Do changing host provider, hosting one site inside another, and domain name privacy impact ranking?
- SEO |
1) I have had one site hosted on Startlogic for the past 8 years. Have not done much with that site for the past 5 years, but want to...after moving to a new host provider. Does it hurt ranking to move to a new host provider after so many years on a different one?
2) I have a site and blog hosted on godaddy. I created the blog first and then found out that godaddy allowed you to host multiple sites via one account! Startlogic does not...at least for the type of account I have. Anyway, so I created my new site and put all its pages in a folder within my blog's existing main folder in godaddy. Site works great (although for some strange reason in mobile version the site did not show up and instead an error page of the upper level blog showed up, and goaddy tech guy could not solve the problem so disabled mobile view of the site). Anyway, I am wondering if there is any danger in hosting a site within another site (in this case blog)'s main folder as far as SEO or other relevant issues go.
3) When I got my two recent domain names, I also paid for domain name privacy. Does this hurt ranking? Also, when I checked the monetary value of one of my older sites on a site that estimates website values, it did not give me any results based on the fact that it could not identify site hosting and owner details. Other similar value gauging sites did ok. It almost seems like in today's social media Google+ and Facebook age, it is best to have as little privacy as possible.
