Transfer to a new Web Host!
March 23rd, 2014
I currently have a reseller account with Hostgator but the problem is the server is in US and my clients are based in UK so there is a bit of lag between them and the server. I am getting 200ms latency when I ping the server.
I was thinking of moving to 1and1.co.uk but I am going to loose all my clients email address etc when I transfer! Is there anyway to be able to backup there email passwords and accounts to transfer over? Or will I have to reset all there passwords?
I just pinged 1and1.co.uk and its 60ms however when I ping multiplay.co.uk I get 12ms :S Anyone know any other fast UK hosts?
Thanks
I hope that for the sake of your clients that you’re not hosting email on shared or reseller hosting.
Yes on a reseller account why whats so bad about that?
Well one thing, you have no control over the mail server and second they will limit the outgoing mail queue so you can only send a limited amount of email in the set period. If you don’t have a lot of clients consider switching to Google Apps Free.
I have used Google Apps for my own emails, I will look into doing it for my clients aswel! thanks for the tip.
you can try this but i don’t if it’s going to work
in cpenal go to backup and the click on full backup – (is when you move to a different host) or you can click on email forwarder
