IP Change

[wearehappymedia]

Hello MOZ friends!

We recently changed servers and subsequently had a change in IP. It's a better and faster server but have seen a significant drop in SERPS. Could this be a result of moving the site?

Thanks!

if the domain name, and URLs are identical to what they were, and if there are no security issues with the server the site is now located on, changing an IP alone should not ever cause a loss in rankings.  Something else is going on.

Okay thanks Alan we'll dig a little deeper.

Hi Radi! If Alan answered your question, mind marking his response as a "Good Answer?" It'll get him some bonus MozPoints, and it helps us keep track of things.
