Reasons for transferring a website to a new hosting:
- You have a ready-made website on your local computer. Now you need to place the website on the internet. Only after the website is hosted will it become available to all internet users.
- The website has started to slow down and the loading of pages has become very slow, negatively affecting the site's traffic and image. This can happen for various reasons:
1. The website has become very popular and visited, and the hosting server simply cannot cope with the load.
2. The quality of hosting services has deteriorated. This includes overcrowded servers, inadequate technical support for servers, "neighborhood" with frequently attacked resources against the inactivity of the hosting provider's administrators, and simply unreliable hosting provider servers. - Another popular reason why website owners want to transfer their website to another hosting is lower cost and a greater range of features provided by the new host.
- Another reason for transferring a website to another hosting may be the site owner's desire to more accurately indicate the geographical orientation of the resource. For example, a website intended for users from Ukraine is easier to promote in search engines if it is hosted on a Ukrainian hosting. Moreover, a website hosted on Ukrainian hosting will load much faster for Ukrainian users than the same website hosted on a server in the USA or Russia.
- Ban of the website's IP address (or hosting provider's address range) - blocking the site by search engines in search results (in this case, it is also desirable to change the domain).
- Transferring the website to another domain in combination with one or more of the previous reasons.
Transferring a website to a new hosting is the process of moving a website from one hosting provider to another. This may be necessary if the current hosting does not meet the website owner's requirements or if they have decided to switch to a more reliable and performant hosting.
Transferring a website to a new hosting can come with a number of issues, such as a decrease in traffic and search engine ranking. Therefore, it is important to conduct a preliminary analysis of the website's current state, ensure its readiness for the move, and develop a strategy to minimize possible negative consequences.
The first step is to choose a new hosting provider and register an account with them. Then, all website files need to be transferred to the new hosting, DNS records need to be set up to make the site accessible on the new hosting, and the database needs to be configured if it is being used on the site.
After the website transfer, it is necessary to conduct testing to check that all functions are working correctly. Additionally, it is important to closely monitor the website's traffic and search engine ranking, so that in case of problems, measures can be taken promptly to improve these indicators.
