Moving / Transferring from
other Web Host (ZERO DOWNTIME!)
DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAMESERVERS JUST YET NOR DELETE YOUR CURRENT
WEB HOST!
Establish 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 a temporary link 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.
Enjoy your new site @ Heavenly Hosts If you have any problems
during the transfer, please have a live chat session with our support
staff and let us know what you've done so far, and we'll help you
finish it all up! EVEN IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, drop us a line and let us
know that you love the speed!
If you already bought a domain
name and want to host with us:
First step is you establish a web hosting account with us. Start
by ordering any of our premium web hosting plans.
After your payment is verfied you will get your setup email within
30 seconds. In there will be all your usernames / passwords that grant
you access to the server via your assigned server hostname. Proceed to
upload your files to the server via the server's hostname. MAKE SURE
YOU PUT EVERYTHING IN YOUR DOMAIN FOLDER and MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR
HOMEPAGE "index.html" ALL LOWER CASE. Then use the temporary link
provided in the email to view your site.
Once you have everything verfied 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 usally 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 Heavenly Hosts. This will take 24-72 hours
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 registar right away to get it corrected!
