Recently I setup about 8 site (domain age between 1-10 year)
diversify to a fews web hosting servers.
Putting in about 10-15 articles for pass 3 week and
I found that 2 domain in the same server unable to get index, is like 2/10 articles been index only

1 domain have at least 10 year old, another is about 1+
I build some backlink to this domain time to time, but not much.
Submit to GSC already.

Does hosting do impact on indexing?
I check with server end, they say server side is working fine, no issue.
 
Yes, hosting does affected indexing. If it's very slow or completely down it can be an issue. Also bad neighborhood.

I don't' think that's the problem here though.

Since you use GSC, use Fetch as googlebot feature to see if it's index-able.
 
Sure, if your host is slow or offline, indexing can be an issue.

When you run Google Page Speed Insights, does it tell you that your site is slow? If so, does it say that there is an issue with Server Response Time? Does Google Search Console say that your site is slow?

Are you monitoring downtime? (There may or may not be any)

Your host is probably not the issue, but if you check out your loading speed and monitor for downtime then at least you can tell whether they are (more or less)

+1 to this. Unless your host is too bad, it shouldn't cause indexing problems to be honest. But then, I don't have a "SEO GURU" degree, or a tail. Not 100% sure.
 
thanks for all your response.

Yes, it shows google able to see the page

I also use https://technicalseo.com/tools/fetch-render/ to check the link, it shows indexable by google bot.

gtmetrix score at A-B, average 85%
While google page speed at 84-87 desktop, and 54 mobile (Orange).
so far no downtime as per monitor.
 
If the hosting is slow, this can affect indexation. But this cannot be the only reason, there are also factors to consider. Recently there is a problem with indexing, so it can take time.

According my opinion is not reflecting hosting but SSL certificate where you are buying from and how do you get it

I use the default ssl from hosting, either cloudflare ssl or let's encrypt.
 
Various causes: Google bug, site speed, crawl budget but also the new features of Google AI, which could also judge the content differently. For the latter I think that deindexing will be much more common.
 
Of course hosting affects indexing, the more stable and fast the hosting will be the better so that when the crawling robot visits our site didnt find any problems and the indexing process runs more smoothly,
 
If your website is down because of your hosting google won't be able to crawl it.
If your website is slow because of your hosting, it can cause slow indexing.
 
There are many contradiction information on this. But I realized that the geolocation of the servers would affect the traffic signals. That is why I prefer using Cloudflare CDN for my sites that target the USA.
