WEB HOSTING
SWITCHING YOUR HOSTING TO McREAL
Switching your hosting to us is easy. The following 3 simple steps take the pains out of transferring your hosting to us.
- Order desired hosting plan with domain name
- Point your domain name to our servers
- Cancel your old hosting account
Order desired hosting plan with domain name
Establish your preferred hosting plans with your domain name at our website. Remember to select "Do Not Register My Domain Name"
under Domain Registration, as your domain name has already been
registered.
As soon as your payment is confirmed, your account will be activated and
you will be sent an email with the
relevant details you need to use your account.
Point your domain name to our servers
The next thing you need to do is make changes to your domain name record and point your domain name to our nameservers.
To do this, you need to log into your domain registrar or registration provider's website appropriately and change the DNS record of the
domain name.
If you don't have the necessary details to do this, you need to send a mail to your former host requesting that these changes be made.
Our nameserver details are as follows:
ns.mcreal.net (IP Address: 74.86.252.188)
ns2.mcreal.net (IP Address: 208.43.147.95)
Within 24-72 hours of pointing your domain name to our server, your website/emails will begin
to run off our server. You can check this by typing your domain name on any browser and watch
your website show up.
Cancel your old hosting account
This may be as simple as sending an email to your former host, requesting that your account be cancelled.
The procedure depends on the host.
These are the 3 simple steps you need to take to switch your hosting
to us. Should you want to completely transfer your domain name to us as
well, in order to take advantage of our FREE domain name name
registration/renewal policy, we will provide you further steps to take once your website and mails are running on our server.
