Transer your site to Nethosts

The only requirement is that you do not delete your current web hosting account until your new one with us is setup. Follow the steps below to ensure ZERO downtime and not lose any business off your website.

Moving / Transferring from other Web Host

DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAMESERVERS JUST YET NOR DELETE YOUR CURRENT WEB HOST!

a hosting account with us. You will then be able to access your new account via the server's hostname which you will get on your setup email. Start uploading your website files to your domain folder through FTP or any other site publishing software (FrontPage, Dreamweaver, HomeSite, etc.)

In your welcome email, you will get all the information to access your NEW web site before anything goes live. Verify that everything is working on your NEW site (graphics, web pages, links, etc...)

Once verified, go to your registrar and change your "name servers" to those that are mentioned in your setup email.

Your site will be updated WORLDWIDE within 24-72 hours. Note: although you may be able to see your site is on your new server within possibly 12 hours, please allow a complete 72 hour cycle before you delete your old host.

If you have any problems during the transfer, please contact our support staff and we'll help you transfer everything.

Already got a domain and want to move to Us

a hosting account with us. After your payment is verified you will get your setup email. In there will be all your usernames / passwords that you require. Proceed to upload your files to the server via the server's hostname. Then use the temporary link provided in the email to view your site.

Once you have everything verified go to the place where you originally registered your domain (your registrar).

In your setup email(s) there will be a pair of DNS or Nameservers. Use those DNS to change them for your domain. If you don't have a domain control panel (that is where you usually can do these changes) please email your registrar or call them and tell them to change your name servers to those provided to you in your setup email from us.

After the DNS changes has been made your domain will now begin to point to your server with Nethosts. This will take 24-72 hours (although in a lot of cases, this can be so much quicker) to resolve along the whole world as every ISP updates their DNS at different times.

If after 48 hours you can not access your domain via www.yourdomain.com please do a whois on your domain HERE make sure your name servers show up as those provided in your setup email. If they do not call your registrar right away to get it corrected!

If you have any problems during the transfer, please contact our support staff and we'll help you transfer everything.
