Keeping your SEO and URLs after migrating

A worry business owners often have when changing host is whether the move will hurt their Google rankings. The reassuring answer is that a well-managed hosting migration should have no negative effect on your SEO - and our approach is designed to protect it.

The single most important point is this: your domain name and your page addresses (URLs) do not change just because you switch host. Your site keeps the same web address, the same pages, and the same links. Search engines see the same site at the same URLs - only the underlying server changes, which they neither see nor penalise.

How our migration protects your SEO:

• Same URLs. We move your site as-is, so every page keeps its existing address and your accumulated ranking stays with it.
• No downtime. Our reverse-proxy cutover keeps your site continuously available, so search engines never find it offline during the move.
• SSL preserved. We re-issue your certificate so the site stays on secure https, which search engines expect.
• Faster hosting can help. With DirhamGuard keeping your site quick, improved speed can even be a small positive signal.

A couple of good practices: avoid changing your URL structure at the same time as migrating (do one thing at a time), and after the move check that your site is reachable and that key pages load correctly.
