Benefits of Website Hosting with Black Nova Designs

If you have a website for your business, how much do you know about how it’s hosted? It might seem a little dull compared to the content and images on the website, but hosting is what keeps it online. It’s tempting to think that if your website is online then all is well with the hosting, and you don’t need to take a closer look.

But what if we told you that changing your hosting company is a way to help your website perform better, with fast loading speeds? That it can help improve your SEO and strengthen website security?  That our hosting ensures everything on the website is backed up and saved every 24 hours?  Or that it can help prevent your website going offline and you have 24/7 UK-based monitoring...

Then you’d probably prick your ears up and want to hear a lot more about our website hosting! In this blog we’ll take you through all the ways that good website hosting will help boost your business and make your life easier, so that you can focus on your day-to-day work.

Hosting can boost website loading speed & performance

Our web hosting often results in improved loading speed and website performance and that really matters for your business. Research shows that if a web page takes longer than around 3 seconds to load, nearly 30% of users will click away and choose a different search result. Clearly that’s bad news, and it doesn't stop there. Even if people do stick around and wait for it to load, buying intent drops with slow websites. If people have to wait for images to appear or if it takes them a long time to navigate around your website, they are less likely to buy from you.

And help search engine optimisation (SEO)

This point is another example of why it’s so important that your website loads quickly. A few years ago, Google factored site speed loading time into their search engine optimisation (SEO) rankings. Now, if your website pages take longer than 5 seconds to load, you’ll automatically drop down the search results. That means if someone types the keywords which should lead them to you into Google search (for example “nail bar in Swindon”) even if you’ve worked hard on SEO, you’re likely to be much further down in the results. All that hard work blogging and working on keywords ruined, just due to load speed… Good website hosting means your site has the best chance of loading quickly.

Great hosting delivers excellent uptime

How much does your business rely on your website being up and running? If your website went offline, would you lose valuable sales? Even if your business doesn’t rely on ecommerce, imagine if your dream client chose today to research what you do and how you do it. And... your website is offline. That would be pretty catastrophic, wouldn’t it? Our hosting service ensures that all the websites we host are monitored 24/7, with messages pinged straight to our mobiles if a website goes down. The chances are we'll know there’s an issue well before you do and can fix the issue. We also guarantee 99.9% uptime so it’s very rare for there to even be a problem in the first place.

The safety net of daily backup

How secure is your website hosting at the moment? If you’ve had something like ‘password1’ as your login for years, the chances are your website could be hacked at any moment. Some hackers might steal data and others might delete or change your content. Either way, you’d wish you had paid more attention to security. Thankfully, a daily backup of the site can restore the content and get you back up and running. For as long as you pay us to host your website, we’ll save a backup of your entire website every single day.

Heaps of storage and cPanel login

Most of the clients who switch their hosting to us have no idea how much storage or email space they had with their old hosting company. That might not trouble you, but would you like to hear what happens if you run out? Your emails will stop working and your website will simply turn off. That’s very unhelpful when you’re busy running your day-to-day operation, so don’t let it happen to you. We have a range of hosting packages designed to suit the needs of all kinds of businesses which gives them the storage they need. If you want to manage your own email hosting (that means you can add new addresses and delete ones you don’t need any more) you’ll be pleased to hear you can. Our hosting packages come with cPanel licenced and award-winning control panel software so you can access your email hosting whenever you like.

Hosting on secure servers

What would happen if your website was hacked, and someone accessed your data? Our servers are UK-based and they’re as secure as possible. We monitor all sites to keep malicious code out of your files to help you stay safe. You still need to ensure you’ve got strong passwords and antivirus software, but it’s a little weight off your mind!

How to learn more about our hosting

If you would like to have a chat about moving your website hosting to Black Nova Designs, here’s how it works. We offer several different types of website hosting which suit different sizes and types of business. For example, the storage requirements for a photographer’s website with thousands of high-res images to share with clients are likely to be very different to an accountant’s website. Our expert team can help you find out which is best for you. We’re just as good as GoDaddy, 123-Reg and more, plus you have our UK-based staff on hand if anything goes wrong.

Our most popular package is just £84+VAT per year and includes daily backup, a free SSL certificate, full cPanel access, 15GB disk space, SSD servers, enhanced security, 24/7 uptime monitoring and it's WordPress ready. Our clients see improved website load speeds and performance too so that ticks all the boxes for those brilliant benefits we went through earlier.
