Change of web hosting?

[HiteshBharucha]

Does change of web hosting have any effects on a websites SEO?and what are the factors that need to be taken care off while changing web hosting company in terms of seo perspective.

Google does not really like when the webhost is changed often. So there is no problem changing.

One of the ranking factors is the location of hosting. For example if your site is hosted on a server in the U.S. this influences.

So once again does not mean that if a website is hosted in USA it can not rank well in europe, for exemple.

I have a few websites hosted in the U.S. who have great positions in Brazil, this is just one of many, many factors.

The key really is to be assessed the quality and speed of the server, this is what most influences in rank.

Hope that helped,

I agree with João and I add the possibility that you switch to a shared hosting server, where in theory you might encounter "bad neighboor" problems. This is when someone on your same shared hosted server is doing spamming or bad things

Always check your neightboors with services like spy on web or others. Best regards, DoMiSol
