It is not surprising that everybody wants to make the right choice when it comes to picking up a fast web hosting. Actually, people did not use to pay so much attention to this characteristic but things seem to have changed recently. The surveys show that more and more users claim that being provided with fast web hosting is one of the main factors determining the level of customers’ satisfaction. There are probably only a couple of factors which are considered more important (uptime and disc space). However, there are plenty of articles discussing these two but there is very little information about the speed of a web hosting. The surveys show that more and more users claim that being provided with fast web hosting is one of the main factors determining the level of customers’ satisfaction. There are probably only a couple of factors which are considered more important (uptime and disc space).

The truth is that it is extremely difficult to recognize whether a web hosting is fast or not. The reason is that the web host providers do not like to give information about the speed in their offers but they inform mainly about disc space, bandwidth, RAM, rating etc.

Some of you might say that it is impossible to find out a fast web hosting but there are actually some "tricks" which you need to learn. They will certainly come in useful when you have to take your final decision.

Firstly, lack of information about something usually means that the feature lacks or is not at the level most of the users would require it to be. This is absolutely valid about the speed of a web hosting. You can be 100% sure that if the speed is good, it will be mentioned at least 2-3 times in the offer. Unfortunately, this is not a very reliable method of finding out your fast web hosting as there are many providers who lack competence and they often do not mention this important characteristic even if their web hosting is fast.

Another, more efficient, way which you can use is paying attention to some other features. There are some "non-written" rules which are valid in 90% of all offers. For example, if it is a dedicated server (a private server), then you can be sure that the speed will be very high. If the bandwidth and RAM are unlimited, then you also have a good chance of being provided with good speed although it may be a shared server. By the way, shared servers often give the customers services of very good quality! And if you are still in the group of people who underestimate the significance of the speed (when hosting is concerned), then you definitely need to go to our web site and get some more information about the topic.
