How Does Web Hosting Affect SEO & Which One is Best?

Today’s Ask an SEO question comes from Julio in Houston, who asks:

“How does hosting affect SEO, and specifically what features one should look for when looking to host an affiliate website?”

This is a great question and I see a lot of misinformation about this on the internet.

Unfortunately, web hosting is a huge niche in the affiliate space. That means there’s a real incentive for people to write all kinds of articles and make all kinds of claims about how their hosting can help push your SEO over the limit.

In fact, I did a quick Google search for some SEO hosting questions and every result I found was from a site that also had hosting affiliate links on it.

I promise you, there won’t be any hosting recommendations or affiliate links in this…
