[H937]How To Change Web Page

by Archie Lubman, Arc

I)Price

How do you know if you overpay for web hosting? You can compare your web hosting package to web hosting deals from Web Host Checklist at www.webhostchecklist.com/tophosts.html . These are some of the best web hosting packages available. If your web host is similar in terms of price and features, then you are fine. Otherwise, you are paying too much.

II)Technical support

Sometimes all of us experience web site problems: pages that are slow to open, can't log in into ftp site, certain software package doesn't work… Once a problem occurs, we need competent technical support that can resolve the issue as fast as possible. In my opinion, a good technical support should fix a problem within 48 hours.

III)Software issues

Software related problems are some of the most frustrating. For example, you want to create web pages using certain programming language, but your web hosting service doesn't support software. May be your web site pages aren't displayed correctly because of problems with your web host. You have only two choices when faced with software problems. You can either use programs supported by your web host or change web hosting company.

There is no exact formula on whether to switch web hosting company. Each situation is unique. For example, your web hosting cost is higher than average but customer service and software support are excellent. Or let's say that technical support is quiet slow but problems are very rare.

What would you do in above situations? Should you stay or go?

I believe your decision depends on a total picture. If you are satisfied with an overall combination of the price, technical and software support, you should stay. Otherwise, it is time to find a new web hosting company.

Your web hosting company may not be able to keep up with the speed your business is growing, or your website may not be up to par with meeting your needs. In any case, the best solution to this conundrum is to switch web hosting companies. Before you change your site provider, take the necessary steps prior to the change to ensure that it will be easy, seamless and worry free.

Switching to a new web hosting company will go smoother if you create and follow a detailed plan, just like with other sorts of renovation undertakings. In order to ensure a smooth and efficient transfer from one web hosting company to another make sure you give yourself plenty of time to understand, complete and then test each step of the process.

This type of transition will generally require three to four weeks of planning until your new site is up and running. After determing through careful research, you can activate your business site usually within 24-48 hours.

The first, and most important, step at this stage is to ensure you do a secure and complete backup of all the files on your current web hosting provider's site regardless of whether or not you have the files stored on a local computer. Backups are like insurance, you never appreciate having them until a catastrophe strikes. So, even though it may be tempting to eliminate this step, you may live to regret it.

It is strongly recommended that you have backup copies of script, database and server log files, as well as the HTML files. The mirrors the one on your web server makes downloading files easier and the transition is easy to transfer.

You are ready to upload your files to the new server after you receive confirmation from your new web hosing company that your file transfer protocol precedures are operational and your account has been activated.

It is easiest to upload information to a new site by saving files somewhere familiar.

Once you have finished the previous steps, the new web site can be tested to make sure every thing operates as it should.

When everything is flawless and working smoothly you are prepared to change your old Domain Name Server (DNS)r to the one that has been provided to you by the current web hosting company. All that you must do now is relax and wait for the hits to begin.
