News Site Owner? 3 Reasons To Choose Africa Hosting
As a news site owner, you heavily rely on availability to reach your target audiences. This means that your visitors must always find you when they want to be informed. When they do, your site must also be fast enough to enable navigation from one page to another or from one news category to another. Speed, availability, and security come together to define the perceptibility of your target audience. As important as those features are in building trust among your target audience and your authority in Search Engine Results pages, hosting with us will give you that all-important competitive edge in the online environment. Here are three reasons why.
1. Increased Performance

The OS is an effective resource-consumption platform that ensures your site constantly delivers visitor requests without stalls and frequent timeouts regardless of the number of visitors. This means that even in ‘Breaking News’ instances where a large number of visitors want to get access and be informed access your site without any telling stumbles.
· Latest Caching Technologies. Our optimized server cache is key to ensuring the best load speeds for your news site as well as scaling your website. Your visitors can access both static and non-unique pages without having to renew requests every time they try to access your site. This optimized access is important for news sites. It improves user experience and site navigation.

By hosting with us, you are guaranteeing your visitors the best browsing experience and significantly reducing the number of ‘Database Error’ messages that are synonymous with news sites with sluggish databases.

As a news site owner, a favourable ranking is what will bring you traffic and click-throughs. Here is what we do, as a hosting provider, to improve your security.
