Website Development - Webpage Migration

Webpage Migration is a process of moving a webpage from one host to another. This process is done for various reasons, some of which are −

• You are not satisfied anymore with the support of the Hosting Company

• Prices are cheaper to another hosting

• Your actual hosting plan doesn’t fulfill your needs anymore

• Technology offered is not competitive anymore, etc.

As migration is a process, the following steps are needed to complete it in a minimal downtime of your webpage.

• We must fully backup our webpage as discussed in the previous chapters.

• Upload the backup file in the new hosting.

• Unzip files in the Public folder.

• Import the database file.

• Configure files with the credentials of the new database.

• Point your new domain name servers with your current registrar and wait for the new records to be propagated.
