Move to new Hosting effect to traffic ???

Hi all,

After I moved to new hosting 1 month ago, I found huge traffic to my site is drop , Can anyone have any idea to improve or investigate this issue.

Thank you.

 

if the site is 100% ok (i mean no errors), you need to check if the site had the same position in SE`s

 

all thing it the same before also rank in SE.

 

Hi,
it wont affect traffic or ranking as per my experience. if you have geographical target or market and u have optimize for that than it may affect.for exp if u have uk market and if u hosted on uk server than it will help to increase tanking in google.co.uk

 

It could be that the last time the spybot has crawled your site it was unreachable due to the move, once it crawls back it will give you the old position in the SERPs.

You might also want to check the hostings uptime, this could be another issue.

 

The move probably affected how highly your pages display in the SERPs. Eventually it will come back up, but I think Google does look at changes of IP/host as a negative.

 

Did moving the site took a long time? what i mean is, if due to moving the hosting your site was down for like over 24 hours, it will effect your SERP since google bot tired to get into your site and found nothing there...

 

Check your logs to see which traffic sources were sending traffic before but are not sending as much now.

 

Hmmm thats so strange because the domain is same and only the hosting is different. I wonder that why even search engines look for it?

 

They don't, unless the hosting is in another country.

 

Look in Google webmaster central to see if you have had any trouble being spidered or is anything being blocked. Check your robots.txt in case an error has crept in and you're now blocking robots. Check the sites .htaccess in case any traffic is being redirected. If you can, then also check the httpd.conf.

Ask the host if the block any bot traffic (I think it was godaddy that once blocked Googlebot for a while), also ask if they block any regional traffic - some cheap hosts will block all Chinese traffic for instance.

As seojig said, check the hosting location, in case you are now hosted elsewhere. Check the server response times, the load average, does it feel "snappy" to you? Are visitors bailing out before a page loads?

Were you getting visits to the old IP address (not the domain name?)

 

I am very much agree with seojig,
Check you analytics and see map overlay, If the drop is from particular geographic location then may be you have shifted to smoe other countries server. Always choose server where your target client lies.

And about the bot do googling for your keyword and try to find cached page that can tell you when your site is last time crawled.

 

In case u had links exchange through images/banners with some partners, with the script loading the image/banner from your hosting, in the period when your website was offline, maybe your partners removed your banner...so, some visist sources lost. Right?

 

moving to a new hosting can be very harmless if you do it the right way. Just put all the files on the new server, make sure it runs (checking it from the IP address) and THEN change the DNS servers...

 

Anyway, a website who stay offline some days, its normal to loose some traffic, but not 50% of them. He didnt say the percentage of lost traffic

 

this is very strange because as long as your site didnt change in any way (i.e page ammendments) between the time you moved the site from the old hosting and now, you should experiance absolutley no difference at all. if you have made changes since moving the site, the drop in traffic could be caused from those changes.
