The fourth edition of WordCamp Asia runs April 9-11 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai.

With Hostinger, Bluehost, Kinsta, and Google among the sponsors, this is where the WordPress hosting business shows up.
DreamHost's new Remixer AI builder generates full websites from a text prompt and publishes them directly to hosted domains — no CMS, no lock-in, starting at $1.99/mo.
