Many people don’t satisfy with their hosting providers but have to stay with them; this is simply because they think that moving to a new server is too complicated. They don’t want the down time when they move their websites, reset domain name severs and change email settings. Fortunately, it is possible to move a website without downtime.<\/p>\n
Here is step-by-step on how to move your website without downtime.
\n1.Keep the current hosting account
\nWhile you are finding the new web hosting make sure you don’t cancel your current hosting account. If your current hosting provider knows you want to cancel your hosting account, they would terminate your account early. This will cause the downtime.<\/p>\n
2.Analysis your website needs and select a new hosting
\nSelect a hosting that can provide what your website needs. Sign up a new hosting account, you should have two hosting accounts at this time.<\/p>\n
3.Backup and download all of your files
\nBackup the entire website .You can use a FTP program or whatever development tools you may be used to download all files. Then upload the entire website to the new hosting account. Keep the directory structure exactly as it is on your previous hosting account. If you have built the site it is most likely that you already have all of these.<\/p>\n
4.Update your name severs
\nYou’ll get at least two name severs in the new account information email from your new hosting provider. After moving the entire website to the new hosting account, it’s time to update your domain name servers. Go to domain control panel to change the DNS to the new hosting provider’s.<\/p>\n
5.Monitor (for ) the domain name change
\nOnce the DNS has been changed, it usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the entire world to see the change. During this period your DNS is propagating worldwide and your website will be bouncing from the previous host to the new host every other minute randomly. Once the propagation has completed that means you are safely to cancel the previous hosting account.<\/p>\n
