How to switch from another webhosting provider to I-Cyberhk?
You have to sumbit an order form at our site. Once you place an order with us, you will receive the email from our syste. When we have received the payment, we will send you a Account Created e-mail with our control panel login and DNS information to the email account submited in the registration.
Next you have to make sure you have pointed your domain to our dns server:
Log into your domain control panel, given by your registrar, to change the DNS info for your domain name to the one we provided. If you do not have a domain control panel, you will need to request your registrar to modify the DNS info for you. After the request is done,the global DNS propagation usually takes 24 - 48 hours to activate.
Will my site be down during the switch? Will I lose mail?
When InterNIC updates the dns servers record, all new visitors will connect to the new web server and email server as well. Some ISP who have cached your old IP address will continue to visit and send mail to your old site for one to two days even after the DNS records change. Therefore you have to keep your existing web site and mail service with your current host for 3-4 more days after you've moved your web files to our server. This will ensure a smooth transition without down time. Be sure to check your old mailbox during this time to avoid losing any mail.
