Hi Alastair,

Why are you changing IPs?  If you are running dedicated kit at Rackspace
you should  be able to move the keep the IP range you already have -
especially if,  as you say,  you are paying for their reassuringly
expensive managed service.   That should apply even if you are moving
rack.

Speak to a NOC engineer,  rather than the accounts team.

We just did the same thing at Claranet.

Regards

angus

Subject: [uk-netmarketing] Changing IP address and SEO

Hi everyone,

We're shortly going to be upgrading our servers which are managed / hosted
by Rackspace (who are pricey but awesome). The geo location will remain
the same, the supplier will remain the same, but the  IP address will
obviously be changing after many many years...

Getting conflicting reports on whether this will have an affect on SEO of
client sites that we host? Some say yes, others say no and online research
is mixed too. Asked Rackspace and they said yes, but they could just be
covering their backs to be on the safe side...

Anybody got any experiences with this? Anything else we should be aware
of? All advice much appreciated!

Many thanks,
Al
