What should I do if I want to change hosting with no hurts to google?

[alexandra]

My site is now on a shared server with unique IP, I am thinking of changing to another hosting plan, it is also a shared server, but with more bandwidth, it also provide unique IP for each domain, actually they are all in one company`s data center, but the server are differient,IP will also be differient, and the hosting company said there would be no down time for my site while the migration.

I would like to hear your advice on what I should do in order to avoid any loss to my google ranking?

thanks

You should ask your host not to cancel your site's files from the old server.

Check your logs, once you see no bot activity on the old server tell your host to cancel the files.

Just make sure your site doesn't go down and is always reachable. If you're not changing URLs then you shouldn't have a problem and won't have to mess with 301s.

There hasn't even been any problem at all with moving sites from shared IP to shared IP, and I've just moved several. Just get everything up on the new all ready for the dns change because it's happening almost immediately now.

Same here, I just moved 4 sites to a new host no page or site changes just moved to new server with shared IP. made sure everything ran and then submitted the DNS change
