Hosting & Server
Web hosting is the service of providing storage space on a server connected to the internet, making website files accessible to users globally. Hosting options range from shared hosting to VPS, dedicated servers, and cloud hosting platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure — each with different performance, reliability, and cost characteristics.
Server performance directly impacts SEO through TTFB, uptime, and response times — all measurable via Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, and uptime monitoring tools like Pingdom. Google Search Console's Crawl Stats report shows how server response times affect Googlebot's crawl efficiency.
