Thus, ultimately having an impact on search engine rankings too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So today, we will be talking about the SEO effect of the hosting that you choose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"theme_subhead\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting your website live won\u2019t do good for your business until the website shows up in search results and visitors come to the site. <strong>Search Engine Optimization<\/strong> makes it possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the type of hosting you choose affects SEO. In this blog, we will be talking in detail about cloud hosting and its SEO impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we begin, let\u2019s understand the basics of cloud hosting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"theme_subhead\">What is cloud hosting?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A server is a physical system that hosts your website and makes it available to the users. Now when your website is called from location X and your server is at location Y, it takes some time for the server to respond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now imagine the physical web hosting server being split up and placed at different locations. This process is what we technically call virtualization. These data centers (where the split-up servers are located) make your website more accessible. From anywhere in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-fusion-400 wp-image-19863\" src=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-400x400.webp\" alt=\"cloud hosting\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-66x66.webp 66w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-200x200.webp 200w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-800x800.webp 800w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So simply stated, cloud hosting is one of the many types of web hosting where you have multiple servers located at different places. All the servers are equally important and there is no primary or backup server.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This increases the speed and accessibility of your website, which ultimately has an effect on your site\u2019s SEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below we have elaborated upon <strong>3 key search engine optimization advantages of cloud hosting<\/strong> for your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"theme_subhead\">3 SEO benefits of cloud hosting for your website<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"theme_subhead_h3\">1. Better website speed and performance<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google considers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monsterinsights.com\/google-ranking-factors\/#:~:text=Did%20you%20know%20that%20there%20are%20over%20200%20Google%20ranking%20factors%3F\">200+ parameters<\/a> for ranking websites. One of the most important parameters among those is website speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19859\" src=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-300x300.webp\" alt=\"website speed\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-66x66.webp 66w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-200x200.webp 200w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-800x800.webp 800w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fast-loading websites have a definitive edge over their slow-loading counterparts. Moreover, even people like websites that load quickly. In fact, people expect websites to load within 2 seconds or less. Thus, when your site loads faster, people are less likely to bounce off without interacting with it. This also increases your engagement metrics, which further signals to Google that your site is worth ranking higher in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the many ways you can boost your site speed, cloud hosting is the simplest and foremost way. Cloud hosting is faster than traditional hosting because the servers are located in various locations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So say, someone tries to access your website from the UK. Then your cloud\u2019s UK-based server will respond and the site will load quickly. With traditional hosting, the website fetch and load speed might have been lower given that you have only 1 physical server located in India, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, cloud hosting positively impacts your website\u2019s speed and thus, contributes to SEO.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"theme_subhead_h3\">2. Low website downtime<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19860\" src=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-300x300.webp\" alt=\"website downtime\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-66x66.webp 66w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-200x200.webp 200w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-800x800.webp 800w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, the whole concept of cloud hosting revolves around the fact that one physical server is broken down by the process of virtualization and the server is split between various geographically distant data centers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This directly results in lower downtimes for your website. How? Let\u2019s understand this with an example.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how technically stable your data center is, issues happen and servers go down sometimes. Now if your website\u2019s server goes down, it means your website\u2019s visitors are not able to access your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This increases the bounce rate which negatively affects rankings. Also, if your website is down often, Google might lower the rank of your website and in extreme, situations, your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website might also get deindexed<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for having enough uptime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That won\u2019t happen with cloud hosting. Why? Because with cloud hosting, even if one of your servers is down, your website will remain up because it can be fetched from other servers. This reduces downtime and this saves you from negative SEO outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"theme_subhead_h3\">3. Better website security<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19861\" src=\" https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-300x300.webp\" alt=\"website security\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-66x66.webp 66w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-200x200.webp 200w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-400x400.webp 400w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-800x800.webp 800w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud hosting runs through virtual and geographically isolated machines. This means that if the virtualization software is properly configured, the system is more secure than traditional hosting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, issues with one of the servers won\u2019t cause your website to go down, which means your site will stay secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better website security helps your SEO cause because Google gives preference to websites that are more secure. In fact, Google is known for flagging insecure sites and letting users know that.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"theme_subhead\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking the first step today<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have understood the SEO advantages of cloud hosting for your website, it is time to take the first step toward building an SEO-friendly website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But getting just cloud hosting is not enough.
