Hi Warriors,

I want to change the hosting server from S-----B------- to GoDaddy.

Will this affect the SEO done for that website.

Or is there any best way to avoid this affect.

My Site is A Static HTML.

  • You're looking to change "to" GoDaddy?

    First, why are you looking to change? Are you having problems with your current host? If so, what problems are you having?

    Second, what are your requirements & budget?

    • Server often goes down in Current Host. Budget is not a problem. Godaddy is good so going for that.

      Or is there any best Hosting Provider??
  • It shouldn't effect the SEO, unless

    the new hosting is a lot slower,
    the new hosting is based in a different country OR
    you have significant downtime in making the switch

    • The other two are true, but this one isn't.
      This is controlled via Google Webmaster Tools. That's where to set the target country.

      There is no such thing as a "C class" IP address, hosting, etc.

      @OP
      Use a good host -- not Godaddy, not 1&1, not an EIG brand (iPage, Bluehost, Hostgator, etc.)
      Try Stablehost. Or Site5 or Arvixe for unlimited.
      There are much better hosts out there.
      Avoid the fake "top 10" lists that only show the highest paying commissions.

  • It generally has no effect, unless the new host is total crap. But why on earth would you move to GoDaddy?

    • I heard GoDaddy Hosting is Good.

      Is there any Good Hosting than GoDaddy??

  • ipage is much better than godaddy.
  • Dont't go to Godaddy. Trust me. You will regret your decision later.

    • Usually it doesn't effect on your search engine ranking but try to avoid the C-class IP issues.
    • May I know the reason please!! :confused:
  • lol, everyone moves AWAY from godaddy.

    • Why?? Due to Service Or Cost??
      • [1] reply
  • I actual really like GoDaddy and feel its good for positive SEO rep from Google
  • I don't see anything wrong with godaddy. They may not be the absolute best, but they're not bad either. Sometimes I think hosts that are well known are targets for criticism.
  • I am with Hostgator and very happy, but I am glad this subject came up as I have wondered what would happen if someone changed
  • Nope, it won't have any impact - unless your new hosting provider has a slower server speed or a terrible downtime record which only then will affect your Google rankings.

    Other than that, it will be fine. I've switched web hosts quite a few times and my rankings didn't move at all.
  • No it's not.
    Google takes speed into account for SEO. It's been that way for years.

    It's one reason why throttled hosts do so poorly. (EIG, Godaddy, etc)
