9 Steps to Successfully Switching to a New Web Hosting Company
Switching to a new web company can be a difficult task, but we have provided you a list of things to do that can make your transition much smoother.
1. Before you sign up for your new web services, make sure that your new plan offers all of the same features that your web site is currently using. Do you have enough disk space? Does your new plan offer enough bandwidth? Is it using the same operating system (Windows or Unix)? Also make sure that your new plan supports any programming languages that you are currently using.
Colocation Web Hosting Report, Released by Hosting.com
Louisville, Kentucky - (The Hosting News) - October 15, 2008 - Global hosting solutions and services firm, Hosting.com, has unveiled the results of a new survey highlighting
2008 colocation industry trends, indicating that improved reliability is the most important reason for colocating.
Hosting.com surveyed over 200 individuals to develop its first annual study on the colocation industry. Topics include virtualization, disaster recovery, green initiatives, and value-add services.
Hosting.com completed the report based on data it collected over a four-week period through surveying its own colocation clients and clients of other colocation providers. Over 200 business and IT executives responded to the survey.
Aaron Hollobaugh, Director of Marketing and Communications for Hosting.com remarked, ''Client engagement is paramount to our success, but the true test is a company's ability to take this information during an economic downturn and continue to provide and develop solutions that are client-centric and relevant to the current marketplace. We are taking these responses and rolling out enhanced value-add services (in December 2008) for our colocation clients.''
Key findings from the survey include: -- 67% of companies choose to colocate their data infrastructure to 'Improve Availability and Reliability,' and 44% expect to see a ROI (Return on Investment) within 24 months. -- 40% of respondents foresee virtualization having an impact on their datacenter space requirements, 21% expect no reduction and 37% are unsure. -- Bandwidth, Security and Redundancy are the three most important factors for most companies when choosing a colocation provider. -- Colocation clients are increasingly interested in managed services provided by colocation providers. 53% of respondents view 'Remote Hands as a Service' as an important value-add service. -- 70% of respondents have a Disaster Recovery plan, but only 46% have a budget to execute on their plans.
The recent economic downturn presents an opportunity for colocation providers to more proactively consult with their clients to help them realize the reduced cost and security of virtualized environments, more effectively estimate their total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investments (ROI) when colocating, and provide the specific services they need from a provider to reduce their internal expenses.
Over 20% of respondents were CEOs or business owners. The demographics of the respondents ranged from companies with as few as two employees to well over 100,000 employees. Diversity was also evident in the revenues of the companies that responded, ranging from under $1 Million to over $100 Billion annually. The 2008 Colocation Industry Trends Report was published in the form of an e-book, and is available for download at Hosting.com.

2. Once you have researched the company and verified that the new web company will support your website, go ahead and sign up for your new web plan.
3. Set up your existing e-mail accounts on your new server. Make note of the new POP3 and SMTP that you will soon need to start using.
4. Upload your website files to your new server. Since your domain name currently points to your old account, you will have to use your new IP address to do this.
5. Test to make sure that your site looks good and functions properly on your new server. Most web companies can provide a link to preview your site before the domain name has been transferred over.
6. Once you are satisfied that your site looks and functions OK, you can go to your registrar and change the DNS settings to point the domain to the new web host’s nameservers. You should be provided this information after signing up for your account.
7. You will see your site on the new server 24-48 hours after you modify the DNS settings. Your e-mail will also start going to your new account at this time.
8. Modify your e-mail client with your new POP3 and SMTP e-mail settings.
9. Verify that your new website is working OK. Make sure that all of the files were loaded properly and that all scripts are running fine.
You have now successfully switched to a new cheap web company!
