At InMotion Hosting, we understand business – not just e-business. We have stood behind this statement since our inception in 2001 and have been rewarded by a loyal – and growing – customer base.
Our web hosting network is based on the fast and reliable Linux and Unix operating systems. It is monitored 24/7 for any unusual activity and bench-marked continuously for performance. This allows us to immediately respond to short term issues as well as grow our system optimally – keeping it broadband ready and economical at all times. Staying true to this technology and concept has allowed us to offer domain name registration and web hosting that consistently outperforms our competitors – in reliability, speed, and economy.
Dreamhost has been providing hosting services since 1997 and in that time we’ve watched WordPress take the world by storm. We’ve seen WordPress grow and blossom from its early beginnings as a humble open-source blogging tool into the content management powerhouse that it is today. Even more impressive is the level of talent within the community that has sprung up to support, enhance, and evangelize WordPress.
WordCamp Los Angeles is a celebration of that community and its spirit, and DreamHost is proud to be a sponsor.

Note Fifteen is a WordPress custom development shop led by Andy Roberts providing solutions for business. We pull together a virtual team to build custom functionality based on your business needs by integrating select themes, business-ready plugins and add custom development to create that secret sauce that makes your business special.
As an Los Angeles based company, Note Fifteen is happy to support the WordPress community and open source development. Congratulations to the WordCamp LA crew and all of the presenters and attendees – it is great to see the open source community work!
In the past, we spent our time building large-scale, high traffic CMS systems on commercial content management products costing tens of thousands to license. Even with licensing and paid support packages on these products our customers never had the breadth of information or the robust community that everyone has with WordPress and amazing low cost events like WordCamp LA.
The robust community is one of the big reasons why we are focused on providing WordPress solutions for our clients. So much of what every company needs is built into WordPress or available as plugins. We’ll be happy to help build the rest.
Note Fifteen brings large systems knowledge and experience to the WordPress platform. Whether it is site build up, custom plugins or web marketing you get the benefit of our experience and the freedom of the open source WordPress — the best of both worlds. Find out more at http://www.note15.com or catch Andy at the conference.
Note Fifteen – like music to your… website.
