Increasing Website Speed With Better Hosting

 

You may hear about the term all-inclusive hosting a lot but you never really understood how it is related to your business until you started having problems with website speed.

You see, load time matters immensely in online marketing because every second spent on loading your website means customers—and money—either won or lost.

According to studies, 47% of visitors will leave a website if it takes more than three seconds to load and 79% of customers will not buy again from a website where they previously experienced slow speeds.

So if you’ve been experiencing slow website speeds lately, you cannot take any chances and sacrifice your brand reputation. While there are many things that you can do to increase the speed of your website, finding a better host is still one of the best solutions in the book.

 

How to choose a host

Not all web hosts are created equal. Some offer only the basic package that while affordable may not be as efficient while others have more advanced options that could set you back up to a thousand dollars a year.

To choose the right host for your needs, here are a few factors that you should consider:

  • Your needs. There are different types of hosting options depending on what you need. Shared hosting, for instance, is ideal for small to medium-sized websites without a lot of pages and traffic. All-inclusive hosting, on the other hand, offers everything you could possibly need, especially if you’re running a huge website with a shopping cart and several functionalities.
  • Your website. Your website is different from others because it’s designed specifically to cater to your needs. So when choosing a host, it’s very important to consider the type of website that you’re building to ensure that it can handle your site’s functionality without causing delays in loading time.
  • Your non-negotiables. Choosing the right web host means considering all the non-negotiable features that should be included on your website. It can be your domain name, your bandwidth, storage, RAM, and other non-negotiables that will help ensure that efficiency of your host, especially in keeping page load times fast.
  • Your plans for growth. Of course, you can’t just choose a host that could cater to what you already need because chances are, you will be growing within a few months. This is why it’s very important to find a web host that will really stick with you in the long run without sacrificing the quality of your website.

Speed definitely plays a crucial role in determining whether your website makes it big or not.

According to a study, a website that was able to reduce its load time from seven to two seconds was able to enjoy 25% more page views and a staggering 12% increase in sales. So if you want to stay ahead of the pack, be sure to invest in the right host today.
