Reliability is a constant feature that you must always monitor with your web hosting company. Although your website is working perfectly fine at the moment, there are always possibilities that an error will occur at any moment.

Problems may arise from many areas that will affect the performance of you website. These problems are problems like increasing downtime, lack of response to support enquiries, lack of attention regarding MySQL script installation, limited bandwidth, and limited storage space and so on. These are all the issues that will affect the performance of a website. All these years after the introduction of internet, these problems are still around to haunt us.

When these problems occur, one would usually feel that the current company is no longer good enough and they most probably will look for a new host provider. With the intense competition in the industry of web hosting, no one will tolerate any problems. If a service of a hosting company is inferior, their clients are most likely to turn to a better one available in the market. Whatever the problem may be, there are reasons that customers change their hosting company. Is it the lack in performance? Is there a better deal with another company? Or is it because of constant problems with the current hosting? No matter what, changing host always seems to be a big task. However, this task could be done in the most efficient way with minimum work load.

The most efficient way to rebuild your website onto a new host is to do a full download of the files from the old host onto a hard disk and transfer it onto the new host. This is the most straightforward way and is simple and easy. However, most of the problems that a consumer has to go through when changing their host to a new one are getting the script to work. Other than that, consumer will also face problems with configuration of the database, enabling special features and so on. If the problem persists, what consumers need to do is to make their website simpler by removing features from the site.

By having the domain registered under your own domain name, you could cope with host switching problems. If you domain is registered under a host, it would be harder for you to switch the hosting because that particular host company will loose you business and will be less helpful in attending issues regarding you account. Therefore, you can avoid this by having your domain registered under your own name.

After switching host, all you have left to do is to configure the email accounts and leave the rest to the new host. By then, you will be convinced that switching host was the right move.
