Google and Alexa Rating & Changing Platform

[ErJohn]

Hi everybody;

I have a website that I had it built on ASP platform.

If I change the platform from ASP to let say JSP or any other platform down the road, would it affect?
1- Alexa rating
2- Google / Search engine rating.

If so, how it would affect?

Thanks for your help and best wishes to you all.

I think as long as the URLs remains the same there should be no change.

Right - just make sure you don't change the .asp or .aspx extensions. Instead, configure the server to parse your legacy extensions through the new technology - Tomcat or the PHP engine or whatever technology you end up choosing.

If you are on shared hosting, an do not have the power to configure the server to use asp or aspx extentions for JSP,

You have some adventures coming

I know, been there done that,

If you can manage to get some form of 301 redirect working, it might help,

If you've dedicated hosting, you can probably do what others have mentioned, retain the .asp, .aspx extentions

If you change from .asp to .jsp pages in your urls you'll lose all juice from inbound links to the old .asp pages.

Like others have already mentioned you'll need to do some configuration on your web server to keep the urls the same OR 301 redirect them all.

I recently looked at a site that has kept their old .asp URLs, but the whole thing now runs on PHP scripts.

It is interesting to see the hackers in the log files that are trying to exploit various ASP flaws and always failing.

Yeah, when I went from a Windows platform to Linux it solved a lot of my problems. I still see the hackers trying to hit my site too. No more ASP for me...and much better results.
