SEO-friendly hosting

As one of the elements of the SEO process there must be present a platform for placing the web site or hosting. A place where you plan to install the site could play a role in the speed, efficiency and resource promotion.

By using all sorts of cheap or “discounted” platforms, your IP address can get mixed up with thousands of other sites, hosted in the same place, which will not help growing positive characteristics of the ranking. Your ability to determine the DNS records may be limited. The efficiency of the site can be reduced because of the long traces. Databases can affect the appearance of errors in the HTTP headers during frequent queries and so on.

All this makes us have a closer look at the choice of hosting that is acceptable in order to deal effectively with SEO and promotion.

SEO hosting - what to pay attention to:

1. The presence of a dedicated IP for your site, or at least, a separate Class C IP.

2. The presence of short trace-route or the route from the server where the site is located to the users of the target audience

3. The presence of isolated (cluster) cycles for the actual site and database

4. Possibility of 301 and 302 redirects

5. Ability to create custom pages for server-level errors of 404 (not found)

6. Ability to establish and edit such directives as mod_rewrite and mod_alias (for UNIX / Linux) or add non-comipled dll modules (for Windows)

7. The possibility of unlimited access to the file .htacess (for UNIX / Linux)

8. The presence and the ability to download raw log files of the site.

Today, many ISPs offer hosting services with such characteristics. A little research will allow you not only to find a suitable site, but also saves time, nerves and money during the on-going web site optimization and site promotion in search engines.
