ii. To Avoid a Slow-loading website:

Some website loads slowly even though they are not showing any ads on their websites. From research, Google Adsense sometimes slows the loading of pictures on a website a bit, but they have ways and measures they give their users on how to increase their website loading speed whiles showing their ads.

A bad web host will let your website load slowly 😅. Nobody loves a slow loading website, you can lose tons of traffic and when it’s an affiliate website you will not be making any sale at all. Remember Google also rank fast loading websites very high in their search results all the time.

iii. Avoid Unexpected Errors:

Those that spend most of their time browsing online will or may have ever noticed this. With a bad web host, your website shuts down unexpectedly and can’t get away with errors without your notice. This is one of the bad stuff you should not let happen to your blog.

 Because your website will never appear in even Google first five (5) pages in Google search results even though you have written well on the particular topic or keyword.

People like me save the domain names of websites in my head anytime I surf the internet, this is because of future reference, so if notice a website shutting down or giving me unexpected errors anytime I save it in head in other to avoid it in the future.

And this is going to cause huge damage to your website because you will be losing traffic and a website or blog without traffic can never grow.

i. Not cheap but Reasonable Prices
