The first thing that must be done when you need to change your web hosting company is to have copies for everything concerning your website and to check whether the archives to the content on your website are well done. Archiving you website’s content is not a task that should be completed only when you move to a new web hosting company. This must be done every once in a while because that way you will avoid losing the information in case problems like hardware failure occur. This is a simple way to maintain the integrity of your website and will make it easier for you to change your actual web hosting company.
After these tasks are done you can start searching for a new web hosting company. The most important thing when you do that is to assure that the new company can provide you hosting packages that are at least as good as the ones provided by the old web hosting company or better. You do not need to move to a service that offers you less than what you already have. Then, find something to suit your new needs that the old web hosting company could not anymore. You can use different search utilities to see whether a web service can offer you the customer support that you need and if it can fulfill your new requirements.
After you pick a new web hosting company you should to upload the archive as was described above. When all the files are transferred to the new service they will provide you a new IP and then you have to transfer you domain name to the new web hosting company. This transfer requires a period of time between 1-2 days. This is why you should still keep your old site in this period. In all this time you have to do different experiments to verify if the site works as needed. This means that you must keep both your old service and the new web hosting for some time.
The moment when you leave your old service should be the moment when you stop receiving e-mails on the old account. Until that moment you have to verify all the e-mails that come to both your old and your new account. As you can see, transfering websites to a new web hosting company does not imply too many troubles if you consider each step. If you wait and see how your new site is during the transfer and perform some tests you will move it to a new web hosting company without having problems.
