With summer knocking on our door, the season for family get togethers is upon us, be it weddings, christenings, family BBQs, birthdays… and those of us who work in the web hosting industry will be met with the same vacant look after being asked “What do you do for a living?” or “So what exactly do you do?”.
More often than not people ask if it’s the same as broadband to which I usually reply with a resigned “yes” rather than spending another 30 minutes explaining why it’s nothing like broadband.
So, the question is, how do I explain to my Gran this summer where I work and what we do (I’m not even going to bother attempting to explain what SEPPC is)? In one sentence and as simply as possible:
How would you explain to my Gran what web hosting is?
The top 5 answers we like the most will each win a portable notebook BBQ. Leave your answer as a comment, or send an email to [EMAIL="listentomenow@123-reg.co.uk"]listentomenow@123-reg.co.uk[/EMAIL]. Good luck!
