I recently moved http://www.TorqueSystems.com from hosting company A to hosting company B.Hosting company B also hosts another one of my sites http://www.CMCcontrols.com which resolves to a unique IP address. The TorqueSystems site was setup with a host header and it uses the same IP as CMCcontrols.Prior to the move, my Google position for the terms "torque systems" was #2 and the link went to TorqueSystems.com. Since the move, the same search returns the same #2 position, but the link now points to CMCcontrols.com. WHY?Before the site went live (on hosting company B) it underwent a complete redesign (with SEO in mind) to remove dynamic content. Only the homepage has been indexed by GoogleBot though it has been crawled many times. WHY?[/url]Welcome to Ozzu! It sure looks like your hosting company B has stuffed up. even if both sites have the same IP address, it shouldnt redirect to the same site.You should feedback your hosting company B about it. madmonk wrote:Host Header's had nothing to due with the problem. Here's what really happened.1) I messed up by following recommendations on http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset which directed me to setup my server to send the HTTP charset versus providing this info as META info in each file.I found this was a problem because my log files recorded a 406 error each time Googlebot visited. This means that my server and G couldn't agree on a language and stopped talking to each other.2) As a result, Google dropped me from their index and the next best search result was - coincidentally - my other site. This made it appear to me that G was redirecting from one site to the other when in reality, the primary site had been dropped altogether.3) The problem was fixed by removing the charset info from HEADER/MIME type and including it in each file
