SEO by the Hour - Buy Domain
Buy an Aged Domain for SEO
If you don't already have a domain name (example.com) I recommend buying an aged domain from a domain auction or from a forum that specializes in selling already indexed web sites. The reason behind this is Google usually puts brand new sites in a sandbox until they have proven to not be a quick start-up, spam or affiliate site.
If you do buy a brand new domain name, I recommend buying a domain that has your target keyword phrase in it. I also recommend registering the domain for 2-5 years instead of 1 year. This too shows the search engines that you are serious and that your website is going to be around for a long time.
Find a hosting company with highest uptime percentage and the fastest server response is your best bet when it comes to SEO. Spiders need to find your site fast. It can be detrimental to your site if the spiders come by when your server is down or if all your top competitors are on a faster server. Here are a few companies that specialize in server and hosting SEO.
