Two Words: Knownhost.com – Amazing

Having good experiences changing from Godaddy shared hosting plan to the VPS (virtual private servers) at knownhost.com. I’ve transferred 3 sites so far and they’ve all speeded up dramatically – To the tune of 4-8 times as fast as at Godaddy shared.

If you’re on a cheap hosting plan and you are running WordPress you’re probably seen as very slow to Google as they crawl your site. You’re going to have to upgrade at some point.

Knownhost support is phenomenal – and they’re taking it past what Rackspace has been known for in the past. I’m getting responses to tickets within minutes usually – and definitely within 1 hour every time.

It’s not painless to switch your site from Godaddy to Knownhost VPS but, it’s smart and worth the effort. Do NOT attempt it if you’re not very savvy – get someone to handle it for you. Pay them $100 to deal with the problems. If they have some experience with migrating over they can probably do it for that.

Speed it up people, Google is actually considering having slow sites not rank as well as fast sites in the near future – if they haven’t already started. They’ve given notice.
