Migration Web Hosting Tips


Almost all day I spend my online time to a hosting migration. Programming and Internet blogs, I moved from foreign countries hosting service providers (crocodile logo, hosting can be free from classmates), led to a hosting service provider Indonesia (the homepage of the popular Web site with lots of ghost images).

There are some things that make me a little repentance, and maybe it should be noted if you want to move / migrate web hosting. To limit this time my little discussion relating to the installation of WordPress.

Here I try to list a variety of tips to keep in mind when it wants to hosting migration:

* Problem 1: the old WordPress Versions
I had to upload their own scripts WordPress 2.9.1. Lhoh why upload? existing rather than new hosting cPanel & Fantastico? Yes, there is, unfortunately, it's just there Fantastico WP 2.8.6, I asked why not upgrade to a provider, he says it from Fantasticonya so.
Solution: Upload own. Important points is that, if we want our blog instantly accessible on the root site (example: http://tegar.web.id/) and not on the folder under it (eg: http://tegar.web.id/blog/) hence better script file that we downloaded from Wordpress.org extracted first at the local computer, then dizip anymore, but directly on the contents of the folder "wordpress". This new file should be uploaded, so no need to move the contents of the folder when it is extracted on the server.
* Problem 2: DNS Propagation / DNS Resolve
Nameserver changes usually cause a problem DNS Propagation, namely the process of refreshing the cache on your ISP internet connection.
This is also my experience after changing the Name Server through PANDI website, I did a network ping repeatedly to the domain address tegar.web.id to ensure (at least) has changed the IP Address, but it takes a bit longer for DNS to recognize TelkomSpeedy new nameserver. Although replacement Nameserver been successful, but still sometimes I opened my old hosting.
Solution: Use webproxy. What else can be done while waiting for resolving DNS smoothly? I install WordPress using one of the hidemyass.com webproxy.
* Problem 3: Plugin backups
Because the export tool found not participate WordPress 2.8.6 backup plugins settings, it is necessary to manually backup.
Solution: in this case you should ask for help who have hosting.
