My website has great search engine rankings I want to change hosting companies will this affect my rankings?
Yes, no matter which Web hosting you change to, your search engine rankings will temporarily drop due to an IP address change, even if your Website address/domain name stays the same. Even when companies keep their currnet Web hosting company but change servers, their search engine rankings drop temporarily...
It may take up to a few months before your rankings will steadily start climbing again, due to search engines updating and maintaining their search algorithms periodically. It helps while waiting for your rankings to climb again (if changing hosting companies becomes absolutely necessary) to bring in and increase the number of new additional website links to your own site. This may help speed the process up a little. |
