I have mentioned in previous articles that the most important thing to consider when creating your website is to choose the name. This is true. But choosing your host is the second most important! Try to anticipate future needs and don’t base your decision on price alone. You should be able to get a ‘top of the range’ package for 120 Euros a year that will be future proof. For all the benefits your website brings 10 Euros per month is a bargain! My hosting is scalable from 5 to 10 Euros per month depending on needs but the main thing is upgrades do not require moving hosts.
Back to the question. There were only two options for my client: do without the feature or move hosts. The feature they wanted was a database to control stock and customer details and therefore doing without was not an option.
The transfer took a few weeks to prepare but, when it was ready, the transfer went smoothly with the site being unavailable for just 15 minutes.
