    Question for the SEO Wizz Kids

    My current host blows nuts, and I want to switch hosts. I've got top rankings with the site hosted with them and I'm worried that if I change IP's google will drop my shit.

    Has anyone noticed if google penalizes for changing IP's? I'd like tokeep my rankings

    Shouldn't hurt you to bad unless...

    a. You move from a previously clean dedicated ip, to a known spam shared ip
    b. an ip recently being used by someone banned by the SEs.

    If your moving from a shared to a clean dedicated, you could even see a boost.

    Hit up http://splitinfinity.com/. They've got they're shit together hostwise, incredible and quick customer service, and they can walk you through any concerns I'm sure.

              You should've moved when I first told you to, a few months ago. See what you get for not listening?

                rarely a drive should cause an 11 hour downtime, unless it is a special, magical drive that you did not have any backup on

                            yeah, i'm thinking fuck it, even if I drop a bit for switching IP's/Hosts the ranks will come back, and in the long run not being with these clowns is better for the site.

                                    This shouldnt be a problem as google operated using Domain names rather than IP's, as mentioned above you will ONLY have problems if you put your site on a IP which is considered a bad neighbour hood.

                                    Dont change your design if you have a design google likes keep it!

                                      ip address is only a very minor part of Googles anti spam stuff.

                                      No need to worry.

                                                    I remember them telling both of us they allowed adult, go figure. Their BS is why I'm no longer hosting with them.
