As promised, we’ve got speed. About 300% faster than my previous host which shall remain un-named. You can email me if you want to know who to avoid.
The winner was Bluehost and if you are looking for a good place to host your next website, I give them a thumbs up.
Speed and Performance Do Matter
Given that website performance is on the radar for Google’s ranking in 2010 and future, if you take Matt Cutts’ informed opinions into account. So switching now made sense to me.
It already matters to your user experience anyhow. Users leave sites where the pages take a long time to load. Unless you’ve got a site people are drooling over, you may be losing traffic already.
It’s not 2002 when people might have waited forever for their favorite sites to load. Peoples patience levels have dropped considerably and they may never come back.
Are you really saving money with the cheapest web host?
Who doesn’t want there site up 100% of the time? If you generate any money on your website, dead air-time can cost you big. It’s amazing how some people will look for the cheapest hosting solution, only to lose money in the end when their reliability and performance costs them sales.
Cheaper isn’t always better.
I will admit it’s time consuming work to move a website, particularly a blog, to another host. But the satisfaction I get out of working faster and saving time is all the reward I need. Let me know if you have a better solution, but for now I’m staying here for awhile.
