Switching to a new host is very easy. Let
us show you how!
1) The first step is to join Kiosk Hosting as your new host.
Make sure not to cancel with your old hosting provider,
and do not tell them you will be canceling. For the time
being you switching host needs to be kept a secret from
them, or they could terminate your site early and cause
downtime.
2) At this point you should have hosting accounts with
two hosting providers, the old and Kiosk Hosting. You
will now upload your entire site from the old host to
the new one. This can be done by connecting to their ftp
and downloading all your files. Then connecting to your
kiosk.ws account ftp and uploading all your files. To
connect to your Kiosk Hosting account ftp while the domain
is not yet pointing to it, you can use the IP number provided
in your new hosting account details.
3) After you have all your files on both hosting accounts
you will change your domain names dns. The kiosk DNS settings
are given to you when you signup.
4) Once you know what dns to use on your domain name
you will go to wherever you purchased the domain name
from to make the changes. If you purchased your domain
name from your old host you usually will need to ask them
to make the dns changes for you. You will tell them this....
"Hello my domain with you is ____ my username is
___ and my password _____ please change my domain names
dns to ____ and ____.
If you have any questions we would be more then happy
to help you, or even make the dns changes for you.
Once your dns changes have been made you will need to
wait two days before your site will load off your new
kiosk hosting account. During this two day period your
dns is propagating world wide, and your site will be bouncing
from the old host to the new host every other minute randomly.
Once the two days is up your site will only be loading
off your new Kiosk Hosting account.
5) 48 hours should have passed now since you have updated
your dns. If it has, you may now contact your host you
were moving from and cancel your account with them.
If you completed all the above steps you have successfully
switched hosts, with no downtime at all!
