The problem of moving on other hosting can arise for various reasons. It is very important to know how it is correct to make moving not to lose either files of the website, or base at which the web resource works.
It is required to you
- - information for connection from old a hosting of provider;
- - information for connection to new a hosting to provider;
- - information for a login to the control panel of the logger of the domain;
- - all files of the website and base at which the website works.
Instruction
1. In the course of transfer the website will be unavailable some time. It should be minimized, however not do without it. It is necessary to make so that none of potential visitors of the website suffered because of it. For this purpose it is possible just to turn off access to the website means of a management system at which the web resource works.
2. Download to yourself on the computer all files of the website. To learn what specifically files need to be downloaded, it is necessary to understand from what folder they undertake. This information should contain in the control panel of a hosting from which moving is made. If there is no such information, it is necessary to ask a question to the representative of technical support service. Normal names of folders which contain files of the website - www or httpdocs however the folder can be named and in a different way.
3. If the website uses the database, then it is necessary to copy it too. For this purpose it is necessary to come into a control facility databases. Normally it is phpMyAdmin. Using the functionality provided by this script it is necessary to copy structure and contents of all tables. As a result of such operation the text file which will be imported subsequently on a hosting where moving is made should turn out.
4. If the domain 2 levels is used, then it is necessary to change records in the panel of the logger of the domain. The technical support of a hosting where moving is made, should provide information on the IP address and the used NS servers. It is recommended to change NS servers on the domain, however simple prescription of the IP address sometimes helps with A-record. It must be kept in mind that change of NS servers on the domain can entail unavailability of the website for a while from 2-3 hours to 2-3 days.
5. Using information which is provided new a hosting by provider, load all files of the website, using FTP. If the database is not created, then create it and import all tables exported from the previous hosting there.
6. Almost for certain on a new hosting login credentials both for FTP, and for databases will change. It is necessary to reflect this change in configuration files of a management system of the website, having registered new login credentials in appropriate places.
7. The website already should work at this stage from a new hosting. If it not so, then, most likely, the lack of the working website is connected with change of records in the control panel of the logger of the domain. If the website opens, but errors about impossibility of record or opening of some file are displayed, then it is necessary to correct access rights. It is possible to make it, using the FTP client.
