Hosting Transfer Process
Ensure ZERO downtime in
your host transfer!
Yes, it can be done!
The only requirement is that you don't delete your current host until
your new one is setup (as guided below). Follow these steps to ensure
ZERO downtime and not lose any business off of your web site.
-
DO NOT CHANGE YOUR
NAMESERVERS JUST YET NOR DELETE YOUR CURRENT WEB HOST! (it had to be
redundant for a while)
-
Establish a hosting
account with us. You'll then be able to access your new account
via the server IP address. Once you do, you'll be given all of
your account information in a spiffy email. Follow the directions
in that email to upload all of your files to your new Server.
-
In your welcome
email, you'll get a TEMP link to access your NEW web site Before
anything is 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 Activation email (can you tell that your welcome email
is loaded with goodies).
-
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.
If you have any problems during the transfer, please
contact us, letting 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.
Already have a
domain?
Just want to host with us?
You already have a
domain but no hosting, not a problem. Follow the steps below and you
will be with InterHAND easily:
-
First step is you
establish a hosting account with us. Click on the hosting button on the
top left side and select your plan.
-
After your payment is
verified, you will get an email stating Account Activation data.
In there will be all your usernames / passwords that grant you access to
the server via an IP. Proceed to upload your files to the server
via the IP. MAKE SURE YOU PUT EVERYTHING IN THE PUBLIC_HTML FOLDER
and MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR HOMEPAGE «index.html» ALL LOWER CASE.
Then use the temp link provided in the email to view your site.
-
Once you have
everything verified, go to the place where you originally registered
your domain aka your registrar.
-
In your activation
email there will be a pair of DNS aka 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 activation email
-
After the DNS changes
are made your domain will now begin to point to your server with
InterHAND. 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.domain.com please do a whois
on your domain HERE make sure
your name servers show up as those provided in your email. If they
do not call your registrar and yell at them!
Have a domain and
want to move it to us?
-
You already have a
domain that you registered somewhere else and you want to move the
domain itself physically to us and get hosting to keep everything in on
place?
-
First step is you go
to our domains website HERE and open
an account to login into the domain portal.
-
Once you contact us
and your payment has been received, you can start the transference.
-
Let us know the
domain you want to transfer to us.
-
Please make sure the
admin contact email is an active email because an email will be sent to
this email to approve the transfer. You can find out that email
this is by doing a WHOIS HERE
If that is not a current email please go to where you registered the
domain and update it.
-
You ask, the domain
still has 6 months or 2 years left before it expires, will I lose those?
The answer is NO you will not, when you do this transfer it will add one
year on TOP of the current expiration date! So just add one year
to when it expires now!
-
Once you have
processed this look out for an email, approve it and just wait it out
about 24-48 hours for the whole process to occur, if you already
approved the email and you login into your domain control panel and you
see the process is not complete, contact your registrar and ask them why
they haven't released it.
-
Meanwhile all this is
happening feel free to buy extra services and upload all your files to
the server. Remember once you order hosting you have immediate access to
the server via the server IP.
-
If you don't want to
move your domain to us, you don't have to. All you have to do is modify
your DNS follow the steps above. But remember that your domain
will expire at some point so it is wiser to add years to the domain and
not wait until the last minute and risk losing your domain!
