How Do I Change Web Host?
This is really quite simple. To move your site without any interruption please follow these instructions:
- Order web hosting from us.
- Upload your web site to the temporary address we give you.
- Contact the company you registered your domain name through and ask them to change the name servers to the ones provided in your Hostroute welcome email (Holders of .co.uk domains may require our IPSTAG which is HOSTROUTE)
- Once the name servers are changed it takes about 48 hours for the domain to move over to point to your new Hostroute account.
- When this is complete, contact your previous web host and cncel your account.
Tip: to know when the move is complete add something to the versoin of the site uploaded to our temporary address, like an "x" at the bottom of the front page. That way you can tell if the domain is pointing to our server or the old one.
