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 @ DTL Hosting 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 DTL Hosting.
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!
Want to transfer your
domain name to DTL Hosting as your domain registrar?
Please
send us an email giving the details of your request.
If you still have access to the email you received when
you first registered your domain, you may please forward
this to us also.
