Web Hosting | Does web hosting affect SEO?

One question that I have been asked in whether or not the Web Hosting Data Centre's Technology can affect Search Engine Optimisation?!

The answer to that question... Is in fact yes.

The technology behind the web hosting companies can affect how well your website ranks within the search engines.

This is mainly to do with where your website hosting provider has its servers located; and whether the website which you are trying to rank for within that local area is hosted within that country.

IE. A website that you would like to rank well in the UK for a keyword should be hosted within the UK in order to get the best results. For example, Giraffe Digital; a High Performance Web Hosting host their website locally for better search engine rankings. Another example of good search engine optimisation (SEO) is a Highway Contrator company such as Traffic Management Solutions Kent whose website ranks well for their chosen keywords because of the relevant content related to their Traffic Management Company. 

Another loca firm that uses the servers of Giraffe Hosting is Complete Brickwork Solutions, a brickwork specialist firm based in Maidstone, Kent. They use Giraffe Hosting because their services are fast loading and provide 1st class support to their clients.

Do search engines like three way links?

There are so many many types of links about these days, some of them are just good and honest; but, we also have people trying to use something which we all know of as; Black Hat SEO.

This is not the kind of thing that you should be using, if you want a good rank.
Play it fair, build few links, write some articles, get traffic from Social Bookmarking websites, Forums, and from friends and let the revenue build.

Building a website is never that easy without your own web host. A good website hosting company can sometimes be hard to find, but whilst looking for a good amount of web space, bandwidth, PHP, and MySQL amounts; you should take a close look at TOS.

Either way, back on subject.

The search engines, do not seem to know what a three way link is because, it looks so innocently like a normal one way link exchange to them, from two different sites.

This is always a bonus for both website owners.
