Can moving my website to "the cloud" harm my listings?

[recipedude2]

It sounds to me that that answer is yes it could hurt your listings, keep your existing server at it's existing location but it's totally cool to serve up static content from cloud services. My site got burned big time by simply migrating my colo to the US (no other changes whatsoever), it took several months to recover but has never fully recovered to the previous levels.

where can you ask this questions ? that michael s asked ?

[MinaJadeBlog]

Hello,

I would like to know why cannot I see the comments below the videos (although I logged in), and why cannot I send a comment from my own computer. I tried another computer, and I could.

Does it have to do something with copyrights or legal subjects?

Yours sincerely,

Mina

Sorry but I have to say this: What if the cloud is based in Germany and the wind blows it over Austria? ;)

[emanuelkrassenstein]

Michael is taking about using a CDN or peer network to host a URL in a country foreign to the sites core traffic which could result in Google's misinterpretation of targeted traffic for German users.

SimonMGould nope I am a Yank from Philly. I thought you were just stupid. Hey others could read the question above and get confused so no harm done.

Disclaimer: Simon cant spell example he emailed me the following: Dsiclaimer: I've nothing against Germans but his guy annoyed me.

In general, cloud computing customers do not own the physical infrastructure, by renting usage from a third-party provider. They consume resources as a service and pay only for resources that they use.

No need to get nasty but a good question deserves a good answer.

[SimonMGould]

Whatever... get a life.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I am constantly looking for ways to secure my site, and worry about that. Watching this video, finally shows that there are people out there feeling the same. I am not lonely anymore.

what the hell is the cloud?

[almightyvegeta87]

Cloud is sites hosted on the same server.

[celshader]

The 'cloud' stands for cloud computing. In a nutshell its outsourcing parts of your website to various online services using their API.

eg. googlemaps.

It reduces the storage and bandwidth demands of your own hosting service and allows you to plug all kinds of cool features and applications into your site that get updated regularly.
