Gary Brooks started CloudAccess.net when he realized that the Joomla community needed a better solution to host demo sites that people were setting up to check out Joomla. He now hosts up to 20,000 new demo sites a month and a good portion of them become permanent.
Over the years Gary has added other services to his Platform-as-a-Service offering at CloudAccess.net, including data back up and DR.
I had a chance to sit down with Gary and talk about his success in building a company around an open source project and what he sees as new exciting trends in the market.
