7 Signs Your E-Commerce Hosting Solution is Doing More Harm Than Good

Are You Compromising?
I've shared seven sad stories to demonstrate how hosting can negatively impact an e-commerce website, but I'd like to also share a happy story to show the great benefits of effective hosting for online retailers. This company was facing slow website performance, and had already tried numerous approaches to solving the issue — e.g., optimized its site code to eliminate any kinks in it, bought lots of new hardware to handle high traffic demands. All of this was to no avail. Soon, its hosting provider found that the issues with the retailer's site were actually at the hosting level, not the site level. After addressing the root of the problem, it cut load times by one second, resulting in an overall increase in customer conversions by 10 percent.
