Moving Web Hosting between providers can be a daunting task. Our goal is to make this process as smooth as possible and this guide should provide some basic information to help you get started.
The first step is to sign up for any one of our Web Hosting plans. This can be done by contacting us and discussing a suitable plan. The order process will then continue with a transfer of your domain name if applicable. Once we receive your payment your account will be activated. At this point it is important to note that your Web Hosting and Domain Name will still be with your current provider.
Once your new account with us has been created there are a few things that will need to be transferred, they include:
1. Copying your Website
If you have a copy of your web site on your computer this can be transferred via FTP to our servers. Your account with us comes with an Account Information email that provides the FTP details you will need to use to complete this step. Alternatively we can transfer the files for you if you can provide us with the account details of your previous provider.
Once the web site has been copied, the Account Information email contains a temporary web address you can use to see if the web site is working correctly.
2. Creating Email Accounts
We start creating Email Accounts that match what you have setup with your current provider. We provide all the information you need to set these email accounts up in a program such as Microsoft Outlook. It is recommended that these new accounts are setup side by side alongside your old accounts for the time being.
3. Copying your Databases
Your web site may use one or more databases. These can be created by us and then restored from a backup. These backups can usually be downloaded via your previous provider's web site or requested by sending them an email.
Changing Name Servers is the final step of the process and links your domain name with our servers. The Account Information email provides all the information you need to complete this step.
It is important to note that Name Servers can take up to 48 hours to transfer. During this transfer period your emails may still be delivered to your old provider. You can utilise any Web Mail facilities of your previous provider to check for these emails.
If you opted to transfer your Domain Name registration to us, then this process will begin automatically after your order has been received. This transfer process should not affect the operation of your web site or email and usually takes around 7 days. Your web site will usually be up and running with us days before the Domain Transfer is complete.

Free web hosting service is free, (sometimes) advertisement-supported web hosting, and is often limited when compared to paid hosting.
Shared web hosting service: one's Web site is placed on the same server as many other sites, ranging from a few to hundreds or thousands. Typically, all domains may share a common pool of server resources, such as RAM and the CPU. A shared website may be hosted with a reseller.
Reseller web hosting: allows clients to become web hosts themselves. Resellers could function, for individual domains, under any combination of these listed types of hosting, depending on who they are affiliated with as a provider. Resellers' accounts may vary tremendously in size: they may have their own virtual dedicated server to a colocated server.
Virtual Dedicated Server: dividing a server into virtual servers, where each user feels like they're on their own dedicated server, but they're actually sharing a server with many other users. The users may have root access to their own virtual space. This is also known as a virtual private server or VPS.
Dedicated hosting service: the user gets his or her own Web server and gains full control over it (root access for Linux/administrator access for Windows); however, the user typically does not own the server. Another type of Dedicated hosting is Self-Managed or Unmanaged. This is usually the least expensive for Dedicated plans. The user has full administrative access to the box, which means the client is responsible for the security and maintenance of his own dedicated box.
Managed hosting service: the user gets his or her own Web server but is not allowed full control over it (root access for Linux/administrator access for Windows); however, they are allowed to manage their data via FTP or other remote management tools. The user is disallowed full control so that the provider can guarantee quality of service by not allowing the user to modify the server or potentially create configuration problems. The user typically does not own the server. The server is leased to the client.
Colocation web hosting service: similar to the dedicated web hosting service, but the user owns the colo server; the hosting company provides physical space that the server takes up and takes care of the server. This is the most powerful and expensive type of the web hosting service. In most cases, the colocation provider may provide little to no support directly for their client's machine, providing only the electrical, Internet access, and storage facilities for the server. In most cases for colo, the client would have his own administrator visit the data center on site to do any hardware upgrades or changes.
Clustered hosting: having multiple servers hosting the same content for better resource utilization. Clustered Servers are a perfect solution for high-availability dedicated hosting, or creating a scalable web hosting solution.
Grid hosting : this form of distributed hosting is when a server cluster acts like a grid and is composed of multiple nodes.
