How to move your website to another hosting?

The simplest way to move your website to our hosting is to use free website migration service done by WebGuard specialists.

If you have an experience of installing website to server, you will most likely be able to move website from old hosting on your own.

First thing you need to do is to prepare website archive and databases for transfer. Depending on the configuration of server you're moving from, the procedure of making an archive may differ so you may need to contact tech support of hosting provider you're moving website from for specifications.

If you haven't created users yet, it will be useful to create a default user template wtih standard settings:

Name - Default
SSI - checked
PHP as Apache module - checked
PHP in safe_mode - not checked
Disk - at your discretion
WWW domains - 1
PHP processing - PHP as Apache module
All other parameters may be set to max values

Now you will need to make a user in your website hosting panel. To do that log in to hosting control panel as administrator (login name wgNNNN). If you have createad a user template, you will only need to fill in first page while creating a new user. It is important to enter which template you're using, website address and ip-address(pick one from the list of available).
After creating a user exit control panel and reenter as the new user (using login and password of user you've just created). You will be using the same login and password for SFTP access to your site.
Upload your website data via SFTP to www/website_address folder.
While the files are being uploaded, enter "Databases" section in hosting control panel and create a new database and a user for her. Remember database user password. Do notice that as the base is created its name will have SFTP login as a prefix. You will be able to see full name if the base after it is created. MySQL database user name is constructed in the same way.
Follow PHPMyAdmin link in hosting panel and enter data you've saved while creating new database. Once you're authorized, select your new base on the left and enter "Import" section. There you'll be able to import database dump from your site archive (usually it's a file with .sql extension).
Now you'll need to enter database connection parameters to your website's CMS configuration file. That would be, for example, configuration.php for Joomal, wp-config.php for Wordpress. These files can be opened in any text editor.
Depending on your CMS you may need to specify full path to website data on server in configuration file. You can make full path the pattern /var/www/sftp-login/data/www/site-address if you substitute sftp-login and site-address for your data.

The setup is complete and new you only need to test your site before changing NS servers.

After successful test you can set our NS servers to be used your domain.

ns1.webguard.pro and ns2.webguard.pro

We wish you sucess in your work!
