If your website is currently being served in a shared hosting environment (or even on an old dedicated server that’s seen better days), now is the time to consider a modern virtual server for your hosting needs.
With dedicated RAM and CPU, hosting your site on a VPS will provide a valuable boost in speed, which will please your visitors as well as the googlebot.
We provide a managed VPS service, so there’s no need to worry about leaning new technical skills.

You can tally me in for a Digg. Thanks for posting this on your web site!
Kudos from one brainiac to another.
I wanted to give you these very useful tricks I came across – I hope that’s alright.
Did you know that you can increase the speed of Wordpress and other platforms by up to 4 times – for FREE and very easily!
You can simply insert a couple of lines of php to the header.php to enable ZLIB compression – this will make your site (especially Wordpress) up to 4 times faster immediately!
You can also GZip your css files, etc which will save even more bandwidth and make the blog load even faster.
You can (of course) also use free tools to compress or crunch images too, which makes sites load quicker still.
You can learn exactly how to do this by clicking my name (I’ve linked to it – hope that’s okay).
It is amazing how much difference this will make to your sites speed.
One minor thing to note is that right now the Wordpress “all in one seo” plugin will stop creating the home page title you choose when you use compression and will instead show the blog title – but that’s not much of a problem and I’m sure it will eventually work with it.
I hope you find this useful.
Nice post. Thank you for information ! Please keep posting.
