FAST + RELIABLE + FULLY MANAGED

Fast and Reliable

Here’s a couple of good reasons why it’s so important to run a quick websites:

1. Your customers won’t wait. Research shows that even minimal delays in page load times can have significant impact on conversion rates. If your customers are waiting for slow pages to load, it’s likely you’ll loose them before they make it to the cart or checkout.
2. Google loves speed. Google knows when visitors bounce from your site and they know when it’s related to slow page load times (cleaver bunch aren’t they?). It follows that quicker sites offer a better user experience and hence more engagement and the end result of this is generally a more favourable ranking for quicker sites, where all other ranking factors are equal.

Compared to standard hosting, once traffic increases to a critical level your site will encounter issues with site performance, sometimes terminal – total site failure. This is obviously an unacceptable scenario for serious businesses.

Benefits of Curata Hosting

1. Single Provider. You’ll have a single point of contact for all of your website related enquiries and issues, and you won’t ever get stuck in the middle of the “web host” vs “web developer” argument.
2. Fully managed. We take a proactive approach to all of the ongoing maintenance of the web server and application (WordPress).
3. Fast. We use powerful infrastructure to ensure your site makes a positive impact through its performance.
