Will switching hosts hurt search rankings

If i have a site that is ranking good but I move it to a different host
is there any way this can hurt my search rankings

Not really, it's not like you are changing your content, keywords or domain name. All you are doing is changing your hosting service, which has nothing to do with that.

Changing hosting providers will not affect your SEO at all.

The only way it would is if:
A) Your site is down for long enough to be de-indexed, before it is online again at the new host
B) You move to a poor quality host with lots of downtime or slow/insecure servers

It has two scenarios, let's understand it in details:

Only host changing- If you are just changing host for better performance, then it will not affect your search position in a negative way.

If you will change the web name, or move or delete page location, then it will create some trouble some for sure.

Changing domain names, content management systems, design, web hosts affects your search engine visibility.

Changing content management systems does not affect your search rankings. Despite what some people believe, you don't get better search rankings if you use Wordpress.

The bottom line is, Google does not care if you use Wordpress, Joomla, Magento, DNN, or anything other CMS. Now, some CMS's may make it easier for the lay person to perform on-page SEO, but that does not mean the CMS helps your rankings.

As long as you do your own due diligence in maintaining proper on-page SEO, which CMS you use is irrelevant.

Search engine ranking won't hurt if you do not have a downtime while transferring your domain from one provider to another.
