Hosting and seo

Hi all,

I need to move my website from production server to development server.i mean moving my site from one server to another.
let me know what are the necessary things to do to keep my current search ranking positions and page rank.please tell me what are the steps to follow while moving site from one server to another server regarding seo.

thanks in advance.

 

If you keep your domain name the same, there should be no negative effect of the move. Also there really isn't anything you need to do to keep that ranking and search position the same.

 

make sure your trasfering process not taken longer than 24 hrs or else if google bot came and cant access your site or found no content, it will affect your SERPs but not affect much on Pr.

 

Thanks for your valuable suggestion.

 

If your site language is different than English like Russian that time host your site in Russian hosting firms for getting high rank on Google Search.

 

The move should be seemless - upload your website to your new hosting service , then change the DNS. Cancel your old hosting account when the DNS changes take effect. There won't be any effect on PR or ranking.

 

correct. moving sites is no problem

 

simple, move your site to your new server as soon as you are done uploading your site to new server change your dns and dont rush to delete your website from old server as this dns might take over 24 hr to fully propagate.

 

if you make a quick move , your serp will not be effected .

 

As long as it is done in a timely manner and you keep the same structure then you should be fine
