Thank you EGOL, all makes perfect sense and I appreciate your reply. I suspect the problems are mostly centered on the hosting issues, with secondary potential robots.txt issues aswell.

Huge increase in server errors and robots.txtposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Hi Moz community!
Wondering if someone can help? One of my clients (online fashion retailer) has been receiving huge increase in server errors (500's and 503's) over the last 6 weeks and it has got to the point where people cannot access the site because of server errors.
The client has recently changed hosting companies to deal with this, and they have just told us they removed the DNS records once the name servers were changed, and they have now fixed this and are waiting for the name servers to propagate again.
These errors also correlate with a huge decrease in pages blocked by robots.txt file, which makes me think someone has perhaps changed this and not told anyone...
Anyone have any ideas here? It would be greatly appreciated!
I've been chasing this up with the dev agency and the hosting company for weeks, to no avail.Massive thanks in advance
