Switching host
-
Hi guys,
some questions about host switching.
Actually my blog is hosted on siteground growbig Plan.
I was thinking about upgrading to gogeek Plan (their PRO shared hosting).
Do you think that better technologies and server speed response can improve My ranking?
Another question: if I switch server they will change ip. Does it affect My SEO negatively?
And after the switch and ip changing Is too much if I re-change ip buying a dedicated ip?
Will I risk to hurt My Raking?
Sorry For my foreign english
Thanks so much!

Happy to assist, Dario. I'm interested to know if you were finally able to make your upgrade directly to a dedicated IP address in your new account?

Ehi ehi Paul you are absolutely a GREAT person. Really thanks for all what you have don for me
I will write to siteground's staff to ask for!
-
I've confirmed with my senior source at SiteGround that you absolutely can upgrade directly to a Pro account with a dedicated IP all at the same time. Just order your IP address at the same time as you order your account upgrade.
If you have any further issue with this, just message me the contact you're dealing with at SiteGround and I'll have "my guy" help straighten it out.
Good luck!

Glad that helped Dario. I'm checking in with a connection I have at SiteGround to see if he can find a way to make your upgrade directly to a dedicated IP on the new account. Will let you know what I find out.

Hi Paul,
your answer is Absolutely GREAT!!!
Thank u very much. Unfortunately I have already asked to siteground staff If there is the possibility to switch to better host and buying a dedicated IP in the same moment without changing IP two times.
Their answer was... NO
-
You shouldn't need to change the IP address twice. I'm pretty certain that if you tell the SiteGround folks you want to upgrade your plan and purchase a dedicated IP address at the same time, they'll apply the new IP address when they set up your new hosting. So you can move directly from your current IP address to the dedicated one.
Changing IP addresses will have no effect on your rankings, as long as both addresses are listed as hosted within the same country (as will be the case if yo're buying the new one from the same host as you currently use).
The one thing a dedicated IP can do for you is help insure you're not sharing an IP address with other potentially spammy sites. This can help protect you from "bad neighbours" and may also help protect your email from getting blacklisted due to sharing the IP address with other possible spammy senders.
Contrary to what many may wish to believe, having a faster site will have essentially no impact on your rankings, unless your old hosting was terribly slow. A lot was made of the announcement that page speed has become a ranking factor, but careful reading shows that it's only a minor factor that only applies to a small subset of queries and even then only when it's significantly slower than it's competitors.
The big reason to improve your site's speed is to improve your users' experience. This can lead to more engagement on your site, and higher conversion rates.
One last note - your English is terrific! My second language is French, but I sure couldn't do SEO research in that language. I'm always impressed by people who can do technical discussions in a second language.
Hope that helps. If anything's not clear, just ask and I'll try to go over it better.

Infact the problem is that I have to change two times the ip and not once.
One time for changing from actual server to better server
And the second time buying the dedicated ip
Do you think that changing two times in a month the ip can be a problem?
Even if I try to make the transfer as fast as I can?
-
I recommend getting a dedicated ip address (see video). Will you lose rankings by changing your IP address once? No (as long as the ip address isn't blacklisted and etc.).
-
Getting Rankings Involve different Parameters Like Onpage ; Off page Optimization.
But Good Server speed and Website loading Speed will be beneficial But If you say only dedicated IP will help you in ranking then the answer is NO. Thanks
-
Do you think that dedicated ip can help ranking?
thank you
-
1- Do you think that better technologies and server speed response can improve My ranking?
Yes as Google Loves fast loading Websites.
2- Another question: if I switch server they will change ip. Does it affect My SEO negatively?
No, It will Not effect your website negatively.
3- And after the switch and ip changing Is too much if I re-change ip buying a dedicated ip?
Cannot understand your Question.
Simply:: Go ahead and Change your host with better Hosting provider.
thanks

Questions About The Right Hosting
Hi All, I have a few questions about the right type of hosting that I should be using. I understand that many people say we should be using the best hosting that we can afford. However, when I have a website with just 650 pages / posts is it really worth worrying too much about where I am hosting. I am UK based so at the moment I am using a UK host along with a CDN. I have a unique IP address and on a server that has a limited amount of websites on it. The main question is there really any need to be looking at anything else. The truth is I have used cloud hosting before and the website loaded slower around the world with that than it does with my current setup. Thanks

Is there a reason why a host would be reluctant to give up Cpanel access info?
Granted, a strange question here... My client lost her cpanel login credentials, or never bothered to get them (she didn't even know she had a hosting account). Apparently she has a friend who is hosting her website for her, free of charge. I need to get into the cpanel, but they are being extremely difficult. The client asked them and they didn't want to give it to her either. Still trying, but is there any reason why they would be so difficult? How does it benefit them? It can't be because they're afraid of losing her account because she isn't paying them anything. Totally confused by this. Any ideas?

How to best keep client hosting separate but manageable?
For those of you with a number of client accounts for which you do hosting, how do you keep them manageable but separate? Let's assume you have both public and private clients and don't want someone to do a reverse IP/server lookup and be able to identify everyone you work with. Additionally clients can be working in the US/UK/EU and want localised hosting. I'm looking for a large shared hosting provider (with some potentially dedicated options) who will let me manage accounts on multiple physical servers in a variety of geolocations from a single billing account and preferably a single admin panel as well. Once client contracts end I also need the ability to let them take over the hosting in a break-away account and to be able to add their own billing details. I'm looking for a solution a bit more upmarket than something like SEOhosting from Hostgator (which doesn't allow me to specify geolocation territories anyway), potentially with an account manager to help me sort out the individual requirements. Does anybody have any ideas of providers or what I should be searching for to get what I want?

Satellite Website Dilemma - Hosted in House or Elsewhere? Blog or Actual Shop?
Hi All, I have recently noticed a LOT of websites appearing in some of the SERP (example http://goo.gl/UyHZp6) that have an exact match domain (or as near as) and are either thin blogs that have a splash of content, and then link back to Amazon, competitor A competitor B etc. or an online secondary shop. Getting tired of this I have purchased a couple of exact match domains of my own, but am unsure of the best way to tackle this with long term gains in mind. The exact match domains I have are the .co.uk and com versions of these: http://goo.gl/xrjY7Z http://goo.gl/Mg0XBl The ideal scenario for me would be to create the satellite website as a functioning shop specialising in just a small group of specialist products (10 - 12) from a subcategory of the main site. My main store has 1200 + items and this will make the user experience better as I feel as it will make navigation easier, allow for more information to be present without confusing things. It would also allow the customer to feel safe knowing they are buying from a specialist. However I have the following in mind: My ecommerce software open cart supports multi store from the same database, this is great and makes management massively easy. It would allow me to brand the satellite store up as specialist store yet manage all orders through one admin portal. The sites would have separate IP addresses, but I am worried about the site being on the same server as the main site, and sharing whois info etc. Would google think of this as spamming the results? There will be no shared content, and I do not intend to interlink the sites for fear of them looking like a link network. The other option is to take out some cheap hosting and start building content on a blog similar to this: http://goo.gl/sBB3wY I hate this however as it just seems spammy and as a consumer it annoys me when I find this. What are your thoughts on how to deal with this?

Host sitemaps on S3?
Hey guys, I run a dynamic web service and I will start building static sitemaps for it pretty soon. The fact that my app lives in a multitude of servers doesn't make it easy to distribute frequently updated static files throughout the servers. My idea was to host the files in AWS S3 and point my robots.txt sitemap directive there. I'll use a sitemap index so, every other sitemap will be hosted on S3 as well. I could dynamically mirror the content from the files in S3 through my app, but that would be a little more resource intensive than just serving the static files from a common place. Any ideas? Thanks!

Best way to host new product?
Hi guys We are launching a new product, the web pages are being built by a 3rd party and fall outside our current CMS. We're considering either hosting it on 1) sub domain 2) folder within existing site (although will be tricky to implement) or 3) a different URL altogether. What would you say is the best for SEO? Many thanks in advance.... Nigel

I was googling the word "best web hosting" and i notice the 1st and 3rd result were results with google plus. Does Google plus now play a role in improving ranking for the website?

Do different hosting IP addresses really matter?
Hi all It used to be (allegedly) the case that you should have all your sites on different Class Cs or Google would hit you with the spam hammer. Which I guess made some sense because back then they probably didn't have many other ways of detecting unnatural link networks. But today with all their data on who is related to who, can this really matter any more? I'd like to move 3 or 4 of our sites (all long-established with widely varied link sources) onto one server, one CMS install, one less headache but I wanted to check first in case I'm about to shoot myself in the foot. Thanks Roger
