Hosting – one of those silent SEO factors that can have a major impact on your rankings if it goes wrong … but because it goes right so much of the time, we tend to undervalue the importance of having reliable hosting. Here are WME’s top five tips for getting your website hosting right, and not jeopardising your web marketing results!

Hosting and SEO

These gals know about hosting!

  1. Don’t host your website at the same place you registered the domain name. Most businesses are specialised for one or the other.
  2. Cheaper is not better. If hosting is cheap, you’re most likely sharing low quality resources which will cause site lag.
  3. Consider a dedicated server if you have a large, complex, frequently updated site. Having only your own website info on a single server is a form of insurance.
  4. Host locally – this will help boost your SEO rankings for local searches…generally the sort that you want!
  5. Don’t forget your hosts when you change credit cards! If your hosts can’t renew your domain, they might be taken off the web without warning. Not good for SEO!
