Owing to the various problems or inefficiencies of the old / existing web hosting provider, such as poor support service, frequent downtimes and inability of the host to meet your requirements may compel you to make a switch and get a new web hosting service for your website. Shifting of your website from your current web host to the new web host requires you to undergo certain steps, for a successful migration. The schedule for the transfer should be made well in advance maybe a month before, to ascertain a smooth transfer, and avoid any inaccessibility of your website to occur. Firstly, get a new web hosting service registered and login within 24 hours of its registration so that your new account is activated and you can begin with other important aspects. The next step is to take the backup support of all files for the new provider, as soon as you create a new web hosting account. Normally you might have your files stored in your local computer; however, it would still be necessary and advantageous to have a backup of all your files from old web server, inclusive of HTML-based web files, backup of scripted files, database file and server log file. Then create a directory structure which is identical to directory structure stored on the server, and load the file in their relevant directory. Soon after you login to your new web hosting account, you will receive a notification on email from your new provider, which will also include the details on how to create a website with FTP server details. If required, script files and databases can also be installed, while the email accounts should be setup through administration panel. After this, you can use a temporary URL (provided in the notification email) to test the functioning of your new website. Finally, after testing and verification of the execution of your website, get your old DNS changed to the new DNS from the domain name registrar.
