Hosting

Your Website Needs a Home.

Website hosts are companies that provide space on a server that has a dedicated connection to the internet. Your website files “live” on the server in order to be accessible by the public.

Design SEO Hosting provides reliable WordPress hosting solutions for all of our clients.

Each site is different and has its own hosting needs. We’ll work with you to develop a system that will work best for your existing infrastructure.

Hosting costs are in accordance to your space and bandwidth needs, but typically start at $15/month with discounts for purchasing a year or more in advance. Along with fast, secure hosting, we perform off-site backups, so we’ll always have a fresh copy of your website “just in case”.

We offer monthly or yearly billing for all accounts, and invoicing is done via email. We currently accept payment through PayPal (credit cards through PayPal), check, money order or cash.

Hosting and SEO

In April 2010, Google announced page load speeds are now a factor in search engine ranking. (source – http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html)

Many low cost hosting providers offer their service at a valuable SEO cost – slower page load speeds.

If we consider this in broader terms, it makes sense that search engines would penalize sites with pages that load more slowly, as a speedier experience is more pleasing to a user.

At Design SEO Hosting we offer solid hosting solutions without cutting corners or sacrificing page load times, all without breaking your budget.

Our two cents regarding “free” or reduced fee hosting services

You can’t get something for nothing, and this is especially true on the web. Companies offering free hosting are often unreliable connections, which may mean your site will experience considerable down time. Free hosts may also include pop-up advertising on your site, which will ultimately distract your visitors and take away from the web identity you are trying to create.
