    Hmmm... not sure about that, but if the server gets overloaded they might put your site down. If a page which is down is accessed by X number of users or google bot , the seo rankings will fall. I've experienced it first hand.

    It will not likely happen unless this is an ongoing and highly repetitive thing. But what worries me is that you are only wanting to upgrade your server for Google. If your site keeps going down, are you not losing money ?

    If your site goes down then it will affect your sales. People do not like to visit sites which are constantly down resulting in loss of loyal visitors. If you are getting revenues from your present site, why not go for an upgrade?

    if you have a 30K traffic i would advice you to upgrade your server, and if you have that traffic that means that your are earning money from that, so why not upgrade in an VPS ?
