How do I switch to a different web host?
- You need to have access you domain name: You will need to change the name server addresses for your domain before the switch can take place.
- Sign up a hosting package with the new host: Choose the new host carefully. It is best not to have your web design company hosting your site.
- Transfer files from the old host to the new host : If your web site doesn't have any database, you can simply copy all the existing files from the old host to the new host. If your web site is running any database, you may need professional help to ensure a smooth transfer with no or little downtime.
