How to change your web hosting provider

There often comes a time when you may want to change your web hosting provider.
This can be for a number of reasons which include, reliability or poor standard of customer support or simply that your current web hosting company can not provide the services or technology you require.

To ensure your move to the new hosting company you need to follow the following
steps.

First sign up with your new hosting provider and get your new server access details.
Then using the ftp details upload your complete website to the appropriate directory on the server. You will get this information from your new web
hosting company
.

The next thing you need to setup is your email. You should get access to an online control panel where you can do this.
Once the above is setup and you are happy you have uploaded your website correctly, the final thing you need to change is the name servers on your domain name. These will need to be set to the ones provided by your new hosting company.

The new name servers can take between six to twenty four hours to propagate fully.
Once this is complete you just need to cancel your old web hosting account.
