Website Hosting and Google Rank
(Page 1 of 4 )
The next step after planning and developing a website is to host it on the Internet. Who you're hosting with is an issue to be considered. Should you look at it with your SEO eyes or not? The issue of Web hosting is not just related to the price and features of the web hosting provider. Website owners who are far sighted consider other factors, such as search engine optimization. Does choosing a host provider make any difference in search engine rankings?
If you submit your site again and again to Google but you are still unable to get it indexed, it may be your host provider who is responsible. There is a strong belief that increasing a website's rank is contingent upon a unique IP address. On the other hand, it doesn't seem necessary because these days most websites are hosted on shared IPs. On a single computer many servers run side by side and serve different domains from single IPs.
If you look at any SEO forums, you will see several discussions about web hosting concerns as well as name server issues. Many times the thought seems to be something along the lines of "A 'cheap' web hosting company hosts my site. But, the host may also be hosting numerous spammers, scam sites, or other banned sites like Gambling and or Porn. The price is right at less then 10 bucks per month for 5000 MB and unlimited domains, but does that affect my rank and does it risk my website?"
The answer is Yes and No. It may affect you to some extent and it may not affect you in other concerns. Let's find out out where the rubber meets the road.
