I changed servers with no site down time recently just before the July 4th page rank update. My site is fairly new and Ive been ranking very well in a competitive niche. Since changing servers I noticed a 140 place drop for my targeted keyword phrase and my site visitors are now 2 to 3 people per day down from almost 50. Perhaps it may be because my domain is fairly new or Googles' PR reshuffle but I can't really blame it on anything else. I wish I would have waited till after the Google update. If you can I would suggest the same to everyone too. If I see a dramatic rise in PR within a few weeks after the update I'll come back and post a comment here. It caused problems for me.

If your host goes about this the right way, your site shouldn't even have any down time. Do be sure that you download and save a copy of your entire site, if possible, before the switch just in case something goes wrong during this process. Best, Gradiva Hi Diana,

This process will take around twelve hours, and domain propagation will depend on your ISPs, which will probably take about 2 to 24 hours.' Will this affect my search engine placement? Thanks.

Although, naturally, it's good to maximize any power from domains you own or control, in the grand scheme of things your best bet will be to look outward toward ways your site can be "linkworthy" and gain links from domains other than those you own.

I made the mistake of building a website that points to my main website but both websites were hosted on the same IP. If I move my smaller website to a new IP address will Google remember that this website use to be on the same IP address as my main website and not count the back link?
