People often switch <\/span>web host providers <\/b>for better deals and features. For instance, they could get lesser fees for more quality services, receive <\/span>better customer support or enjoy superior speed and bandwidth. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking of moving your website to a new web host and have not decided on a  provider, <\/span>Scala Hosting<\/span><\/a> provides all the tools you need to grow your business and keep your customers happy.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve made the switch and are wondering <\/span>how to transfer your website to ScalaHosting<\/b>, this article takes you through step-by-step instructions on how to get it done.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move Your Website Files<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step to moving your website is to download the website files to your local computer. Before that, take a screenshot of all your pages. It helps you <\/span>know the changes to fix should something go wrong<\/b> while moving the files to the new host. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, it would help if you didn\u2019t mess around with the files after downloading them. It could <\/span>wreck your site structure and designs<\/b>. To download your file safely, log in to your <\/span>website\u2019s control panel, locate the FTP tool and create an account<\/b> (if you don\u2019t have any), granting yourself access to the root directory (<\/span>public_html<\/span><\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to <\/span>File<\/b> > <\/span>Site Manage<\/b>r, and click <\/span>New Site.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n
