Migrating to a VPS
Moving to a VPS from shared hosting or another provider is a common step as your website grows. With a little planning, the switch can be smooth and low-risk.
The general process is:
- Set up your VPS with the operating system and software your sites need.
- Copy your website files, databases and email across.
- Test everything on the VPS before going live.
- Update your domain's DNS to point to the VPS IP address.
Pointing DNS last means visitors keep seeing your old site until the new one is ready, avoiding downtime. Keep the old hosting active until you are sure the VPS is working correctly.
