Yes indeed, who would have thought it, but your web hosting provider could indirectly be costing you the chance of good placements in the major search engine Google.
This means your Shared Web Hosting company will keep up the maintenance and updates, and provide technical support for its users. This is a huge benefit for those who do not have the time, knowledge or resources (like many small businesses I know) to do this. In this sense it makes huge sense to go with Shared Web Hosting. The average cost of a reliable shared web hosting package is less than $7.00 per month. You will be paying at least ten times that amount for a dedicated server.
Then you should also go elsewhere. All good hosts should provide a Shared Web Hosting UK where you can check the speed of the server. If they don't, ask them to provide one.
Then you will need to look at the uptime. If web hosting companies give you guarantee uptime, look at it carefully. Most of the reliable hosting providers will give you guarantee uptime around 99 %.
As an added benefit, there are companies that not only do they provide you with Affordable Web Hosting but they also give you a ton of extras like adding blogs, shopping carts, MySQL databases and all that other stuff you could need.
Bandwidth Bandwidth is the amount of data that can be transferred over the network in a fixed amount of time. On the Net, it is usually expressed in bits per second (bps) or in higher units like Mbps (millions of bits per second). 28.8 modem can deliver 28,800 bps, a T1 line is about 1.5 Mbps.
Finally, part of the search engine equation is the people who are actually using the search engines. Higher rankings are more useful, but only if people choose your site over the others listed on the search results page. By including a well-written Meta description and having the keyword in your domain name, it will be clear that your site is a good choice for them to click on.
