Will My Search Engine Ranking Get Affected If I Change My Web Host?

Moving your website from one web server to another may not actually impact your search engine rankings, but there are still certain crucial measures you should do. The first thing you should know is that there is a propagation period before the changes take effect when you point your domain’s DNS from one server to another. Make sure the search engine is still visiting and indexing your website on the new server before taking down your old one.

Undertake the following steps:

• Migrate your website to the New Web Host along with complete content
• Change the DNS of the primary domain name so that it points to the new server
• Monitor the logs of the new server to know about the visits of search engine bots
• When you know that the search engine bots are crawling your website from the new server, you can get the old website down
