**Tips on scalable server configurations & cloud computing**

Nothing is worse then your web site being down while you are getting a flood of new visitors. Call it the slashdot effect, the Digg effect, or just plain old popularity it's all the same: you're down while people want to see your content.

Local web specialists Mick Thompson and Chris Kenworthy will discuss web hosting from the basics up to more advanced techniques to make sure your site is always available. They will also include a look into how cloud computing can used enhance and/or host your whole site.

*Presentation to be followed by socializing at One Up for those folks who want to stick around.*
