“Changing Hosts? Step by Step How to.. Step 3 of 4″
Okay, we decided we needed to change hosts. We had to get prepared and backup both our blog files and our data files.
Now it is time for step three. Begin to familiarize yourself with the new host server. You will have access to a file manager or control panel to be able to monitor, change and update your files. You will also set up your email and user name to access your file transfer protocol software.
You can see from the screen shots below all of the service options to choose from. You can familiarize yourself with each section before you switch over. It is important to be confident with the database section as this is your blog data and post files.
Make sure website name is same. When the new host server sets up your blog address make sure it is the same as you are currently using.
My first set up of my blog was with another host server and they set up my blog as www.bloggernewbie.com/blog vs www.bloggernewbie.com which doesn’t sound like a big deal only it is to those feed readers! You can transfer your subscribers from one RSS feed to another but I am not real confident that it is a smooth transition.
Toodles – Blog Happy!
