The
only requirement is that you DO NOT
DELETE your current Web hosting
account until your new one with us
is setup. Follow the steps below to
ensure ZERO downtime.

Moving /
Transferring from
other Web Host to
Sheer Web Host
|
|
|

DO NOT CHANGE
YOUR NAMESERVERS JUST YET, NOR DELETE
YOUR CURRENT WEB HOST ACCOUNT!
Establish a hosting account with us.
You'll then be able to
access your new account using the
info you'll get in your setup e-mail. Start uploading
your files to your domain
folder through FTP or any other site
publishing software (FrontPage,
Dreamweaver, HomeSite, etc.).
If moving Cart32, export your
cart settings and e-mail the export
file to us.
In your welcome e-mail,
you'll 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, shopping cart, links, etc...)
Once verified,
go to your registrar and change your
name servers/DNS to the ones mentioned in your setup e-mail.
Your site will
be updated WORLDWIDE within 24 to 72
hours. Note: although you may
be able to see your site on your
new server within 12 hours or less,
please allow a complete 72-hour
cycle before you delete your old
host.
Enjoy your new
site @ Sheer Web Host. If you
have any problems during the
transfer, please submit a support
ticket from your control panel. Let us know what you've done so far,
and we'll help you finish it up. And
if you do it all yourself, drop us a
line and let us know if you love the
speed ...

You bought a
new domain name
and want to host
with us:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Establish a Web hosting account
with us.
After your payment is verified, you
should get your setup e-mail very
soon. In there will be all the
usernames / passwords that give you
access to the server. Proceed to
upload your files to
YOUR DOMAIN FOLDER
and MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR
HOMEPAGE "index.html" (all
lower case).
Then use the temporary link provided
in the e-mail to view your site.
Once everything
is working, go to the site
where you registered your
domain (your registrar).
In your setup e-mail(s) there will be
a pair of DNS or Nameservers.
Change your domain's nameservers to those DNS. If you don't have a
domain control panel (that is where
you usually do these changes)
please e-mail your registrar or call
them and tell them to change your
name servers to the ones in your setup e-mail from us.
After the DNS
changes has been made, your domain
will now begin to point to your
server with Sheer Web.
This will take 24 to 72 hours to
resolve along the whole world, as
every ISP updates their DNS at
different times.
If after 48 hours you can't access
your domain via www.yourdomain.com,
please do a whois on your domain
HERE and make sure your name servers
show up as those provided in your
setup e-mail. If not, call your
registrar right away to have it
corrected.
