Hi,
I have a domain and now I want to switch to a different host; how will I do the same? I want to change my hosting company. Please advise on the appropriate procedure.

Do you mean that you want to transfer an old site to a new host? Make sure to have a complete backup of the DB and site files before doing the move.

Hello,
Firstly, knowing this is a different process than switching domains is essential. First, you need to contact your old hosting company and request a full manual backup of your website. After this is completed, the old hosting company will delete your account, and you can then create a new account with the new hosting company.

Your new host should handle that for you, with your cPanel information they can transfer your website to their server.

Choose a new host who can meet your needs. You need a backup for your website. Move your database and files, then set up the new hosting environment. the brand-new web host for your site. Reset the DNS configuration. Verify any issues and address them. The prior hosting account should be closed.
