[Question] Does Choosing Hosting is a SEO Factor

Last Update: June 10, 2012
Hi..

It is been long time I have asked a question.. recently this question came into my mind I thought about our WA community and asked them they might have some good answer and solution.

I know that choosing a good hosting provider is very important in our business but question I want to ask is does hosting can give negative & positive aspect to SEO factor in terms of ranking.

I host my all the website in a shared hosting and they are very good in support and speed but always concern me that if sometime happens with the other website which is hosted in the same server with my website as a shared hosting. If the other website gives trouble will my website will be affected because the IP is effect..or so in the eyes of search engine.

What I want to ask is simple, does hosting is good factor for SEO and is shared hosting is good or bad in terms of SEO.

Waiting for your good answers so I can understand what steps to take next.

Thanks

Thanx Fakhrul Alam for the question, one I have had in the back of my mind for a while and thanx Carson for the detailed explanation.

I personally have struggled with WA hosting a bit but I think that is just me. Things are a little more locked down. I have experienced repeated log-ins to tweak things.

Spreading your sites around so all your eggs are not in one basket is a good idea.

Also with IPv6 rolling out on the internet, servers, hosting etc... this will become an outdated concern.

Thanks carson for the great reply, I am not worried about spreading my site over different IP I am just worried that is shared hosting have any negative or positive factor on SEO ranking.. as you said Google does not look on hosting they look on my content so I think hosting is not major factor..

When I have huge number of visitor than I might go for dedicated server or cloud hosting.... thanks for your great help..
