    SEO trends to follow in 2024 (for web hosting companies)

    Interesting, Index now is great but I've seen a decline in how fast it works so I would say use it sparingly remember Google says that it's for news only. I think after the AI rush google uses it for flagging. Indexing 100s of pages is akin to spam. With AI all was great till the March update...

    You Opinion on on AI in websites.

    I know when the whole AI thing started Google stated that it was fine with AI and would penalize it in serps. But as with everything Google you have to read between the lines, they didn't say... trashy content, mass produced content and copied content would now also be ok. I see a lot of...

    I miss FrontPage

    What's funny is that later in life or my career, I tend to prefer plainer text editors like Sublime... then I turned to Brackets then ended up in Notepad. I guess speed and less clutter have become more and more important to me when I'm working.

    SEO Backlinks

    You know Google will ignore most of these links, as somebody with a ton of sites I've tried a lot and I can say 99.9% of these links don't move the needle, If somebody is openly selling links online, do you think Google won't notice, Do you think they won't have domains with a large amount of...

    Website security measures like strong passwords, SSL certificates, and regular backups.

    What you need to understand first and foremost. All websites can be hacked. All you can do is make it very hard and not worth it for the hackers. What you say above is correct. SSL help encrypt data, backups are a MUST ect. Random-generated passwords are also needed don't use a word with a...

    I miss FrontPage

    I think Frontpage was before my time... but I started on Dreamweaver before Adobe went all cloud It helped me learn a heck of a lot about HTML, CSS, and JS, I remember even setting up, my very first localhost and working on those files with Dreamweaver and then started into PHP I was mostly...

    Can someone give me some feedback about this hosting company?

    I see that is an interesting approach. I don't believe you are a big enough brand to do that. Remember clients perceive more value in bigger brands, that's why you pay tons of cash for a pair of Nikes. So yes Godaddy is a few dollars more expensive but its Godaddy, its a "good trusted company...

    Can someone give me some feedback about this hosting company?

    I can't speak for your ads targeting too much. YOu may want to look at insights to see who you were competing with, did you have a good ctr? If you did that means people looked and found a "better" service. It may be that you just targeted the wrong audience and even if you do target the right...

    Anchor texts

    Hi Romes, Not sure if you mean traffic from Google or from the sites you are listed on. In the case of the sites you are listed on I can't see them but I would try to use more descriptive anchor text. to create a better CTR. I believe you are using "natural link anchor texts" but you need some...

    host.ing for as low as $39,000/yr

    39k HOLY Smokes. I dont know how strong this type of domain will be when it comes to Google's ranking but it's been known they have reduced the value of a direct match URL... if this even is one, I'm pretty sure they're going to continue doing that. But for 39k you could create a pretty strong...

    What do you look for in an ideal hosting provider?

    It depends on what you use them for are you a reseller, just talking with them? For me, there are two things: fast support from people who know what they are doing—and reliability in their infrastructure. Can you phone them?... this is one that is a dealbreaker for me though I don't use it...

    Phone support - How important is it in the hosting industry

    This here is key. Actually for live chat as well. Phone support is super effective, especially for more critical issues, but you need somebody who can action things and is knowledgeable. It can really create a very strong customer bond. If they say thank you we will escalate it you may as...

    WHMCS Expensive

    Cpanel is definitely a part of it. I've seen a lot of small and large hosting providers revamp their entire systems to use Plesk and direct admin. Here in RSA there is definitely a move away from it. With the Rand Dollar exchange rate being 19.33 / 1 a few dollars can quickly become an...
