Hosting is often the most neglected decision when creating a website. Yet it determines your site's loading speed, availability and security. Bad hosting can negate all your SEO efforts.

The impact of hosting on SEO
Google measures TTFB (Time To First Byte) — the time your server takes to respond. Slow hosting generates a high TTFB that penalizes your ranking. Sites hosted on Vercel have an average TTFB of 50-100ms, compared to 500ms-2s for local shared hosting.
Questions to ask before choosing a hosting provider
- Where are the servers located?
- What uptime is guaranteed? (99.9% minimum)
- Is SSL included and automatic?
- What is the backup policy?
- Is there an integrated CDN?
