Hence we shifter our website hostings from the US server to the UK server . As soon as we have done this , all our website hostings hosted on the UK server have been ' killed' . The Search Engine traffic has been overnight reduced by 90 % .
We have checked our website hostings for whether they are being listed in the Spam database but they are not so.
We suspect that this loss of traffic could be attributed to Google penalising the bad neighbourhood .( we could be sharing server / IP with unscruplous website hostings / domains. )

Can somebody shed light on this ?

Our US server was vortech using the hsphere and now we are on EUKhosting using hostcontroller.

Help or we will perish!
Changing host means the Name-Servers need to be replaced via domain control panel and hence the file names and structure of your website hosting, backlinks etc is going to be remain same, so clear up your mind first, changing host is not going to affect the traffic and ranking. Also Page Ranking is going to be based on the onsite and offsite factors for the domain name that you hold and it has nothing to do with your IP address. I think you need to double check everything, some factors listed below, as there could be any reason that may have caused the problem;

- Your sites's pages might be unreachable
- Lack of links
_ Lot of spammer in your link networks
- Scrapper website hostings linking to you
- The domain prior history
- Duplicate content
_ you might have done any redirect that may have created trouble with google.
- Do you update your content regular?

Double check everything, do you use google sitemap? if yes what do the diagnostic stats say?
