SEO and Changing the host

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 23.2012

Hi,
Does changing the host too frequently affect the ranking of the web site in search engines.
For example, if i change the hosting company 3 times in 2 months, does it affect the Page Rank? Because it is changing the server location, and also, each time the website cannot be accessed a few hours.

@HostTedAug 24.2012 — No moving host is not bad it can be the opposite if it improves your site uptime for example but too frequently hmm could be.

If hosting is good it is positive and if hosting is bad (downtime and slow) that is bad for SEO. So the lack of access isn't good but that can be avoided of course by not changing hosts - but if you keep changing hosts and it keeps repeating every few weeks then this could of course be a different matter and be bad.

@eliza189Sep 17.2012 — No, it won't affect your rankings, but it wouldn't hurt to leave your site up on the old host for about a month to ensure that the DNS propagates across the Web and that the search spiders are indexing the pages at the new host. Once you see the spiders in your log files at the new host, it should be safe to take down the site at the old server.
