Is this available now, 4 years later. I need at least 1-2 years data going back in order to create certain reports. We do not have all reports going back on file tbh, but we need that capability. Do any of your plans offer this at this point?

I want to be able to compare 6-12 months of performance to the previous 6-12 months.

Have a look at this

Also look into cloudflare

I believe what you are really looking for is a GLOBAL CDN (Content Delivery Network) provider. This is separate from hosting. Some hosts might offer it inclusive or as add-ons, it will often be resold by another major global CDN player such as cloudflare.

Hope this helps!

np, you don't want to assume things.

this is what Matt Cutts said in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MswMYk05tk

It is still advisable that most websites out there rather rely on pages and subdirectories for regular pages and content than subdomains, but nowadays it is a highly subjective thing, basically suit yourself on it.

But keep in mind the simple formula for decision making: Pros v Cons... which outweighs which and why.

subdomains can certainly cause you, the owner and web dev, more work and impose a higher "moving parts" risk under most typical circumstances where /page is a viable alternative.
