Whatever be the reason, changing web mājas lapas hostings providers is not an easy task. Nevertheless, keeping a few things in mind can make this task much more accessible than said.
Keep your existing web hosting account open
Do not mistake closing the existing web hosting until you have done all transactions (i.e., new account setup, file transfer, email creation and setup) with the new account. This will make sure that your account remains active during the whole process.
Choose a suitable web hosting provider
Things that should be considered before choosing a web lapu hostings provider.
- Type of OS (window or Linux)
The type of operating system your website supports is an essential thing to consider. For example, if you have ASP, MSSQL, MSACCESS or Microsoft-specific technologies, you must choose a Windows-platform web hosting plan.
- The next thing to consider is disk space (storage) and bandwidth your new web hosting provider will include.
Make a backup of your existing website
Make a backup of your existing files
using FTP access. It should be downloaded in the same structure you want to
upload it to later. However, some free web web lapu hostings services do not offer FTP access. In this case,
you will not be able to backup your data.
Setup new email address
Make sure to keep the same email address in new web hostings to ensure emails are correctly received.
DNS changes and propagation
DNS is usually provided when you sign up with the new account. You will need to replace your new domain in the setting. Once uploaded, it will take 24-48 hours to update everywhere.
Cancel your old account
Once your website at your new web web hostings provider is up and working, you can delete your old account.
