Choose hosting based on what your website needs today and how it may grow. Start with the number of websites, the CMS requirements, storage and databases your project uses.
Check the plan limits
- Count your websites and databases.
- Estimate the space needed for files, media and email.
- Check that the plan supports your CMS and software versions.
- Review backups, SSL and the support terms.
Compare limits alongside the price. Avoid paying for resources you do not need, while leaving sensible room for new content and mailboxes.
Moving an existing website
Before changing providers, back up both website files and the database. Upload the copy, test important pages and forms, then update DNS records. Keep the previous service available until the new copy has been checked.
