Hi, I have had my 2 sites for about 6 years, and have over a thousand pages indexed in the search engines. My host company sold a few years ago and my site is hosted on an old server, I am told. I am told I need to update and have it moved to another server. Will this affect my pages that are already indexed? Will this cause any disruption with the spiders that come to crawl and update pages? The person I spoke to on the phone at the hosting company did not know the answer to these questions. I am told, I need to move my sites to newer severs. I do not want any surprises in terms on the indexed pages and the crawls. Thanks for your help in advance.

I have just recenlty done this with no ill effects. I received the IP address first and uploaded and prepared my site. When everything was ready I changed the DNS to the new site and everything went without a problem.
