Website Hosting Move

The following process must be followed to avoid an interruption to website service.

• Website updates should be put on hold during this transition
• Get a copy of your entire site to us by one of two methods:
  • either provide FTP access to your current location for us to retrieve the entire site
  • or have your current developer save a copy to CD and mail it to us
  • the second approach, CD, is usually more comprehensive because we should be provided with Photoshop files and other files that may not reside on the server but that will be helpful for future design changes
• Allow us two days to establish a duplicate website; we will notify you when complete
• If you have email pop boxes, be sure to check your mail frequently during this process so no mail will be lost
• Obtain the login information to your domain registration or have your current developer or registrar help you change the DNS to ns1.madriveraccess.com and ns2.madriveraccess.com. See our hints on domain transfer if needed.
• Have your current host leave your site up for two weeks after the domain transfer occurs so that the transfer will have adequate time to filter through the internet
