My host (http://startlogic.com) sucks!!! They have been going down almost every day in the last few weeks. A few days ago, they were down at least 8 hours. On the pages I have that depend on their mysql server, it now takes 30 seconds to 3 minutes to load a page. They are telling me that they are "working on it with a new team of engineers". In the last two weeks my traffic (what little I get) has dropped by 75% +. My serps are gone. Is there anything I can do as far as seo goes to make up for this? Besides leaving my host, what else can I do? P.S. Start Logic sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theres nothing else you can do. If your site is going to get spidered while your host is constantly down, its going to look like your site is gone and the serps will drop. With that amount of downtime you certainly want to be moving it, why haven't you done that already?
look into ppc if you need a traffic boost when your serps come back. also, file post on review websites (comparenreview.com)
i have experienced this also in 3ix.org my blog always experienced downtime... at first they are good and i'm happy with it.. but after some month I always experience downtime.. and because of it.. i lose my SERP.. and now back to start to promote again my link to be back again in top SERP.. i'm now in the good hand.. i switch hosting and now never experience downtime.
I also face similar problems when I host my accounts with spaceforhost. I changed my hosting to sambahosting.com and haven't faced any downtimes yet. Their support is top-notch.
