The main reason that I went with my current provider is their speed.
They also have a very easy interface so I can create lots of new blogs with just a few mouse clicks and keystrokes.
I also selected my hosting provider because they have a distributed network all over the planet.
This is crucial, not only to maintain uptime but also to improve content delivery speed.
So far so good.
I'm not promoting my hosting provider so I'm not gonna mention its name.
Still, it is based in Silicon Valley and hosts some of the biggest brands online.
