Hello Friends.
Sometimes your website may require to hire a new web host, Try to keep the URL structure similar when you shift your website to a new web hosting service provider so that you maintain the ranking of your site. Also retain the initial inbound links to your website. Search engines indexes your website's web pages individually apart from your entire site. Cheap web hosting services have adverse effect on the website traffic and also search engine spiders would not be able to access through your site links easily thus affecting SEO.

I've suspected that hosting may affect the ranking of a website since day one, but am yet to see any evidence.

how can hosting affect the way a site is spidered? Surely that's all to do with the code and content, which has bugger all to do with hosting.

I'd like to see some evidence of this  police

If you are on shared hosting your site can be affected if another site on the server (which will be part of the same ip range) gets black listed, couldn't it?

that's the theory which goes back years, but like I say, I'm yet to see any evidence or have any experience of this.

for example, I've noticed (via the Netcraft toolbar) that many of the low quality directories and article submission sites (aka link farms) are hosted at theplanet.com, so i assume this host is so cheap and cheerful, and caters for a certain web demographic that there must be sites on those servers which are banned or under some form of penalty. However, most of my clients sites are also hosted there and I see no adverse affect on their rankings.

Shared hosting doesnt have an effect on a sites performance in the rankings from a cross site point of view, FME. But what shared hosting can do is produce slow load times which can effect a sites performance and also rankings (for example, crap servers can deliver status code errors which cause temporary loss in rankings, e.g. 301s).
