Will G penalise me for moving a site to my server

[jvmills]

Hi all, I hope someone can give me a clue about this. And apologies if this is a subject that has already been covered in detail but -

I have a web server with several sites sitting quite nicely on it: I also have 2 sites hosted elsewhere. I want to move these 2 external sites onto my web server so I can admin them more effectively, but I do not want to lose the decent pr both sites have (pr6). They do resonably well because I link across all the sites.

If I get new distinct IPs for these sites and move them onto the server, will Google penalise me for having all my sites on the same server (even with separate IPs) and linking to each other.

I would be grateful for any insights on this as I am trying to decide if/when to move these sites.

Thanks in advance!!

I don't think Google indexes by IP. It indexes url names. If you change the registrar information to point to new nameservers, it is transparent to the user and Google I suspect.

We had to relocate our webservers and it seemed to have no affect at all on our listings or rankings.
