B2B vs. B2C SEO: What's the Difference?
Why Choosing The Best Web Hosting Is Crucial For Your Business
I feel tech articles can often be a little on the dry side so we are going to spice things up with an analogy. Now, the purpose of web hosting is to connect your clients with your company’s website. Hosting is taking your clients from A to B similar to how a taxi takes clients from one place to another. Today your hosting provider is going to be a taxicab.
HOW COULD THE WRONG HOSTING HURT MY BUSINESS?
- Security and Malware Attacks – Cars come with all sorts of security features. You can have standard locks, security alarms, and even GPS. You wouldn’t want someone hijacking your cab and you definitely don’t want a stranger to have access to your site. These hijackers are trying to dirrect traffic to their site and they do so by taking control of other sites. You’ve seen the Viagra ads that look out of place or the random text links that look like they don’t belong in the design. These are all examples of malware. Malware can be a direct result of the lack of web hosting security.
- Backups – Although there isn’t a perfect solution to keep your cabbie completely safe, you need to ensure your data is constantly being backed up. Think of this like having a replacement cab on hand incase anything were to happen to your main ride. These backups will allow you to get everything back up and running.
- Downtime – Any time your website is down is time you could be collecting leads. Like a broken down cab, if your website consistently goes down then you are consistently losing out on business.
- Negative Impact on your SEO Ranking – Every business in your industry wants to rank well on Google and other popular search engines. Search engines are constantly scouting through websites and if your website is frequently down, then your ranking will be affected. Think about it, if your taxi is constantly having issues then your clients aren’t going to refer their friends to your service. In the same way Google doesn’t want to direct users to a site that is frequently having issues.
