There are not many things worse than slow hosting.
Slow hosting will cost you conversions and Google rankings which is why it is an absolute nightmare. This means it’s leaving a direct negative effect on your revenue.
Luckily throughout this article, we’re going to take a look at how to fix and avoid slow hosting.
Slow Hosting: What To Avoid
The most common and significant reason why hosting is slow is because it’s shared.
Shared hosting means many websites are sitting on the same server, all using up the resources. Quite often, it can be hundreds of websites sat there, all eating up the resources of your server. There also isn’t a way to separate them, if they are on the same server.
This is extremely bad as if one website is using too many resources by having too many visitors it will harm the other websites. Additionally, if one website is being attacked by hackers, it leaves all the others vulnerable too.
If you’re on the same server as hundreds of other websites, the risk that one of them fits into one of these cases is pretty large. In which case, it’s probably why your website is slow.
So, the most important step to avoid slow hosting is to avoid shared hosting.
VPS Hosting: What Is It?
The best alternative to shared hosting is getting VPS hosting.
VPS stands for “Virtual Private Server” which basically means, you will be getting your own server. Therefore, you will not be sharing your server’s resources with hundreds of other websites.
For any serious business, VPS hosting is essential.
What Are The Benefits?
The main benefit of VPS hosting is that your website will load much faster, as you aren’t dependant on other websites’ use of resources.

Additionally, this is also much more secure, as now you aren’t vulnerable when any other website is getting hacked, because you’re the only website on your server.
The faster loading times will also decrease your bounce rate while increasing your conversions. For this reason, it essentially pays for itself, as you’ll enjoy more visitors converting into customers. Plus, Google loves fast sites, so you will also rank higher organically, which will therefore lead to more organic traffic.
