How location of VPS server matters (SEO)?

0 replies
You should carefully chose your server

So, about the location of your server...

1. Network speed: If your virtual server is located in a foreign country, it may result into slow speed because the internet traffic in that country will be given priority instead of foreign connections. So, more than often, your users may experience errors, slow page loading and timeout messages (which isn't good for SEO).

By availing the VPS hosting services from reputed providers with excellent network infrastructure and global CDN services may be the good choice.

2. For SEO results: Location of the website is one of the relevant factor on the basis of which Google organizes the search rankings. For e.g. if the search originates from India, Google will first rank the websites from India. So, your chances of getting into the top rank of search engine may get undermined if your website is hosted in some other country.

However, one of the smart ways of overcoming this issue is to select your primary target country in the Google Webmaster Tools account.

3. Contact support: You never know when a technical glitch may trouble you, so the support should be up and available when you need them.

If your VPS server is located in the nation with different time zone, it may become difficult to reach them in the hour of need, literally, because of the timing differences. So, make sure the contact support of the VPS provider is available 24x7.

4. Cost factor: Location also impacts the costs of VPS services. I will tell you how. The servers need to be maintained in a cold environment for efficient functioning, so data centers have high-end cooling machines that bring huge electricity bills. These power costs are adjusted in the costs of service, making the price of services high.

But, when the data centers are located at some naturally freezing land, there will be negligible power bills; hence price of the services will be relatively lesser. (which is good for SEO, because you could invest some more money into advertising)

5. Language: Language or speech is different in every country and when the Virtual server is hosted far away in a foreign nation, you need to ensure about the availability of support services in a language that you understand.

I hope this is useful information
