Changing server affects Search engine visits?

[ozpo1]

Hi,
If I change my server from one host to another, would it affect the visits of the search engine robots?
Does changing DNS make a different?

There maybe some benefit/loss to doing this...

The biggest thing to keep in mind is that you keep the file/page locations the same as the old server.

I haven't heard of anything recently that would suggest you stay where your at if your moving to a better host.

What benefit or loss could there be? The domain name and site being up and running is all that matters. Whether it is with one hosting company or another has not significance...UNLESS you have a host with some SERIOUS uptime issues where your site is frequently down when the search engine spiders visit it.

So as long as the transition from one host to another is quick and smooth you should be fine.

I appreciate it.

Does changing DNS make a different?Before moving to another host also check whether your new hosting IP is blacklisted or clear? If IP is blacklisted then don't move.

Hey manpasand ! How can one know whether new hosting IP is blacklisted or not?
