Fast Websites Require Fast Hosting
Speed and performance: The hosting service should have fast server response times and provide optimized server configurations to ensure your website loads quickly.
Why does your website need fast hosting? People are impatient and will leave websites that load slowly. The figure I used to use was 10 seconds, as in visitors will bounce from a site that takes over 10 seconds to load. Today, the statistics are that sites that load in 2 seconds have a 9% bounce rate, while those loading in 5 seconds have a 38% leave rate.
Fast Hosting is One Component of a Fast Website
How do you find fast hosting?
- Short answer: Choose to host with BBDS Design. We are committed to keeping our hosts uncrowded, speedy and affordable!
- Choose a host that runs uncrowded servers. Since the consolidation of the hosting industry, those hosting companies are harder to find. You can do a reverse IP lookup on some hosts to determine how many sites reside on one IP address.
- Run your own VPS. This can be expensive, but is a good choice if you have excellent technical skills and the time.
- Run a managed VPS. A managed VPS is more expensive because of the on-call sysadmin services.
- Run a dedicated server. More expensive still, and requires even more technical skill, but in most cases the network infrastructure is provided by the facility.
- Run your own hardware on your own network infrastructure. You are brave, intelligent and may have deep pockets. You will have to have considerable technical chops.
BBDS Design runs it own managed VPS servers and is committed to keeping them small, speedy and inexpensive. Over the years we have continually upgraded: adding a server, more memory and CPUs, and faster web server software (Litespeed). When the admin panel provider cPanel was bought by a vulture capitalist, we committed to paying the much higher license fees to offer our hosting clients the best hosting admin panel on offer (in our opinion).
Our commitment is to keep our hosting uncrowded, speedy and inexpensive.
