How To Upload Website To New Domain?

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about how to transfer a website to a new domain? I don%26#039;t really know how to use MS Publisher, which I hear is the way to go.

I am fairly new to designing websites using the Yahoo and Homestead Site Builder Tools, so any help with this question will be essential.

I recently designed a site for a friend who decided they didn%26#039;t want to use Homestead as a web host for their domain and have thus signed up for another provider. However, they still wish to keep the website designed from their Homestead account but we need to transfer or upload all the web pages to their new hosting provider.

Any thoughts on how I could handle something like this would be lifesaving as it could eliminate a whole lot of headache for doing this type of thing for others in the future.

Please not that I%26#039;m still new at this so a clear, detailed set of instructions for a layperson would be great as I%26#039;m not too bright in this area. Thanks one and all!!!

How To Upload Website To New Domain?

Hi, I use coreftp, it%26#039;s free and you can download it on this site http://www.coreftp.com

Once you already installed it on your computer, start it and then login to homestead using this program. On the left column of the program, browse a folder in your computer where you want all the webpages from homestead to be copied. To copy, just right click on the file from the right column of the program and then click download. Once you already copied everything. Disconnect your connection with homestead and start a new connection, this time you will connect through the new webhosting account. You will need the ftp username and ftp password from that hosting account. Once you are already connected, right click on the folders and webpages you downloaded which is in the left column of the program, and then click upload.

Next Step will be, to point your domain name to the new webhosting.

Finished.

I hope that helps.

copy and paste the URL

Other Replys:Its probably not a good idea to try and copy the code from homestead over to another domain. Homestead uses wacky code. If you want to do it right, buy Dreamweaver. MS Publisher is not very good. Did your friend already register a domain name? Here are some tips on getting started: http://www.richkahmer.com/build-a-websit...
