      Good Afternoon!

      Does anybody know what sort of impact I can expect to see from switching hosting? Not only that but how long it takes to come back from that sort of thing?

      Our website has steadily been dropping since I took it over about a month ago. I have been slowly, tediously trying to prune the bad stuff, and one of our issues is with out host.

      Any thoughts would be great! Thanks.

        As long as the transition goes smoothly (no downtime, robots.txt & htaccess files configured properly, no changes to the site) then it should have no impact on your search results. Make sure that everything is configured exactly the same as on your current host, and you should have no problems.

          I have switched several times.  No problems.  Just have your software and site up and tested before editing the DNS.
