• Sign up for a new site with us well in advance of your old hosting account expiring. That way you will have plenty of time to work out any bugs during the transition process. • Upload the pages to our servers, and get everything working the way you want. • Point your domain to our servers using the control panel. Wait at least an hour to be sure the configuration has updated on our system. • Update your name servers with your current registrar. Your new name servers will be ns1.phenominet.com and ns2.phenominet.com Then you will be ready to serve pages from our servers. As soon as the ISPs clear their cached information, they will begin to access our servers.
