    Does anyone have any experience to back up the claims that hosting can have a big affect on SEO?

    If so, which of the following make a differnce:

    Server speed

    Number of sites on server

    Location of server (country to target audience)

    Other sites on server (would sites with bad reputation have a negative impact on the other sites hosted there)

    I'm looking to move some of my sites which suffer from all of the above, and would like to know if I will see any gains.

    Surly bad neighbor hood on server would be out of your control, if your bought a domain and hosted with a hosating company and the put you on the same server as a site with bad rep, it wouldnt be your fault though!

    I agree, server speed is crucial. I saw my search results improve dramatically once i changed server... But wasn't able to tell if geo-targeting really change much this days...

    Apart from server speed, uptime is also a main indicator. Imagine the bots arriving at your site and it's down.

    Main Factors concerning SEO regarding Hosting are:

    - Domain Name
    - Server speed
    - Page Downloading speed
    - Secured or unsecured server
    - server doesn't contain duplicate Id's.

    Not important unless server is stable at least 95% of time
