Step by Step about Change Web Hosting

You need to follow certain step-by-step guide to achieve a painless and hassle free movement to your new affordable web site hosting provider.

  1. Firstly, you need to copy all current pages used in your web site including photo, text files etc that may be used in your web site. Also make sure when you are transferring your files you may want to keep the directory structure exactly as it is on your web server. Ideally, it is better to plan the transfer process at least one month before you terminate your old web hosting plan, this will give you sufficient time to perform a smooth transfer.
  2. What kind of web site do you have, basic html or with many of particular features? You should to think your site requires, before choose a host that can supply what you demand. These days many hosts do allow you to either handle the domain name change yourself or otherwise. 
  3. While you are waiting for your new bluehost web hosting account to be ready, you need to take a backup all your web files on the old web hosting provider. Make sure you take a backup of anything and everything you can.
  4. Before you make changes to your domain name, make sure you load up all the files to your new host such as hostgator using temporary login information. Most hosting provider do provide temp login information before your domain name resolving to the new address. Even though they won't really work yet, you can still go ahead and set up all the email accounts that are used on your domain.
  5. No matter what registrar you used to register your web site domain, you can start the name change. Technically speaking the only thing that changes in your record is the name server information.
  6. Depending on your domain registrar, you need to get one or more emails confirming the domain name change. Once the change has been initiated it usually takes around 24 to 48 hours for you and your users to see the change. This time is normally called propagation. All the DNS servers around the globe take the same amount of time to "catch up" and take note of your domains new location.
