If I change my host will it affect my page rank or google indexing?

    I built my site using homestead site builder. I finally have the money to get a real web designer to redo my site. I have a Pr 1 site. Will I lose backlinks indexing and or page rank during the switch.

    Ps. My domain is going to stay the same.

    I need to know. Thanks

    I think that having a Private Server has advantages to getting better rankings....

    Maybe someone else knows more about this then i do?

    What do you mean by build your own server?

    Do you mean to literally construct the server out of hardware and then keep it in your home or office?

    It doesn't make any difference as long as your page URLs stay the same.

    Depending on the hosting location though does influence how you rank slightly. You host in the UK, you are more likely to rank better in the UK. It's not much but it's something to consider. If your target market is worldwide, and you're going to be hosting in the US then I wouldn't worry.

    Sheppy is right. As long as your url's stay the same you'll be fine.
