So, you’ve decided that your current host doesn’t suit your needs and you need to choose a new one. Well, don’t worry – it happens all the time. Adult webmasters often upgrade their hosting services once their Web sites become popular, usually because their current hosting firm cannot provide an effective level of scalability or technical support.
Before you move, it’s extremely important to make sure you have copies of everything related to your site. Double-check that all content, including Web pages, databases and scripts, are properly archived. But don’t archive your Web sites just in case you switch hosts – adult webmasters should always backup their data at regular intervals in case of unexpected data loss or hardware failure. Furthermore, this will ensure that all your data is archived and compressed in its original directories, which is very important if you want to retain the full-working integrity of your Web site when you move.
Once you have archived your site, then make arrangements to purchase your new hosting services. Make sure that any new solution you select includes basic services that approximate and surpass the service that you were obtaining with your previous provider. Perform a search with an advanced search utility to make sure the companies you are considering offer exactly what you’re looking for. It makes no sense to replace your present hosting service with another Web hosting solution that equally cannot fulfill your technical requirements.
Once your new solution is activated, upload your archived Web pages, database and scripts to the new host. You will be allocated an IP number from the new hosting company. Take time to debug and test the new site from the individual IP number.
Once your site is entirely debugged and you verify that all site functionality is operative, transfer your domain name service (DNS) servers over from your old host to your new host.
It is imperative that you retain both your old and new hosting services during your hosting solution transition. You will need to check your e-mail from both hosting providers, since some regions of the Internet will direct e-mail to your original host, while other regions will start sending mail to your new server during the transition.
This same situation will occur with a Web server during the period of propagation. For this reason, you must ensure that both hosting services are operating simultaneously during your solution transition.
Once a week or two have elapsed, cancel the account with the previous hosting company. Make sure to only pull the plug on your old account when e-mail stops arriving from your old server.
Remember, when you’re shopping for a new hosting company, make sure its services suit all of your needs. Try the advanced host search to find a host that meets your exact specifics. This will reduce your chances of having to search for another host later.
