cheap hosting

[c.smith]

What do you think Cheap hosting has Dedicated servers or shared servers?i talked to a company representative he said its cheap so its shared server.Is it true?

 

[nickjohnston]

Shared hosting is much cheaper, as it lacks the control and resources of dedicated hosting.

 

[c.smith]

Dont you think shared hosting is slow?

I use hostgator.com, their based in America and relatively inexpensive, shared hosting

I wouldn't always go for the cheapest. You want to make sure your site has no down time, that the speed is fast and that your IP address is located in the country you want to target. As all of these things can impact your SEO rankings.

craig: what is your website uptime in shared server?

BDR: what would you suggest?

 

[craig3000]

As far as I'm aware it's never gone down, been using now for 4 months, they guarantee 99.9% uptime.

There support is also v.good, they have an online chat system (real people) too if you need to ask them any questions

Nethosted offer shared and dedicated hosting at good prices and the customer service is the best I have experienced.

What a crazy series of spammy topics by this guy o.o

But hosting chat is good for me, thanks for the mentions

I read somewhere in SEO tips that you should choose a host that is based in your home country, as it improves the speed and country relativity of the site to the host. Not sure how true this is? Anyone else heard this?

That's true, yes - the reason is on the country specific searches, the search engines will only show sites hosted in that country OR which use that country's extension.

So - hosting a .uk domain in the US isn't "too bad", but hosting a .com domain in the US but needing it to show in the UK results won't work. But a .com hosted in the UK is fine. Simples!

It should defiantly help with speed to viewers in your country, which should be your target audience. Google now also takes your sites speed into consideration when ranking.
