Here are the main tools you can use for testing your website speed:

• Google PageSpeed
• Pingdom
• GTmetrix

Site speed will also improve the experience for visitors. This should be common sense. After all, how many times have you left a website because it was taking forever to load? But, to convey just how important loading time is for users, here are some fascinating stats:

• According to a case study from Radware, 51 percent of online shoppers in the U.S claimed if a site is too slow they will not complete a purchase.
• Radware also discovered in another study that the demand for loading speed has increased over time. For example, in 2010 a page that took six seconds to load witnessed a -40 percent conversion hit. In 2014? That same loading time suffered -50 percent conversion hit.
• Research has found that 47 percent of web users expect a website to load in under two seconds. During peak traffic times, 75 percent consumers are willing to visit competitor sites instead of dealing with a slow loading page.
• Besides making visitors happy, having a website that loads quickly is good for business. In fact, Strange Loop has stated that just “a one second delay can cost you 7 percent of sales.”

It should be noted that page speed is one of 200 or so signals Google uses to determine rank. If your site loads in 2.9 seconds it is slowern than approximately 50% of the web. While increasing your site speed is really important and should be done for the user’s experience, it can also improve your conversion rate, this section will only look at how page speed affects SEO. Geoff Kenyon – Moz

Google VP Marissa Mayer asked users if they’d like 10 or 30 results per page. Hands down, web users wanted 30 results per page. But when Google rolled out the changes and tested for speed (they are obsessed with speed) their jaws dropped. Traffic had dropped by 20% on those pages with 30 results. The download speed difference? Half a second.

Amazon.com did a A/B testing: “we tried delaying the page in increments of 100 milliseconds and found that even very small delays would result in substantial and costly drops in revenue” – Greg Linden – Amazon Software Engineer.

The SPEEDUP plan offers a shared hosting solution. Shared hosting is the most commonly used method of hosting and is used for customers who have chosen trial or low-cost hosting packages. Shared hosting servers tend to be unstable due to high number of users on the same server.

In order to prevent server overloads we enforce resource limitations for each server account. Our Shared Hosting servers have 99.9% uptime and a fast technical team that deals with everything that might happen.

The DEDICATED plan is based on a VPS – Virtual Private Server. Recommended for companies that deal with resource heavy applications and secured sensitive data.
Our VPS hosting is also known as VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) and is hosted on Cloud platforms. The VPS services we provide are similar to having a dedicated server running just for your applications but more reliable due to Cloud infrastructure.

We can provide custom VPS configurations with up to 36 processing cores, 244 GB of RAM Memory and unlimited storage options.

A typical website generally contains a mix of static and dynamic content. Static content includes images, JavaScripts or StyleSheets. We use 30 to 50 international servers to distribute your content around the world so it’s closer to your visitors, speeding up your site 2-4x times and reducing server overloads.

This service still needs a standard hosting solution (Shared, VPS) to get the original content from. It is charged by the amount of data it delivers to your visitors and it’s included free of charge in SPEEDUP and DEDICATED plans.

Once you purchase a Web hosting plan, we store your site on one of our servers and assigns it a unique DNS. The DNS serves as the address that allows people around the world to find and view your website. This unique address is required in order for people to view your site. By purchasing a website hosting package, you’re basically buying space on one of our servers. It’s similar to the space on a computer’s hard drive, but the server allows your website’s files to be accessed from anywhere. For more information, visit our Web Hosting product support page.

That’s a tricky question. It all comes down to one simple question: What are you going to be using it for?
Are you setting up a business website? Running a blog? Showing a bunch of photos?

First off, here are two main hosting solutions – Shared and VPS.

Not only does it depend on what you need the hosting for, a lot of it depends on your budget as well. As you can imagine, shared hosting is quite a bit cheaper than VPS hosting, so it’s up to you to weigh the pros and cons and figure out which one might be best for you.

It’s up to you to decide what your needs are. If you’re planning to build a huge blogging platform where thousands of people are going to visit each month, you might want to consider dedicated hosting or cloud hosting, due to the demand you’re going to have. However, if you’re just starting up something small, get a shared hosting and save yourself some cash.

Moving your website to Creatory is a simple process. If you have access to your existing website files, you can upload them through our Control Center or via an FTP client. If you don’t have a current copy of your website, you should be able to request one from your current website hosting provider. If you have any questions along the way, our 24/7 support team is here to assist you. We can help you determine the best method for transitioning your website to a Creatory account.

You will receive an email from us with all your account details, login info and other specifications. After you’ve purchased a new hosting account it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours for your new account to be fully active, depending on your request. Once everything is up and running, we’ll send you an email with all of the account details.

Yes. Our plans can host multiple websites. You can also use these plans to set up various names (aliases) for your site and direct visitors to specific pages. Our Web Hosting plans are designed to host most personal, small business and organization websites. We don’t limit the amount of storage and bandwidth your site can use as long as it complies with our Hosting Agreement. Should your website bandwidth or storage usage present a risk to the stability, performance or uptime of our servers, we will notify you via email and you may be required to upgrade to a Virtual Private Server or Dedicated (Private) Server, or we may restrict the resources your website is using. It’s very rare that a website violates our Hosting Agreement and is typically only seen in sites that use hosting for file sharing or storage.

It really depends on how your website was built, the server solution you choose and how well is currently optimized.
