About 2019 Hosting Conference
The 2019 .ng Web Hosting Conference will be a one-day event aimed at bringing together Web hosting companies, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Data Centers, NiRA Accredited Registrars, Web developers, Programmers, Network Administrators, IT Entrepreneurs and academics from the IT community in Nigeria to discuss, educate and promote the adoption of local hosting in Nigeria as well as the skills needed in this field. The conference is the first edition organized by NiRA. It will feature educational sessions, brand events, industry discussions and sessions on how to start a business or career in Web Hosting.
Preamble
We live in a digital world. As of April 2019, there are over 7 billion people and 1.5 billion websites on the Internet. There is a huge market for various online services and varied skills are needed to satisfy customers who own websites.
Every business or organisation who wishes to be visible online requires a website, domain name and hosting services. Hosting is therefore a necessary service for them. The hosting service could be provided by individuals or business units. Some organisations combine the services of web design, domain name registration and web hosting into a package for clients who prefer a single vendor for online services.
Web hosting package sales is a lucrative business. The skills needed to manage, host and troubleshoot a website, although in high demand, is also readily not available in the market.
This programme seeks to expose the participants on the advantages to host locally, requirements to setup a web hosting company in Nigeria and develop the skills to manage and host websites.
