How to move your website to new host :
Moving website to new host is sometime difficult if you don’t have enough information about transferring things to new server , few things need to be considered while moving your site to new server , things like ..
- Properly backup your site so that you can recover it anytime from the old backup.
- Don’t disturb things on your old server because in case your new server won’t work properly you have the option to get back to the old server , its important .
- Check what kind of site you are running , if your site involve database connection and the database dump then you need to properly backup your database as well and then you have to configure each and everything on the new server same as it was on your old server . Again backup is highly important .
- If you are dealing with only static html pages and no database thing then you can directly transfer your cpanel file manager files to the new cpanel file manager and everything will work fine .
- However if there is a dump attached to your site then you have to properly migrate the dump along with the pages in the file manager .
Remember don’t stick yourself on complete backup option in your cpanel hosting because it won’t work when you will restore your cpanel using the complete cpanal backup . The best method is to take mysql dumps from the phpmyadmin and other files from the file manager . Then configuring the same things on your new server and loading the same files to your cpanel along with the restoration of database using sql dump which you have created in your old hosting account . Things are simpler when followed sequentially and with guidance , I hope it will work for you !
