Moving Your Website


How to transfer your website to Sheer Web Host with little or no downtime!

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.
