Host change

[kostas]

Hi boys,
I plan to change host and i worry about my backlinks. All my hardlink partners use Linkex.
Any advice?

Take your files with you...

You have setup everything on the new host before you change DNS because propagation will took up to 48 hours.

Just rent a new hosting spot, set up everything and copy all your content and mysql to the new host;
then change your DNS.

and your site will have no downtime.

Make sure to pick a host where you can grow without having to go to a new host, that way you ll save a lot of trouble.

Thanks mates. I can 't avoid a few hours of downtime for DNS propagation, but i found that i can replace my empty 404 page with any other page. So i'll put my index page which
contains all my links.

Thanks again.

There is no reason for any downtime.

Your site is on oldhost, served by old-NS.

Your site is also on newhost, served by new-NS.

Depending on propagation, your site is served from either oldhost or newhost, till it is completely newhost...

No downtime at all... The only thing is updates or post could be lost, if they were resolving to oldhost.

Thanks again.
