Move / Change Web Hosting with NO Downtime

 

Carefully follow the 3 Simple Steps below...

Step 1 -
Go to the Datahosted Hosting order page and choose the Web hosting plan required for your website.
Your hosting account kit and settings will be emailed to you instantly once you complete your order.
The email will contain your FTP account, temporary FTP account, temporary web address, DNS settings and more.

Step 2 -
Publish and/or Upload a copy of your Web site to your new hosting account at DataHosted Hosting and use the temporary Web address to check that your site is functioning properly.
Use the ´ Temporary FTP account´ and ´Temporary Web address´ provided to you in the email containing your hosting account settings.

Step 3 -
Once you have completed step 1 and 2 wait 24 hours before you change the DNS of your domain name.
To change the DNS you must contact or visit the website or registrar where you currently have your domain name registered and change your Domain Name Servers to ours.
Use the ´DNS settings´ provided to you in the email containing your hosting account settings.
Once you change the DNS settings of your domain name it can take 24 to 72 hours for your domain name to propagate to your new Web Hosting account located at DataHosted Hosting.

Note: If you complete and perform steps 1 thru 3 properly your website will experience NO Downtime.
Once you complete step 3 wait at least 24 hours and then check to see if your DNS has been updated.
You can then cancel your Web hosting account at your previous hosting provider.
