Changing Domain Host and Potential SEO Effects

[Brian_Dowd]

Hi Community,

We are currently thinking of changing our domain hosting package and I am wondering if that could have any effects on rankings, SEO, etc.

The thing here is that we aren't changing the hosting provider, we are only changing the package from the same provider. Most of the info I have found on the internet has been mostly about changing actual hosting providers versus packages from the same provider (if the makes sense).

If anyone knows if this might affect our SEO and what steps we can take to safe guard against any potential pitfalls, please let us know.

Thanks

Nope, you'll be perfectly fine.

The only way you'd be in danger is if any of the following changed:

• Server latency/performance
• Server geo-location
• Server stability
• Your new package being too restrictive and throttling you somehow for reaching a cap

Speed, stability and location are the only things that really matter with a host from a ranking perspective so you should be just fine with the change. Good luck!
