Frequent server changes

[Nextman]

Hey guys. I have a server related question.

One of our websites is hosted with a nasty slow company, and we want to make a change.

The problem we have is that the site is 6 months old so it started on one server, the client then moved it to this slow host about 2 months ago, we now want to move it again.

Will this negatively affect search engine rankings?

As ever, thanks in advance

Hey Nextman,

I have encountered the same issue a half year ago, with mini-site. The site was moved 3 times in one year, still there we didn't see no negative affect.

At the end of this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleWebmasterHelp#p/u/24/PfqKKquA_R0 Matt Cutts says that "if you are not happy with your current webhost, you can change, it is not the end of the world"

I hope that helped.

Cheers,

Istvan

Agree with Istvan, i didn't see any negative effect on ranking, only positive if new hosting is faster.

Hey thanks for that Istvan. I will get it changed over tomorrow then. The company who currently host the site will remain nameless as I already gave them a really hard time on Twitter, but they are market leader and awful. Giving us way too much downtime and slow load speeds! NM

Also thanks for confirming Vladimir very useful.
