Uk Website Hosting
There are times where a webmaster is faced with the decision to change their web hosting service due to unavoidable issues
. This process can sometimes be difficult when a user needs to learn how to use a new control panel and familiarize themselves with the new interface. Transferring from one provider to another will also cause your website to stop for a moment and it is best if you can keep this time as short as possible. With the Plesk control panel, users will be able to take control if they decide to change host. If both your new and old provider provides Plesk, your transition will be a breeze.
The most common problem when changing provider is the problem with the loss of data. This problem occurs because of the TTL (Time to Live). The TTL is not instant and cause data to be loss. However, this problem can be avoided if you change a few settings at least 24 hours before you relocate your website. To do this, you need to log into your Plesk account and select the domain. Then, select the DNS settings for the domains that you want to transfer. Then, select the SOA record and change the Default TTL to 900 seconds or 15 minutes. Once you have done that, click SET to complete the process. Doing this will let you minimize the downtime and data loss during your transition.
Then, there is the step of restoring your
UK website hosting backup. After one day, log into your Plesk again and locate the Backup Manager. Then, select the Personal FTP repository settings. Then, you will be required to enter some details and then type in httpdocs in the directory for the backup fields. Once you have done that, finish the process by clicking OK to activate the changes.
Next, return to the backup manager and create a backup name. Then, select Personal FTP repository and then select the domain configuration and content. In there, you will be required to select Backup. Once you click that, the backup process will begin and it will take a few minutes to complete the process. The bigger your website is, the longer it will take. After it is done, you can download it via the backup module.
To complete the whole process, you will need to contact you new provider and inform them that you need to restore the backup of your old website. What you need to do is to provide them with the name of the directory and request help from them to restore you domain using the backup file. Then, they will be able to complete the process. Once everything is done, you new website will run and be just the same like when it si with the old web hosting.
Choosing a
UK website hosting provider is the most important part in your online business empire journey. When a bad decision is made, it can slow down the growth of your business. A small detail like email feature could well be the problem for you if you overlooked this issue. There are too many providers out there that promise you the world of features but most fail to deliver. In most cases, you will only find out after you sign a contract with them.
The first thing that you will find is the appealing cheap prices like $9 a month. The truth is, you might need to pay up to $30 a month if you want features to make your website work the way you like. To prevent this from happening, always try a hosting that comes with a trial period. Some may provide up to 30 days of trial while other may provide shorter periods.
Another common setback that users face with their UK website hosting plans is the complicated template that confuses the website visitors causing it to be not user-friendly at all. Some may provide friendly interface for the users but the more important part is to have a user friendly looking website that is easy to for the visitors to navigate around. In order to be easy for the visitors, website should have fonts with colours that go easy on the eyes of the visitor as well as an easy navigation flow so them they can easily find items in the website. Popular links should be easily found on the homepage with easy to understand signs or logos describing them.
Then, there is the poor service or support that the UK website hosting company provides. Most webmasters will require the support from their company because they are the only ones who can help when a problem comes up. When looking for a hosting, make sure that they have support via email, chat and phone. For those who do not have the patience to wait for an email which takes a day or two, make sure you get a company that provides support via phone.
