Hosting Server Response Times – Q & A
Had a good friend ask me this morning about hosting server speeds and response times, because he is not pleased with the response times he is getting on some of his domains. So I made it a Q & A regarding hosting services.
Hosting Speed and Response Time Question – What Hosting Company is the Best
Question:
Hi Brent, are you still using these guys. I have been finding that their response time is not great for page loads etc. Here are some comments on their hosting service. I think I am going to switch everything over to GoDaddy. However when you look at feedback for GoDaddy, it is not great either. Who are you using these days?
Answer:
It’s all very subjective and response time on servers completely depends on the design of the site. Some webmasters add too much Java script, rolling images, big images, complicated designs, are just “too much stuff” – etc. etc.
Our main sites that we rely on for income are on Godaddy because over the years I’ve had less downtime with them.
That said though, I have sites that are with different hosts in case Godaddy has a big shut down, we will still make money from that site. We also use IXhosting and Mocha Host for redundancy purposes as well.
One thing that applies no matter what hosting service you use is how you setup your site and pages. If you are using the WordPress platform try to use fast loading themes with allot of white space, and images that are light in color and size.
There is no real FOR SURE option with hosting, because we are talking about machines, and machines break down sometimes – it’s guaranteed. You know……..like humans –
