I have a guy who did and maintains a PHP/MySQL database and search functionality and I have done the rest of my website. So far, I have been hosting my website on his server, but I am not very happy with speed, etc. At the same time he is not very comfortable maintaining the database on a different server (he is relatively new guy). So I thought that I could host the website on a fast server, but link the search functionality to the old server.
I know that technically this is not an issue, however I am not sure if this "jumping" between different servers will not affect my overall internet visibility and ranking. Any comments, experience and suggestions will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
