The first step is to signup for web hosting Web Hosting. This will allow you to start transferring information between your old host and your new host (us). Make sure that you do not cancel your account with your current web host, until your site has been transferred successfully.

Once your web hosting account has been created with us, you will receive a welcome email with your account information. Your first task is to set up your email addresses, so they match your current email addresses, using your control panel. This will ensure your email is received correctly when you switch hosts.

Download your current web site from old web host, into a folder on your computer. (if you have a recent copy of your web site on your computer, this will also suffice.)

Next, you will need to upload your web site using FTP

Next, you will make your domain name point to your new web site hosted on our servers. To do this, you will need to update your domain name DNS details at your current domain name registrar (the organisation who bills you for your domain). Every registrar has a different procedure, so it is best you contact them or use their online management systems. Our DNS settings are found in your welcome email

After you have updated your domain name with our DNS settings, it will take up to 12 hours for these changes to propagate around the internet. During this time, people who access your domain name may reach your old web site hosted from your old provider or your new web site hosted with us.

Ensure both web sites stay online for 24 hours, so the end user will always reach your web site.

Once your domain name dns settings have fully propagated, your web site and email will be solely hosted from our servers and you are free to leave your old hosting provider.
