My customer needs to change hosts! What part of the SEO process should I worry about most? Backlinks?

I just hired an agency to build quality backlinks and articles....should I worry about the new webhost? Should I wait?

Ill assume if the page names are the same, all will be good. What if they change?

Newbie Help!

Thanks Mozzers.

If you are just switching hosts and keep your site and permalink structure the same, you need not worry about backlinks. For some reason if they do change, you should 301 redirect all old articles to their new versions. If you are switching domain names then you definitely need to make sure that you do the 301 redirects as well. I just want to make sure that you have the terms correct?

Thanks itr

Yes, sitename will be the same, just a host provider change. I realize there are other issues related to the switch, but needed confirmation on the back-linking. My intuition (but lack of years of experience) told me all will be well, I needed someone else to settle me down!

Thanks so much itr.
