Sometimes website owners face a problem: the current hosting provider ceases to suit them. For example, there are frequent failures in work or difficulties arise with the work of technical support. In such cases, webmasters are thinking about changing the hosting provider and the question arises before them: how to transfer their sites to another hosting?

Method 1. Request to transfer the site to technical support

The first and easiest way is to transfer your projects to another hosting with the help of technical support. For example, in "MyTruehost" you can submit a request to transfer sites to the $1 Hosting Canada, and support specialists will do it absolutely free of charge. Also, when transferring websites from another hosting provider, customers receive a month of hosting at your chosen tariff as a gift. The promotion applies to all current tariffs, except for the rental of dedicated servers. To take advantage of the offer, you need to leave a request in the support service. It works around the clock through a ticket system.

Method 2. Self-transfer of sites

The second option is to transfer your sites to another hosting yourself. Below we will give detailed instructions on how to transfer your projects to virtual hosting.

Step #1. First you need to register and pay for 1 Dollar Hosting UK services. A detailed description of the tariffs can be found on the website hosting page. All the necessary details for setting up the site will be sent to the email address specified during registration.

Step #2. In the control panel, add in turn all the sites that you want to migrate. To do this, select "Sites" > "Add a registered domain to hosting" (or the "Register a new domain" button).

Step #3. Go to the "Databases" section and create the required number of databases for your site. Then go to phpMyAdmin by clicking the appropriate icon next to your database and import a dump of your databases from the old hosting.

Step #4. Log in to FTP using any FTP client and data from the registration letter, or the built-in File manager in the "Sites" menu and upload all files and folders of your site to the /httpdocs directory.

Step #5. Do not forget to enter new values for connecting to databases in the configuration files of scripts using MySQL databases.

Step #6. You can test the operation of the site in a new location by clicking on the "Preview" link, which is located in the control panel in the "Sites" section.

Step #7. After making sure that the site is working correctly, change the NS of all your domains to ours:

ns1.mytruehost.com

ns2. mytruehost.com

ns3. mytruehost.com

ns4. mytruehost.com

If you registered the domain yourself, you can change the NS servers in the domain control panel. If your domain was registered by another hosting company, then you should ask them to change the NS servers of your domain. When registering a domain with us, changing NS servers is not required and don’t forget about Unlimited Reseller Hosting Australia. After changing the NS servers, some time should pass during which DNS updates occur. It usually takes about a day.

How to submit a request to technical support

The transfer is carried out on request through the "Support" section of the control panel indicating access (FTP/ SSH, MySQL) to a third-party hosting. The transfer is carried out during the day or at the time specified by the client. Upon completion of the transfer, you will be notified to the email address specified in the application.

Conclusion

Thus, transferring sites to another hosting is a simple process, but it requires certain skills. To protect yourself and your projects, we recommend that you contact technical support for this service.
