Your domain name is all that matter. Hosting and what you use don't relate to your page rank so you should be fine.
1) PR is assigned to domain name and not to your CMS/Hosting. You can go ahead. However it could be possible that your rankings change due to change in hosting. Some people have noticed it, so i suggest you better follow some guidelines and ensure you are doing all good. 2) Google is managing "harmful content" flagging via stopbadware.org, its run by Google, lenova & Sun. I am not sure if you can get your site out but i guess you can appeal by sending an email to Good luck!
PR is all about links to your domain name, as long as your domain and pages name will stay the same, you have nothing to worry about.
Well the page name like yourdomain.com/module.php?download will be moved to a diffrent page as the CMS will not have the same pages thats built in the new one. Thanks for all the help.
if your backlinks stays , you will not loose your page rank. page rank is a result of backlinks. it's not related your cms
Your PR to the domain will remain intact. But you will lose PR on internal pages if the URLs are not the same. I mean if a page with yourdomain.com/about.php is changed to something like yourdomain.com....html --then it will loose the PR. But if it gets indexed quickly and gets the snapshot -it will retain gain PR again.
you will not lost your PR because of changeing the scripts or program but it will affected if you change your content to be the one that not related to the backlinks. ^^
you wont lose the main PR but if any of your inner pages have PR you will lose those....your rankings will be affected because of all the 404 errors you will get
You would not lose your PR, but I can't understand why you would do this. A CMS is nothing like forum software. Moving to a static solution would be far better, and would also enable you to build a sitemap to further ensure that you do not lose any PR.
Well You will certainly loose PR on every internal URL that changes, The homepage PR which appears to be asigned to your domain name would probably remain, However, all the changed pages would loose their SE rankings in all search engines, But you have decent homepage PR, so that should help. You should have a chat with someone who is expert with .htaccess or 301 redirect code and Consider obtaining deeplinks to popular pages in your site
