That 8 euros a month on shared hosting feels like a bargain. Until you discover AI crawlers systematically skip your site because your neighbor on the same server just blasted a newsletter to 40,000 people. An honest story about hosting and AI visibility.
Sustainable hosting is not just ethically smart — it also sends trust signals that AI models and search engines value. Reinier's no-nonsense view on green hosting as a business case, not a marketing story.
If your site is down when an AI crawler visits, you miss a citation opportunity that may not return for weeks. After twenty years managing hosting infrastructure, Reinier knows: monitoring is not a luxury but a basic requirement.
A slow server is not just annoying for visitors, it is a dealbreaker for AI bots. TTFB above 500ms? Then you lose crawls, indexation and ultimately AI citations. This is how you fix it, from twenty years of hosting and performance experience.
You can have perfect content and beautiful structured data, but if your hosting does not cooperate, it never reaches AI crawlers. After twenty years of managing hosting I know: this is the most underestimated pillar of AI visibility.
