    It may have been caused if the sites were offline for a while?

    Would have to be more than 72 hours in my experience.

    Anyhow, PR is a broken metric (hence it's removal from Webmaster Tools). Also, there is no PR update lately. Have you seen a dramatic change in your rankings? That's the most important thing. Forget PR. :)

    What I know is PR doesn't depend on IP. May be your site was unaccessable for Google Bot while you migrating.

    I agree with you, when Google update (minor/mayor) maybe your site can't access. so your pr dropped.

    Its not about the hosting, recently PR's have been revised, thats the reason it dropped down.

    I'm glad that all of you are so care with my problem here :)...

    Yeah I knew that mostly peoples don't care bout PR. Just my curious why so sudden after change my hosting all the 2 sites of mine drop theirs PR into 0. I'm wonder. I just submit this issue to google reconsideration on google webmaster and waiting for the reply. Luckily, my ranking is still same as what happened before.

    For your information, previously, both sites has been down for about 2 weeks because of the complication in my previous hosting. I have read some articles from bloggers that said IP also can contribute for dropping the PR. Is it true? Is there any possibility for me to get back the PR?

    Thanks mate. But I love when my sites have PR ;)
    Yes Aadam, it has been down for 2 weeks

    Can you tell me details what do you mean?

    Are you sure bout this?

    Yes Man, Mostly it causes when the site is down, so google gets 404 not found pages,so it may get pr drop.

    And one more thing is mainly backlinks, some of your backlinks have gone.

    Pr is not related to hosting.

    yes your ip and hosting account can affect pr and serps
    aswell as the site being offline
    tho
    I dont think you need to google unless you want to get ignored or laughed at

    Thanks for all the respond :). One of my site have many backlinks from pr5 and pr4. that's why I'm so wonder why it is drop. Because it maintain the pr3 for about a year. Really appreciate all your responds.

    If you have any ideas how can I get back my PR, just share with me here :)

    2 weeks down - definitely going to get penalised. Lucky you weren't dropped from the index entirely.

    I also think that there might be more downtime while you migrating the site if that's the case then don't worry it will comeback in next 15 days probably.

    only remove backlinks can affect pr, there is no other way on dropping pr.

    Yes, PR drop means that your site incoming links are deleted or moved due to any cause. As PR is only related to incoming links and its nothing to do with hosting or contents.
