Sure! You want your website to load as fast as possible because Google really doesn't like slow websites. Also, fast loading website is better for visitors as well, as nobody wants to wait for a page to load 10 seconds.

Yes, hosting affects SEO: page load speed, uptime, server location, security, and technical support all directly impact rankings.

Think of hosting as shoes for runners.
I know a lot of people that purchase those $200 shoes and they can't barely run 5km under 7min/km...
Same as you cannot run a marathon with flip-flops
Hosting is important, but just enough to not break your ankle. It's not THAT important, just keep your TTFB reasonable for your target locations and you will be good to go.
Personally, I like more to introduce loading gimmicks like preloading and transitions instead of a superfast and mega-optimized site for pages having to be fetched and loaded fast from scratch. Those are really a game-changer as the UX improves massively.

Also would like to add that a CDN improves site speed by distributing content across multiple servers. Look for hosts with built-in or easy CDN integration.

Never go for cheap hosting, they make site slow which move away visitors.

Think about how fast your site loads. If it's slow, visitors leave, and search engines definitely notice that user experience.

yes, server performance can surely effect SEO, a good server with fast loading speed, will always be liked by search engines as compared to a server with slow loading website.
Yes, web hosting can impact SEO performance, but mostly in indirect ways. Page speed, uptime, and server reliability all influence how search engines perceive a site’s quality. If a hosting environment is slow, frequently down, or struggles during traffic spikes, it can lead to poor crawl efficiency and a weaker user experience, both of which can hurt rankings over time. Server location can also play a role by affecting latency for users in specific regions, especially if no CDN is used.
