If your website is always down, loading painfully slow, or your hosting provider ghosts you when there’s an issue—it might be time to move. But many business owners in Nigeria don’t take the step because, well, migrating a website sounds technical and stressful.
That’s where Kwikaweb comes in. We help people like you switch to better, faster, and more reliable hosting—without losing data, traffic, or peace of mind.
So how do you move your website without drama? Here’s your step-by-step playbook.
First, Know When It’s Time to Leave
Before we talk “how,” let’s confirm you actually need to move. These signs say it all:
- Your site is constantly down or too slow.
- Customer support doesn’t respond or blames you.
- You’re growing, but your host can’t keep up.
- You’re paying more, but getting less.
If you’ve nodded at least twice, start packing.
What You’ll Need Before Migrating
- Access to your current hosting account
- Access to your domain registrar (where your domain is registered)
- Your website files and database backup (don’t worry, we’ll break it down)
- A new host, like Kwikaweb, who’ll handle this entire process for you if you want.
The Step-by-Step Migration Guide
1. Backup Everything
Use your current host’s backup tool or install a plugin (like UpdraftPlus for WordPress). Download both the website files and the database.
2. Choose a Better Host
This isn’t just about space, it’s about speed, reliability, support, and scalability. Kwikaweb offers Nigerian-friendly hosting with real-time support and flexible plans.
3. Upload to Your New Host
Once you’ve signed up with your new provider, upload your files and database. This may involve FTP access or cPanel. If this part sounds scary, we handle it for free at Kwikaweb.
4. Point Your Domain to the New Host
Update your domain’s DNS records (usually from your registrar dashboard) to direct traffic to your new hosting server.
5. Test, Test, Test
Before you shout “I’ve moved!” to the world, test every page, contact form, and link. Check mobile responsiveness, too.
