As a web designer and developer, HostMonster is by far my favorite web host. The main reason for this, is that HostMonster has a perfect balance of price, quality, and features. Actually Hostmonster has pretty much every feature you could possibly need for a small to medium sized business or individual website. They have a great backend control panel, called cPanel, which really makes it easy to maintain your website. With Hostmonster, you can easily add other domains to your web hosting account, check and set up your email accounts, manage FTP information, browse website statistics, and install 3rd party software like WordPress or Drupal.

As I mentioned before, price is another reason why I like Hostmonster. They are affordably priced around $5.95 each month. This is a pretty good price, especially considering the performance, features, and great support that HostMonster provides. HostMonster also does not raise the price on you after your first year like many other web hosting companies do.

For those of you that are new to Hosting, support is always a good feature to have and Hostmonster has great support. Their support team is always very friendly and helpful. I’ve called them several times (primarily for help on how to migrate WordPress SQL databases over) and they were very helpful. One of the times, the support team actually did it for me! I was really amazed at that as not many hosting companies would do that. However you most likely wont even need to contact their support as their hosting options are really easy to figure out.

So those are the reasons I really love HostMonster. I wanted to add this article to your website as Hostmonster is often underrated.

This is a beginners guide to transferring your existing website that is hosted with your current web hosting provider to a new web hosting company. This is a common task that I get a lot of requests on how to do. This may seem difficult at first to the average user, but the steps in transferring are quite easy. I suppose it does vary, depending on what web host you have. Most likely, you can always call your current web hosting provider and ask them for help on transferring. However, if your looking to transfer your website yourself, you can do it easily by reading this article.

Step 1) Purchase a second hosting account. Go to the new web hosting company  you would like and purchase a hosting plan. We suggest that you view our recommended web hosts on our home page. Also remember not to purchase an additional domain. Many times when you’re looking to buy a web hosting plan, they try to sell you a domain as well. But since you are transferring, you probably already have a domain.

Step 2) Use a FTP program such as FileZilla to copy all of your website’s files to your local computer.

Step 3) Assign your current domain name to your new web hosting plan. Again  each Hosting company is different. HostMonster makes it really easy to do. You simply login to your cPanel control panel and click on “domain manager”. Then you can select the “Transfer a new domain to your account” option. Again each webhost will be slightly different, but they should all have the same principal.

Step4) You may have to login to your domain registrars control panel and change the DNS settings of your domain to that of your new web host.

step 5) Now that your domain name should be linked with your new webhosting account, you can now upload the website files on your computer to your new hosting account using the FTP program you used in step 2.

And now you’re done! It’s fairly simple once you do it and get the hang of it. It should probably take you about 20 minutes to figure out. However, you should expect to wait at least 24 hours for your hosting company to transfer the domain over to the new one. Hope you find this guide helpful. Again, you can always call your current web hosting provider for help on this if you get stuck.
