    I really don't think so and the Sandbox you are referring to is far more complex than simply seeing a site which is inaccessible for some hours. That is the talk about some months of time and about newly created websites.

    That's why the reliable hosting is important. Google would like to ensure that your site is stable before comes to crawl and give ranking back to your site again. Google do love both quality site and stability. They do not want to give the rank to site that down for a long time because it would ruined up their search result quality. The only thing to do is update the new content and ping to call the bot and patience. It takes time to gain the site trust back.

    For the OP case it can be both neural or negative. It depends on how frequently the bots crawl your site. If Googlebots did crawl regularly then it might effect your site ranking. However, this is a temporarily effect and the ranking would come back.

    12 hours downtime is a little longer time for any body's comfort but I do not think it would inflict any permanent damage to your serps and definitely nothing to the indexing.

    Just make sure that this incident remains one-off and does not happen too often to annoy their crawlers!

    I wouldn't worry about it for more than a few days. The site will recover.

    To be honest last week my blog was down for straight 3 days as there was some very big problem with my webhosting. But i didn't see any drops in google search or indexing. Its like the way it was earlier before that 3 days crash. I hope it helps to clear your query.

    I don't think having your website down for 12 hours will do any damage to your search engine rankings. But try to keep your downtime to minimum
