How to move your website to a
different Host!
To move away from your current host, or
to be able to have your new website visible on the internet,
you need to select a ( new ) hosting company, set up
your account and upload your site to their server.
You also need to tell your domain registrar
where the ( new ) domain is to be hosted, so that they
can inform the Internet DNS system.
For the purposes of this tutorial we will
assume that you have chosen us to be your new host.
Your first step is to order your 30 day
FREE trial. Go to our hosting
packages page, select the package which suits you
then go thru the ordering process.
In our ordering process, you will be asked
to supply basic name and address information. At the
end of the process if you click on the link back to
this site you will see our Get Started page, there you
will be asked to supply us with the domain name you
will be hosting with us.
As soon as we have all this information
we will set up your account on our server and, once
this is done you will be able to upload your site.
Your next step is to go to your domain
registrars website and, using the password and username
they gave you when comfirming your domain registration,
log in to your domain management page.
Once on the management page you should
look for a link to Change DNS or Host Server information
or redelegation or something similar.
You need to change your host server address
from whatever it may be now to the following:-
Primary = ns1.websitemanagementservices.com
Secondary = ns2.websitemanagementservices.com
Once you have initiated this process it
will take somewhere between 24 and 48 hours to take
effect.
To check on the status of your redelegation
go to
www.betterwhois.com, enter your domain name into their
search box and click search. If you see
Primary = ns1.websitemanagementservices.com
Secondary = ns2.websitemanagementservices.com
in the results you will be able to begin
uploading immediately.
Alternatively, just keep trying to log
into your account with your ftp software. As soon as
the domain resolves to our server the connection will
be made.

our server click here.
If you have trouble following the instructions above,
we will be happy to do it for you but will need the
following information to be able to complete the process:-
-
your domain name registrar's URL
-
your username and password with the registrar.
Please fill
in this form to get the information to us and
we will get back to you when the job is done.
