Hey everyone,

I have been doing some research of my own but I am interested if anyone else has any experience or comments on whether switching hosting companies (Servers) will have any impact on SEO.

I am considering taking on a client's website but it has really good ranking as it sits. Am I better off to leave them on their current server and just do maintenance from there?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Shouldn't matter unless Google is hosting it.:lol:
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

It seems the speed of the connection and uptime would be the only server/hosting concerns?
If the site is ranking well and you move it, what would matter is keeping the same pages, page titles, etc...
Does the site have any analytics code in it so you could see what's working so well? Maybe even make it better? :D

I agree with Paintbrush. Speed and uptime. Depending on what the website is created in, you could also add caching to increase speed as well.
