How to switch your web host

There’s so many reason you want to change or switch your web host. It could be you are not satisfied with your present web host performance. It could be you are not happy with the services that your web host company provides. The response time for technical support or customer service is too long. Or you have found a less price solution for your website. And finally you make decision to change web host. And want to do it by yourself.

Sure every website has files where placed and saved at your web host.
And now you need to transfer all those file from old web host to new web host.
The question is:
How to change your web host without loosing your file?

Well you can do this by through this way:
To transfer your web pages files is to copy the source code by right clicking on the page as you see it when you visit the site and select ’view/source’. It will come up on Notepad. Select ’file/save as’ and save to a place of your choice as an HTML file. To do this, at the bottom of the box just before you save it, it will say ’.txt’. Change the drop menu to ’all files’ and then change the ’.txt’ at the end of the name you’re saving it as to ’.html’, then save it. And now you have a complete page ready to load to wherever you want.
If you have a less pages say 10 pages it is easy to do this with this way but if you have a lot of pages you may need takes more time.

Another way to transfer your file completely you can use FTP utility to download all files to your computer from your web host. If you are using Dreamweaver, use the GET command to copy all your files. If you are using Frontpage, use the import feature to make a complete copy of the old web site.

Contact the domain name registrar this is the place where you registered your domain name and change Domain Name Server (DNS) or Name Server information to your new hosts DNS information. Your site is going to downtime while your DNS record is being changed through the world’s WHOIS servers. It will takes time for hours to waiting the process done.
You need to maintain any existing services set up on your old domain name such as email forwarding, web pointing and website hosting until the transfer is complete to ensure continuity of your service. You can check the progress of your domain name transfer by using a Domain Name Search feature such as Whois.net. Once the transfer is completely You can see the details change from your previous Host to your New Host

When you are sure your domain name has been transferred, upload the files to your new Web
Host.Using FTP utility or dreamweaver or frontpage software.

What about security and privacy?
When your business grows will the provider be able to handle your needs?
What kind of website tools, control panel, and user interface are offered?
Is support for e-commerce, domain name registration included?

The important think is Reliability in terms of uptime and performance Make sure that the companies you are evaluating have 100% (or close to) uptime, fast and consistent performance.

Make sure that high security and privacy features are included. Spam and virus filtering must be part of the basic service. Check out where the company is located. This may affect performance and technical support capabilities. Security and privacy are important especially if you going to use your website for a business. .

How to determine The File Size of Your Web Site?

If I am not a mistake actually There’s a standardization how to measure the file sizes. All files that contain image, content, web pages etc are measured in bytes or kilobytes.

Usually we find a words “ bytes “on floppy disk, hard disk, bandwidth, data transfer, file size etc and As I posted before Disk space is the amount of bytes space to keep your file at your site. While Data transfer or usually we call this bandwidth is the amount of bytes transferred from your site to visitors when they browse and visit your site.
Most floppy disks hold around 1.4 megabytes of information.
You will find also various sizes of information on USD flash disk, hard disk, etc where most of these stuff measured start with big bytes usually we call Giga bytes.Sure most of all related with computer and internet stuff including your website.

And the question is what byte is?
I will explain for those who did not know about byte.

First you need to understand how file size is measured.
The smallest unit on a computer is a bit.
One bit is one electronic on or off pulse.

And then if 8 bits strung together make one byte.
One byte of information can put a letter such as D on your monitor.
If you put 1024 bytes together and then you have one unit of information called a kilobyte.
If you Put 1024 kilobytes together and you have a megabyte. (Most floppy disks hold around 1.4 megabytes of information).
If you Put 1024 megabyte together and you have a Gigabyte. (Most hard disks hold various size gigabytes of information).
And so on

Back to the question how to determine The File Size of Your Web Site?
It is a simple to determine your total site file size just right click on the root folder where your web site is hosted you will find an file size information this will not only give you the total site size but also how many files and folders are contained in your site.
And now I think you want to know The File Size of Your Web Site.Just check it out.

How to check your web host technical support

Most web hosting provider comes with Technical support and usually it is one of service package that web hosting company offer. And you see their advertise technical support function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week), all year around

You will be surprised at how often things go wrong at the most inconvenient of times such as your site shutdown suddenly.
Especially you have a good traffic or you run biz website.If your site shutdown means you loose a potential buyer or other think loose google adsense ads being displayed briefly you loose your money during inconvenient of times.

That’s why you want to know what the reason and want the problem fix and addressed immediately.

What kind of customer service and technical support do you want?

I want to know does its technical support function 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 360 days all year around.I will not accept a host which does not have staff working on weekends or public holidays. Because a host advertises that it has 24/7 support does not necessarily mean that it really has that kind of support.

You can Test the water by calling at midnight or Test them out by emailing at midnight and on Saturday nights, Sunday mornings, public holiday etc. Check out how long they take to respond your call or email. And also you need to see if they are technically competent. And also if there’s problem you can also log down what problem is and how many times that needed to fix the problem.

Sure you need a solid technical support to back up your website and to back up your business and you would not want to buy web Host provider Company that run by people who only know how to sell and not fix problems.

Fill and launch your website

After you decide what your website do and chose your website name and find reliable hosting provider and all preparation was done. And now you ready to Fill and launch your website. You need software to create and build a website.

I usually use Microsoft FrontPage or others software out there. These software packages you can find for free at internet just go to google.com by searching with keyword “ free website builder” , “ free website creator “ “free website software “or you can try other key words that related with website and software.

You can go also and find free software that related with website build too at download.com with keyword the same as above.

Based on my experienced actually there’s a lot hosting company that offer website builder software include in their service. It just make easy for you to make a basic website and fast. if I am not mistake we call “fastastico” and seem it is almost there on every web host provider as a part of their service.

To test the water try to make one pages as start and once you feel comfortable you can upload and launch your content that you prepared before.
