Will domain registration changes ding me in Google?

Hello! We have a question from Scott Clark in Lexington, KY. Scott says “When you move a domain from one register to another or your registrant information changes slightly (e.g. new phone number) will Google ding you for instability at the registrar?”

And my answer is No, probably not. Certainly people need to change their information, sometimes they change the registrars, that’s completely normal, that’s completely expected behavior. The only times that we try to really keep an eye on that is if we think that someone as a spammer might be trying to buy someone’s domain only for the links or buy an expired domain or something like that. But there’s plenty of times when you are switching to a new address, you are switching to a new phone number where it does make complete sense where that information does need to change. So we try to be very smart about it and you should never see any difference if you are a regular person and the hope is if you are trying to do something sneaky or spammy then we might pay a little bit of a closer eye. But in the typical case I really wouldn’t worry about it.
