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

Our site recently switched from http to https. If you type in the http://www.websitename.com then it will automatically go to https://www.websitename.com ... my question is... do I still need to create a redirect in the htaccess file to ensure we don't lose all the links currently pointing to the http version of the website?

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!

Two domains One hosting account
I have two separate domains set up on one hosting account through godaddy. Will this affect the SEO negatively? They are completely different sites with their own unique domains but on my local files the second domain is set up as a subfolder for the original hosted domain. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Is there a penalty for linking to sites that are all hosted on the same IP address?
Hi... We're doing some reciprocal link building and a gentleman has been kind enough to offer me sever additional links for the exchange. All of them (5) are on the same IP address as one of his links to which we have already linked. They are in a related field of endeavor, legal websites. If I make the swap with him, is Google going to disregard, penalize or otherwise marginalize my efforts? Thanks!
