It has a very big impact because the speed of the site depends on the hosting.

Aside from creating terrible client experiences, a slow site will be penalised by search engines, lowering your ranking in search results.

The faster your website loads, the higher its Google ranking.
Page Speed is now a component in Google's search ranking algorithms, according to the company.
These characteristics should be taken into account when selecting a web host since they might have a variety of effects on SEO:
1) Page Speed
2) Hosting limitations
3) Location
4) Uptime
