If you suspect that your site may be losing traffic because of slow speeds or unreliability, you can do following;

a)You can try and regularly open site yourself. Apart from using your own computer, whenever you’re somewhere where there’s a cyber café or local library, pop in and try visiting your own site at different times of day.

b)Ask your friends to visit your site and report to you. Apart from helping you ensure that your hosting site is okay, this is an ideal way of marketing your offering to close friends and relatives without having to fear facing rejection. This is because those who’ll be interested will give you business or even refer others. And those who will not be, will simply be happy helping you out with your research.

c)If you’ve not chosen a hosting firm yet and want to avoid all problems mentioned in this article, then take a closer look at your hosting company before you hand over fate of your web site to them.

This is reason why smart web site entrepreneurs are taking a closer look at their web host or web hosting provider these days, realizing that it is a very critical area of their operations that they cannot afford to be casual about. The host impacts directly on their success and ultimate profitability.

But this is not to say that all small operations are bad. To be fair there are some dedicated web hosts who’ve offered excellent hosting facilities that would rival those of any bigger player. Many successful e-commerce web sites owe their online success to them.
