Changing Hosts Question

[Love2Blog]

I am wondering if anyone has any insight into whether or not changing hosts and going to a dedicated IP would have any negative impact on existing rankings, especially with Bing and Google?

I want to change several sites that rank quite well to another host and do not want to mess up my rankings.

The only downtime issue would be propagation from one nameserver to another.

thanks

Don't change your URL's, and the answer is no, it should have no negative effect. In fact, it may improve, as your sites will likely load faster.
