 * If you change your domain (i.e., your URL), your SEO rankings belong to the old
   URL, not the new one, so you start over.
 * You can mitigate a lot of that if you use the change of address tool: [https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/83106?hl=en)
 * If all you’re doing is changing themes and moving the same domain to a new host,
   it should have no effect.
