Changing Web hosts was once a very daunting task. There was so 
many little details involved with moving that it was not done very often. 
We have compiled a checklist that will help make your Web host transfer 
a little easier.

The first thing you need to is research the company you will be transferring to.

• What services do they offer?
• Are those services comparable to the services you have 
  now? Note: Never go for a host with less services unless 
  you are sure you will not need them.
• Where are they located?
• If you have a business page that points to your actual physical 
  location, you should try to find a local Web host company. 
  This may or may not make some change on the speed that 
  your Web site is delivered.
• What is their tech support policy?
• Is it free?
• When is it available?
• Do they transfer your domain for you or do you have to do it?

• The size of your Web site.
• Will your new Web host transfer it for you?
• Your directory structure. If you are able to maintain the same 
  directory structure you will not have a problem. If there is a 
  different directory structure you will need to make some modifications 
  to the links to your graphics and documents.

Once you have all the files uploaded you will need to replace the index 
page on your old Web host with a redirection page to your new Web 
host. This is insures that you will not loose any visitors during the process 
of switching Web hosts.

Hopefully this little list will make your transition easier.
