Having a good web host is as important \u2013 if not more crucial \u2013 than a great web site\u00a0since it\u00a0has everything to do with SEO.<\/a><\/p>\n

A hosting plan that serves your data at a lightning fast rate, with minimal downtime, from a server that is free of bandwidth hogs and shady IP’s can make Google see your site in a more favorable way.<\/p>\n

Most of us start our blogs on a shared server and pay $5-10 per month to eek out space there. After all, who can afford a dedicated server where we have full control over our data without competing with servermates?<\/p>\n

But there is a middle ground in web hosting plans that offers control\u00a0at an affordable rate. It’s called a virtual private server (VPS) and most of them are located in the Cloud.<\/p>\n

VPS are still \u201cshared\u201d with other users, but the technology used to assign resources and keep users separate is much more sophisticated. On VPS servers, the memory is divided in advance, creating speedier response times, which leads to higher search ranking.<\/p>\n

I’m planning to move this site to a VPS. For five years it’s been hosted at Bluehost on a shared server and now I’m looking for a change.<\/p>\n

So, a couple months ago, I went\u00a0on an online hunt for a new web host. I started with all the hosts I could think of, using reviews from popular blog sites who keep track of them.<\/p>\n

Then it occurred to me: why not ask my friends on Facebook?<\/p>\n

\"Advanced<\/a>
\nI asked the members of Advanced WordPress\u00a0Facebook Group<\/strong> what hosts they use\u00a0and was blown away by the response. Not surprised that they responded, but that most of the web hosts recommended were companies I’d never heard of!<\/p>\n

So I decided to share them with you in case you are seeking new hosting and want to get away from the GoDaddy’s of the world.<\/p>\n
