Guys, does web hosting really affect SEO or it’s just hype? I heard things like speed, uptime, and SSL can affect your ranking and I'm beginning to believe that it's actually true. . But how do you know if a host is actually SEO-friendly?
If your website is e-commerce or stores any sensitive customer/employee data at all, you need a good SSL certificate. Make sure if they offer it, it covers all of your security bases. If not, a multitude of third-party SSL providers exist for you to turn to.
