    Does anyone know if changing host companies can hurt search engine rankings? The only change would be who hosted the site. I am guessing it wont but I would like some of you people to confirm that for me. Thanks.

    The only reason it might damage your SERPs would be if you were changing countries, then the engines would register you differently. Other than that, you shouldn't notice much or any difference.

    I don't think it can hurt you unless you have a LOT of downtime while switching hosts.

    It shouldn't be a problem.
