Good hosting = higher search rankings?
Interesting article on how hosting affects search results. Makes sense – faster loading pages are crawled more frequently?
One of the newer features of the Google Webmaster console is that to control the relative frequency of Googlebot visits – with the option to turn down the frequency for those sites which may struggle with the bandwidth / load. t’s not a major stretch, then, to assume that the amount and frequency of spidering is based in part on the page response time – if Google detects a slowing in page response rate, it may slacken off the spidering in response to that. Perhaps the effects of a quick page response are more important than the rate of spidering – could Google be using this data to build a profile of responsiveness across sites? Could this be yet another factor in ranking?

I don’t think that hosting vendors can play any role in the process of SEO of a client’s site.
