Advantages of Seattle Location
Seattle is known for many things including a rich music history and iconic coffee. Most recently, though it has earned the distinction of being the fastest growing tech hub. This bustling and thriving city is set to attract even more businesses and young tech professionals as innovative companies set up shop and more technology-focused jobs are created.
Seattle is one of the fastest growing economies in the US, with an annual growth of 3.1%, it was ranked as the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States. It is known for a thriving location mostly for businesses and thus tends to attract so many businesses as innovative and technology-driven companies continue to seek out the advantages of the fast-growing state which in turn attracts lots of investors.
The pace at which Seattle grows will no doubt attract lots of business owners which would give room for a more competitive marketplace as every business will only naturally want to be the best among all other businesses. Competition is good for business as you would have the opportunity to convince your customers why you are the best. It is a known fact that for a business to thrive successfully, it must have an online presence, and having an online presence is vital for your business success as it would represent your business and give it a professional appearance to your customers.
Your online presence must be able to convince your customers to patronize your product or service and the first impression your customers get when using your website for the first time matters a lot in making future decisions or judgments.
Hence, the need for a fast and more responsive website cannot be overemphasized. It is common knowledge that when your website takes more than 3 seconds to load up, it has a high bounce rate which ensures that visitors visiting your page leave within the first few seconds, usually before any significant interaction with your website.
As a business owner, you would also want to cut down cost as much as possible and the obviously better option will be to use a shared server to host your website but the adverse effect is more harmful.
IMPORTANCE OF SEATTLE DEDICATED SERVERS
As a new or small company, it can be tempting to cut costs on things like shared servers. However, while a shared server may cost you less in monthly charges, it has the potential to lose you far more business in the long run.
Because shared servers are shared among multiple users, they will always be slower than dedicated servers. Moreover, shared server hosts tend to oversell server space which further weighs down the network and increases the chances of downtime and crashing. Not only is this inconvenient, an ecommerce site can easily lose business through cart abandonment when shoppers are not able to access the checkout quickly enough.
