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

Need Third Party Input. Our Web host blocked all bots including Google and myself because they believe SEO is slowing down their server.
I would like some third party input... partly for my sanity and also for my client. I have a client who runs a large online bookstore. The bookstore runs in Magento and the developers are also apparently the web host. (They actually run the servers.. I do not know if they are sitting under someones desk or are actually in a data center) Their server has been slowed down by local and foreign bots. They are under the impression my SEO services are sending spammer bots to crawl and slow down their site. To fix the problem they disallowed all bots. Everything, Google, Yahoo, Bing. They also banned my access from the site. My clients organic traffic instantly took a HUGE hit. (almost 50% of their traffic is organic and over 50% is Organic + Adwords most everything from Google) Their keyword rankings are taking a quick dive as well. Could someone please verify the following as true to help me illustrate to my client that this is completely unacceptable behavior on part of the host. I believe: 1.) You should never disavow ALL robots from your site as a solution for spam. As a matter of fact most of the bad bots ignore robots.txt anyways. It is a way to limit where Google searches (which is obviously a technique to be used) 2.) On site SEO work as well as link building, etc. is not responsible for foreign bots and scrappers putting a heavy load on the server. 3.) Their behavior will ultimately lead to a massive loss of rankings (already happening) and a huge loss of traffic (already happening) and ultimately since almost half the traffic is organic the client could expect to lose a large sum of revenue from purchases made by organic traffic since it will disappear. Please give your input and thoughts. I really appreciate it!

If I switch my domain name, will I keep link juice from redirect?
I am moving one of my sites wellington-florida-homes.com to a new domain (wellingtonfloridahomes.com). Most of our link-juice is coming from another domain we purchased (theshockleyteam.com) that is redirected to our primary site. If I simply redirect theshockleyteam.com to our new domain (wellingtonfloridahomes.com) I will still have the link juice passing through, right? Thanks!

301 Redirects Not Allowed by Host
Not sure if anyone has an answer, but we have a client who has an ecommerce store with SBI! The client has a new site with a new store builder/host and wants to 301 redirect all of the old site's indexed pages to the new site. However, we were just informed by SBI! that 301 redirects are not allowed - even more, they don't even grant FTP access. Any brilliant ideas from anyone how we can get around this?? Thank you!

Site Hosting Question
We are UK based web designers who have recently been asked to build a website for an Australian Charity. Normally we would host the website in the UK with our current hosting company, but as this is an Australian website with an .au domain I was wondering if it would be better to host it in Australia. If it is better to host it in Australia, I would appreciate if someone could give me the name of a reasonably priced hosting company. Thanks Fraser

How do you know when to upgrade hosting to VPS or Dedicated Server from an SEO perspective?
From an SEO perspective, how do you know when to upgrade web hosting to VPS or Dedicated Server? Added: We have a Dedicated IP Address and plenty of bandwidth and disk space. We've done a lot of work on page speed. What we don't need is slow-downs due to the sharing space. Our business is seasonal with much higher traffic for three months of the year. I'm leaning towards moving it up a notch. What is the next level after this? And yes, our web host just confirmed that some of the things I want to implement can't be done because we are on a shared server. He recommended going to Dedicated Hosting. And finally: If we want to be absolutely positive that shared hosting problems won't affect us, and to customize, and also to increase speed, dedicated server seems to be the way to go?
