Seb de Lemos

In WP Legends Episode 130, Seb de Lemos, CEO of @wearehostingcom shares how he went from accidentally getting into hosting to building and scaling global infrastructure that powers millions of websites. With experience across product, platforms, operations, and acquisitions, he brings a clear perspective on what it really takes to build a hosting company people trust at scale.

We dive into the real mechanics of scaling a global hosting brand, why stability matters more than chasing every new trend, and how Hosting.com is approaching AI hosting and Open Cloud. The conversation also covers the future of shared hosting, the continued growth of WordPress, expansion into markets like Bangladesh, and what Seb looks for when acquiring hosting companies.
