When I moved my website to Digital Ocean, I see big drops in Google rankings, has anyone else experienced this ?
I am thinking as Digital Ocean is flexible with the IPs, they might be misued by some clients, and get banned on some services, I am thinking that might be used by Google rankings.

Hello, @adrianTNT
You can ask/request Google to re-crawl your site once moved to DigitalOcean as well. You can find more information here:

This is usually done when you see deleted content when searching your site or you can’t see your newly added content as well, but it’s proven to help in cases where you see that your SEO score is dropping down as well.
Hope this helps!

Maybe you are right.Correctly moving sites won’t cause this,or the DigitalOcean’s droplets is slower to react than your origin servers,so Google lowered your rank.
