Hosting SEO Tips
Search engine optimization is not only about this anymore. In fact, those mean less than ever in a successful SEO campaign. So what are the requirements of good SEO Hosting?
1. Use Linux Hosting
Don’t get Windows Hosting. Linux hosting is much better (lots of free software, htaccess/mod-rewrite, good community support, etc). Hostgator and 1&1 are the linux hosting I recommend.
2. Get Unique IP’s.
There is no proof on this one, but I believe having an unique IP is ’starting fresh’. Some shared hosting companies do not allow you to do this so make sure before signing up. (Hostgator allows you to get one for 2$/month or gives one free with the business package). You don’t want to be on the same IP with a gay porn site, right?
3. Buy 3-Month-in-Advance Hosting
Buy your hosting from companies that require at least 3 months in advance! Find a hosting company that requires at least 3 months commitment. Most spammers, blackhatters etc. go for a cheap host that they can leave in a week or two. You don’t want to be in the same boat with them. Some good hosts that require at least a 3-month contract are Hostgator, 1&1 and Host Monster.
4. Uptime
What if Google attempts to crawl your site and it’s down? You don’t want that. Use WebHostingStuff to find actual Up-Time data for particular hosts.
