsors and I was neither, however my travel companion was a speaker. Continue reading –>
Team Member Profile: Chenelle Harris Updated on January 23, 2024 by InMotion Hosting Hometown: Newport News, VA Position: Director, HR InMotion Hosting team member since October 2009 How did you get started in the web hosting field? InMotion Hosting is my first experience with the web hosting industry. As a “user” of the web, I had never really given much thought to how it worked behind the scenes, just that I could get to the sites that I wanted too and my email worked correctly. I was truly amazed at how much technical knowledge it really takes to keep sites up and running. I’ve learned so many new and exciting things here at IMH, that although at work I will never be the most technical person in the room, in my circle of HR associates and family members, I’ve learned enough to really sound sophisticated in conversation. A big shout out to all the wonderful team members in VA and CA, that have been so patience in teaching me the aspects of web hosting and web design. Continue reading –>

SSL for SEO? Updated on January 12, 2023 by Randall Greene Does a Security Certificate Equal a Rankings Boost? Back in March 2014, Matt Cutts, Google’s head of Webspam, said he personally wanted SSL to be a ranking factor. Well, that time has come – and probably quicker than most people expected. Well… somewhat. As of now, adding an SSL 2048-bit key certificate will only provide a minor boost to your site. In fact, Google says it affects “fewer than 1% of global queries” and does not carry as much weight as “other signals such as high-quality content” which only goes to show you, as always, content is king.
