Has anyone already tried these hosting service (iPage, Just Host, a small orange and Fat Cow) ?
-
Which one is better in your experience? Please don't suggest other hosting services. I just want to know your thoughts from website management, blogging, hosting and SEO standpoint about the 4 mentioned hosting sites. Thanks in advance!

Can't believe you being an Interactive Marketing Manager fell for a cheap looking fake review affiliate site.
Except A Small Orange, the others are crap. As horrible as you can get in the hosting industry.

Hi,
I'd check out this page which compares all of of them. It appears that Just Host had the best overall rankings:

Side note: one of my friends using Fat Cow and has been satisfied with it.
Hope this helps.

Recommended hosting companies for best TTFB?
Right now my client has a wordpress website with over 300 pages (mostly blog posts). Their average TTFB (time to first byte) is 3017 ms. They have a SSL and their current hosting company is Site 5. Does anybody have any recommendations for a better hosting company? We are willing to up the budget for better performance.

Wow, does a website's hosting company have that much affect on SEO?
As a small SEO agency, we also handle hosting for some of our clients. Our clients' sites are Wordpress. We set them up with a Bluehost account with a dedicated IP address, and spend a lot of time focusing on load times (implementing a CDN, optimizing images, installing W3 Total cache and using recommended settings, etc.). Last month, we had a client inform us that they are bringing their web marketing efforts in-house, so they switched to a new hosting provider and took their (existing) site to the new hosting company. They kept their old Google Analytics code installed, so I can still see how much traffic they're getting. Since switching to a new host, despite the load times taking longer, no CDN, and other errors that came up prior to us spending time "optimizing" the website, their organic traffic has increased by 26%. Same exact website, same inbound link profile. According to Webmaster Tools, their impressions and clicks have also seen dramatic increases. So now, obviously, I'm considering looking into other options for the hosting of our other clients' websites. From your experience, and especially when it comes to Wordpress websites, do you think that a hosting company can make that big of a difference in terms of SEO? I've heard of positive results from people who have used WP-Engine, and other Wordpress-dedicated hosting companies, but I just find it hard to believe that we spent so much time on load-time-specific ranking factors and come to find out, a different hosting company would have made a huge difference. Any thoughts/feedback?

Trying to rank on top 3 in Google.co.uk for a moderate competitive keyword by having a .dk domain
Do you think I should switch my domain to a .com and use ccTLDs method for my other international domains ? The problem is that my .dk domain(norwell.dk) has a better SEO ranking that my .com domain (norwelloutdoorfitness.com) and also differs slightly in name. The primary keyword I want to rank is ' outdoor fitness' which is in the name of 'norwelloutdoorfitness.com', thus over the long-term providing better benefits. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Andrei

Hosting a Company Blog
What is the best practice for hosting a company blog for an eCommerce website? As a subfolder or as a subdomain or a separate domain entirely? Or some other option? There are articles recommending each of these approaches, but it’s difficult to identify which is the most recently preferred approach.

WordPress blog hosted on GoDaddy domain mapping help
We set up a WP blog that's hosted through GoDaddy. For various reasons, we purchased a URL to use to get through the technical build and set up and are trying to map that to a subdomain of our company website. (We can't host it on our own server, unfortunately). My question is: for WP blogs hosted via WP you can buy a domain mapping upgrade and I'm trying to find a similar plugin that could offer the same thing that would apply to our GoDaddy hosting and point to our subdomain (GD apparently doesn't offer the domain mapping). Anyone have any thoughts, please?
