Can the Hosting plan affect SEO?

Although at first impression it seems that the Hosting plan does not matter, in fact there are certain factors that can affect SEO and have to be taken into account when hiring a Hosting plan, for example;

• Page speed: This is a big ranking factor for Google search engines. If you choose a Hosting with wide bandwidth the website will be very fast. If you have a very big website, shared Hosting with limited bandwidth will affect negatively on the website, because it will be slower, no matter if you have news, blogs, videos, etc. It all depends on what kind of website you are going to have and the resources you need. For example, with our Smart Hosting + we assure you that the website will go like a rocket, no matter if you have made it by yourself, WordPress, PrestaShop, etc.
• The Hosting plan has to do the basics and what is necessary for the website, so you won't have big problems neither with the Hosting nor with the SEO.
• It can affect the location of the Hosting, because if you want to open a business in Germany it is better to choose a Hosting from there. Also, it depends on what you want to do, because it will be legal in one country and not in another. Therefore, if you want to appear first in the search engines of a particular country, be careful what kind of business or content you do.
• Uptime, when choosing a Hosting you have to look for a company with a lot of experience and which knows how to manage downtime as quickly as possible, as this affects the SEO. Also, if the company has a lot of experience, it already knows and/or has infrastructures that help to avoid many problems, so you will avoid possible headaches. At SW Hosting we have more than 20 years of experience and we have our own infrastructures that help to manage, and directly avoid, these downtimes.
• Backups themselves do not directly affect SEO, but it helps a lot if one day something goes wrong, in order to be able to recover all the information without affecting the SEO.
• The SSL certificate serves not only to keep the website secure, but is also an important ranking factor for SEO. So, you have to check if SSL is available in your Hosting plan. For example, we offer you a free SSL certificate on all Hosting plans, even the free one.
• Being able to grow and scale is very crucial, because as your website grows your needs will change. So, the Hosting plan should allow you to scale it in a few clicks, in order to not affect negatively the SEO.
