Hello and welcome to the new blog for Small Space Hosting. We have decided to create this blog as a part of our social media strategy for engaging with both current clients and potential clients. Here we will post about a variety of topics ranging from service updates to tutorials to random pieces of information that we feel that you guys need to know.
We still have a bit of work to do on the blog such as converting our site’s layout into a wordpress template but other then that we are mostly ready. We have already linked our blog to our twitter account and are cross posting blog posts onto our twitter account.
Today we will offer a special offer to celebrate the launch of our new blog and we will explain the difference between our Australian and US based hosting plans. Our twitter account
We offer offer hosting services located in the US and in Australia. As you have probably noticed our Australian based plans are more expensive then their US counterparts when you compare their resource allocations. This is due to data costs in Australia being more expensive then in the US. Despite the price difference there are advantages of hosting your site in Australia. An example of some of the advantages of hosting in Australia are:
- SEO: Since the site’s IP address is based in Australia search engines know that it is more likely to be targeted toward Australian audiences even without a .au domain name.
- Speed: Sites hosted in Australia tend to load faster for viewers located in Australia due to the data not having to travel half way around the world.
Not to bag out our US based hosting plans they also have advantages over our Australian plans and some of those advantages are:
- Cheaper: For the same cost as our Australian plans you get significantly more resources.
- Centrally Located: If your target audience is world wide hosting your site in the US essentially places it in the middle of the Internet providing better access world wide.
Ultimately the choice of location of where you host your site is up to you to decide and there is no perfect location to host as each location has it’s advantages and disadvantages. If you would like more information please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Todays offer is a lifetime discount of 25% off all our hosting services and can be claimed by using the coupon code smlblg during the signup process.
