Top 10 Australian Search Engine Friendly Web Hosts - January 2008
Thu, 24 Jan 2008 07:20:08 by Jayson Munday

We've interviewed and analysed more than 35 of the top Australian web hosting companies and have compiled a list of the top 10 that we judge as being the most "search engine friendly".

The web hosting company you use can have an impact on the effectiveness of your search engine optimisation campaign.  Its important to assess the web host you select on its search engine "friendliness" as well as on other factors such as price, features, and customer support. 

In our analysis, we looked at factors such as the physical location of the servers, URL rewrite capability (linux and Windows), performance, up-time, etc.  The score that you see below is an aggregate of these factors with additional weight on areas that we deem essential to assist with your rankings in the Australian and global search engines.  Hosts with the same score were then sorted by the performance of their servers based on load time.
