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

Does my website builder/host have an effect on my SEO?
My SEO ranking has been suffering over the last year despite all my efforts. Do you think my website builder/host could negatively effect my SEO? I'm using something called jigsy. They seem really good in the sense that they are very responsive to requests for help, but I have found them to be limiting at times.

I cant:
-edit H1 and H2 tags on individual pages...the same ones are plastered throughout the site as part of a "theme"
-Do any link cannonicalization, which Moz Pro is marking me with 282 critical issues for.
-and I've had numerous times I've had to search out HTML code to paste into my page because they're missing something. ...I may have just answered my question myself, but I'm wondering how much of a problem all of this might be for my SEO? I was looking at switching to something like squarespace recently but it looks like Jigsy has thought of that and doesn't have any way for me to transfer my site to another service..... ugh! site:www.joeborders.com1 -
Changing Web Hosting
We're about to change web hosting providers and I'm wondering whether there's an "optimal" way to do this without losing any SEO value. Is it as simple as changing hosts without SEO in mind - point the domain to the new host?

Redirecting domain to the main domain (hosting cost?)
Hello Everyone, I have the following situation. There is main domain and a secondary domain that is related to the page on the main domain. I want to integrate the content of the secondary domain into the page on the main domain and redirect the secondary domain via 301 to that specific page. As i understand I can do it via .htaccess using rewrite mechanism. http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection But the question is does it mean I have to keep paying for the hosting for the secondary domain? Because htaccess has to be located on the web server so I would need a hosting plan for it? Is that true? Is there any way around it? P.S. to avoid any confusion - I am talking about hosting plan - not domain registration fees

Should I change my host
Have a feeling that the answer will be obvious here but more opinions are always good... I own a number of domains, mainly com, which are targeted at the UK but hosted in the netherlands. I have noticed a very high number of dutch hits to my sites. Lower than UK but takings population into account it works out to be higher. I fear my decision to renew my dutch server instead of going for a UK one is helping me rank in the wrong part of the world. I have paid a couple of months ahead for the dutch server but am wondering if the cost of writing off a couple of hundred pounds will be less than I'm losing due to my location. Should I take the financial hit on the server in the hope that buying a UK one will increase my relevant traffic?

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

Where should a knowledge base be hosted for max. SEO benefit?
A client would like to set up a knowledge base to work in conjunction with their website and we are tossing up whether to go with a hosted solution (and therefore set up as a subdomain) or find a solution that we host on the clients domain (which will presumably have more SEO benefit). We are leaning towards the latter (although are mindful that we need to balance the client’s desire for a quality KB solution). Appreciate your feedback.
