Generally, site speed do not depend only on hosting. If you want to have great site speed you need to get hosting with SSD disks, also you should optimize your site configs (pictures, and other).

As far as the host:
Hardware. I can elaborate, but I will keep it simple - server-grade hardware, and Solid State Drives.
Network. Not just the networking hardware, but the upstream providers.

Website:
Should be optimised.

You should see under 2 second loading time if all is well.

Hi Aaron,

Good performance is essential for your visitors viewing experience and in terms of SEO. SSD and caching technology will help with performance, choosing a provider with CloudLinux is also essential so you can be sure to always have your fair share of server resources if your on a shared server.

There are lots of aspects to be considered when looking at website speed.

1) Hardware: This espacially concerns your host. Hosts with SSD drives, server port speed, server load,Servers that are oversold will have low speed due to high server load;

Server locations also count, that is why hosting on servers with CloudLinux is of added advantage.

2) Software & Design, Large websites which, images, and CMS used will also affect speed and load time.

Better hosting means low download time, fast web page loading, enough bandwidth. And thus better hosting helps website speed but efficient web hosting is not only factor for better speed of website and website should be developed properly and also optimized your site - take care of image size ,unecessary plugins and make sure site scripts are up to date.

Site speed depends upon your Website script,images and other resources too ! It does not depends only on Hosting !

Now a days most of the servers are comes with 1 GBPS Port speed so speed will be good normally !

Enabling gZip will improve the website speed

Website speed is a multi-dependent factor hence to enhance the speed of the site many factors will have to be considered, and if there are any loopholes then it has to be fixed. But yes having a reliable web host that offers good servers with latest specifications does help with getting better speed for the website.

From the experience of the website visitor there is not much to gain from a host that uses the latest and greatest hardware. What matters the most is how many sites are on a server given a certain hardware configuration. More important are things like page optimization, server-side vs client-side scripting, how fast visitor's browser renders page. For example, given all those other factors, using SSD (shared hosting) vs hard drives won't make any noticeable difference

All other things being equal, a server with an SSD will perform better than one with a HD.

Ok, I just didn't know if I was missing something because I don't know all the technical aspects of servers. My knowledge in that area needs improvement.

If we were comparing dedicated servers, or shared hosting servers with identical sites, the answer would be in the positive. What it also means for the shared hosting server is that you can put more sites on the server. It will be up to the host if they want that increase to be inherited by the customer or used to add more sites to server.

This brings up something that I have wanted to know for some time that maybe you can answer since we are on the basic SSD hosting topic.

Can a web host put more accounts on servers using SSD's over traditional HDD's for any reason?

I didn't know if the added speed increase of the actual drives means that it's easier to put more accounts/websites on the same server. That might sound like an odd question but something that crossed my mind a few times.
