SEO Web Hosting

Can the business web hosting you choose improve your SEO results? I think it would be more accurate to say that choosing the wrong web hosting provider can really hurt your search engine results. For your business website, you should not make your hosting decision based on a cheap price. As a web optimization firm, we carefully select our web hosting to be search engine friendly.

What should you look for? First, find a hosting plan with a dedicated IP address. The best situation would be to have your own server and only place your website on this server. Now this is not practical for all but some very large businesses. The next best thing is to have a dedicated IP address on a shared server. The search engines place more importance on websites that have a unique IP address.

When you locate your website on a cheap web hosting server, you need to be concerned with your neighborhood. Cheap web hosting seems to attract spammers which leads to sites being banned the server being blacklisted. If a website is blacklisted on the same server, or even on another server in the same facility, your website URL may become grouped into the blacklisted IP address range. Choose hosting with a “no Tollerance” policy toward spam.

Choose web hosting with a 100% uptime. If a web crawler finds your website inaccessible (404 error) on multiple attempts, your website will be de-listed from the search engine rankings.

Choosing a quality hosting provider is very important and the price difference between the best and a cheap provider is very minnow when compared to the cost of a SEO campaign.
