A Few facts about Our Sydney Business Web Website
Once upon a time, we've were busy doing website design and hosting for a long time, and then we poured our knowledge and expertise into a new vehicle - Sydney Business Web - Pinpoint Local. That didn't work out so we withdrew from the franchise, but the web legacy hangs on like smelly old fish!
Pinpoint servers were in the US, but we STILL offer our customers premium hosting with servers currently in the US and Europe. Which brings us to the first question:
Should my Sydney business website be hosted in Australia?
That's a really, really good question!!!
The answer is - it doesn't matter, as long as the implementation of your website and its hosting is technically proficient. This is why:
The Use of Content Data Networks (CDNs)
Content Data Networks store code and content from your website at nodes all over the world. So how does that work? Let's take our on website - Sydney Business Web - which is hosted in the Europe with customers in Australia. We use the Cloudflare CDN which is available to all our customers' websites. Cloudflare has a node in Sydney where we do business, so when someone clicks onto a link to our website in Sydney, the data is delivered locally - FANTASTIC!
This applies to anyone clicking through to our website anywhere in the world - the data is delivered locally which means it's FAST.
Sydney Business web - Website Speed - Blazingly Fast!
The image at the top of this post is a test conducted on this website about half an hour ago. The FULL loading time on a desktop is 0.8s. That's blazingly fast! The test is made for reading the website in Australia. Our website is hosted in the United States.
The Importance of a Clean Website Neighborhood
OK - so that's speed taken care of from the hosting end. (Obviously, you need a fast website to achieve these speeds and fast hosting and good CDN is the next issue). But what about the website neighborhood quality - how does that affect website ranking?
What is a bad neighborhood?
Many hosting schemes are 'shared', and this is always the case for cheap hosting. What this means is that your legitimate business website can share an Internet address with gambling sites, pornography websites and even websites supporting totally illegal activities. This simply cannot be good for your rankings - ever! So you need to be very, very careful where you host.
