    Almost every change you make on a website has the propensity to effect your rankings in one form or another. Generally this is going to have a fairly minimal effect on rankings. If you are trying to rank locally, a local server will give you a bit of a boost due to ip address relevancy, but with so many companies using hosts such as go daddy I don't know why it even matters. The benefits of a better host far outweigh any incremental drop in SEO.

    That depends on a lot of factors.
    One is: If you're trying to climb rankings in Sweden, you'd prefer to have hosting located in Sweden.
    It could affect negatively or positively, depending on what IP class the server got.

    But to answer your question more straight, I don't think you'll see much difference.

      If you are going for a different country, yes.
      But only in searches narrowed for that country, not
      necessarily global searches and terms. And more skewed
      with a country extension.

      A local server in a city in the US is not going to do anything
      for searches locally. You have to know how the internet works.

      And PR? Not bloody likely.

        Thanks for the replys, i live in Chile and im will buy seo hosting to improve my rank on the SE, currently i have justhost and hostgator which are in the US and have achieved good rankings locally even the servers are not local... so changing to seo hosting would be good? for having c-class unique ips

        thanks

    Like others mentioned the only difference might the host IP and possible if your new host somehow has more downtime or slower servers than you might have a drop in the search engines

    First of all spend some time searching the net to make sure the new hosting account is better and stronger than your older one because not all of the packages sold today are uptime all the time and this could affect your web ranks or indexing records. If your new hosting servers are in your country, nothing will happen but it is not a great idea shifting to many service providers within a short time.
