Moving a site from one server to another

Does moving a site's files from one server to another, with all URL's remaining the same, affect page rank?

I am moving a site from one server to another. Everything will stay exactly the same, including URL's, file structure, etc.

Will this affect page rank, domain importance, etc?

Moving a site from one server to another should not affect your Page Rank as long as you keep everything (URLs, file structure, content, etc.) exactly the same.

Here is great tutorial from Matt Cutts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfqKKquA_R0&feature=player_embedded

It could slightly if, and only if the hosting service you're moving to is a poor service, with frequent downtimes, and bad/spammy websites on the same IP (If shared hosting). I would just make sure you use a reputable hosting company. But for all intents and purposes, SEO is more of a Site issue rather than where it's hosted. So you shouldn't see any effective drop in the SERPs.
