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 and not lose any business
off your website.
 |
Moving / Transferring from
other Web Host (ZERO DOWNTIME!)
|
 |
|
 |
 |
DO NOT CHANGE YOUR
NAMESERVERS JUST YET NOR DELETE YOUR CURRENT WEB
HOST!
Establish a hosting account with us. You
will then be able to access your new account via
the server's hostname which you will get on your
setup email. Start uploading your website files
to your domain folder through FTP or any other
site publishing software (FrontPage, Dreamweaver,
HomeSite, etc.)
In your welcome email, you
will 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, links, etc...)
Once verified, go to your
registrar and change your "name servers" to
those that are mentioned in your setup email.
Your site will be updated
WORLDWIDE within 24-72 hours. Note:
although you may be able to see your site is on
your new server within possibly 12 hours, please
allow a complete 72 hour cycle before you delete
your old host.
Enjoy your new site @ Host
Department If you have any problems
during the transfer, please have a live chat
session with our support staff and let us know
what you've done so far, and we'll help you
finish it all up! EVEN IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, drop
us a line and let us know that you love the
speed!

If
you already bought a domain name
and want to host with us:
|
 |
|
 |
 |
First step is you
establish a web hosting account with us.
Start by ordering any of our premium web hosting
plans.
After your payment is verfied you will get your
setup email within 30 seconds. In there will be
all your usernames / passwords that grant you
access to the server via your assigned server
hostname. Proceed to upload your files to the
server via the server's hostname.
MAKE SURE YOU PUT
EVERYTHING IN YOUR DOMAIN FOLDER and MAKE SURE
YOU RENAME YOUR HOMEPAGE "index.html" ALL LOWER
CASE. Then use the temporary link
provided in the email to view your site.
Once you have everything
verfied go to the place where you originally
registered your domain (your registrar).
In your setup email(s) there will be a pair of
DNS or Nameservers. Use those DNS to
change them for your domain. If you don't have a
domain control panel (that is where you usally
can do these changes) please email your
registrar or call them and tell them to change
your name servers to those provided to you in
your setup email from us.
After the DNS changes has
been made your domain will now begin to point to
your server with SpyderWebs.net. This
will take 24-72 hours to resolve along the whole
world as every ISP updates their DNS at
different times.
If after 48 hours you can not access your domain
via www.yourdomain.com please do a whois on your
domain
HERE make sure your name servers show up as
those provided in your setup email. If they do
not call your registar right away to get it
corrected!
