Guys, I have a website with PR4 and some good backlinks. Now I want to change my hosting provider. If I change hosting provider, will it affect my PR and backlinks? my current IP would be change into a new IP if I host my website in a new server. Guys plz suggest me what will I do Thx
In theory it should not - however. I had a site with a 7 PR - changed hosts and I dropped to 0 !!!!!! Why? well there were several reasons. The new host had porn sites on the same IP as mine! Not good! Also the transfer went very wrong and my site was down for several days. It was one of those if it could go wrong it did! The host I was switching to was terrible!!! Obviously I did not know that at the time. All in all this move cost me big $$ and about 2 yrs of building my PR ! However if your current host is not meeting you needs, then you do need to move. Just pick your new host VERY carefully!
if the change is smooth.. it musnt affect the PR. just make sure that the new host IP isnt blacklisted / graylisted
