So you've played around with some Drupal and are ready to put a site online. How should you host it? What do you need to know to get it set up? How will you keep it up to date and safely backed up?
This session will cover the basics of local development environments, domain names, hosting, the command line, MYSQL dumps and uploads, cron, Drush, backing up, and revision control. After this session you should have an idea of what it takes to get your site live...and keep it from being dead!
This session should be before the GIT one because people in this session might then be interested in learning GIT revision control. And also before the Drush session.

Nice
That is a very interesting session. It would be very informative for start-ups and non-profits who run on a tight budget.
Wow! Another winner for a beginner.
Just great - good idea to schedule it before the proposed GIT session.
Most definitely!!
Let's keep those awesome beginner sessions coming people!
How to set up drupal on your server, backup and manage it is totally critical for new folks and too often something not formally presented. Thanks for offering this session.
Great idea. I was thinking of
Great idea. I was thinking of proposing a similar session. This is something that's always been missing from the Intro to Drupal session in previous years, and I'd been thinking of proposing a similar session this time. I'd be happy to co-present if you want.
