I have read this question. I agree that webhosting does matter in load time and how much uptime it is giving but it seems that some companies have given it a huge hype. Please have a look at this example,They claim that in SEO, 23.8% is which hosting you use. Please clear out is it a gimmick or it carries some weight. Thanks
Web hosting does not matter?
seo;web hosting;ranking
I think you're reading that wrong. They're talking about the domain name, not the hosting company.
