Hi
I'm going to change my hosting next week because my actual one is a little bit expensive. The only problem I am afraid of, is if my traffic is going to be affected by this. Both hostings (the one I am and the the new one)told me that the only thing I have to do is, once I have the new account, I have to change the DNS servers son the traffic is directed to the new web server.
Do the search engines know quickly that a change has been made and how to find the path to the new hosting? I heard sometimes people loose traffic doing what I'm about to do.
By the way, I'm still on the train of affiliate marketing since I first heard about this kind of job and Allan Gardyne. Not rich yet (and I don't think it will happen), but having some interesting revenues in addition to my conventional salary.
The affect will be maximum 4 to 8 hours unless you do you any redirect.
If you plan your change so that you have everything set up and published then switch nameservers and you are using a host in the USA it can take as little as a few hours to as long as 24-48 hours.
Just because your DNS is resolving in one part of the country doesn't mean that it is resolving in all servers throughout the country.
The reality is that you need to move your service for financial reasons (And hosting is not expensive) so it's likely you are not going to lose much income by moving your site.
Check your logs and see what times and days you have the least amount of traffic and plan around that. But again for most people there is so little income involved it just doesn't matter.
