Hosting is invisible when it works and painfully obvious when it doesn't. Here's what to look for so your website stays fast, secure and online.

Uptime in real numbers

99.9% uptime allows roughly 8.7 hours of downtime per year. 99% allows more than 3.5 days. That difference can mean lost sales, lost trust and lost search rankings.

Speed matters too

Visitors leave slow sites, and Google favours fast ones. Good hosting, modern infrastructure and optimised images keep load times short, especially on mobile data.

Security basics

Look for hosting that includes:

  • HTTPS / SSL certificates
  • Regular updates and monitoring
  • Protection against common attacks
  • Reliable backups

Simple, predictable pricing
