    Does anyone have first-hand knowledge of moving a de-sandboxed website to a server in a different country?

    (I'm interested in U.S. ---> U.K.)

    I know this may affect SERPS through geo-location - I can live with that.

    What I'd like to be sure of is that it won't put a site back into Google's sandbox.

    Thanks

    Not recently.

    But I have a .ca site originally hosted in Canada and then moved to a US server. That was about 2 years ago I think. No effect on SE rankings in either google.com or google.ca
