From Mercumaya to Shinjiru Hosting Malaysia
Hey everyone! I wanted to share my recent experience with migrating my website from Mercumaya to Shinjiru Hosting Malaysia. It was quite a journey, and I thought it might be helpful to share the process, my reasons for the switch, and some lessons I learned along the way.
Why I Decided to Migrate
After using Mercumaya for a while, I started noticing my website’s performance wasn’t as great as I wanted it to be. Plus, I was looking for better support and more flexibility as my site grew. After some research, Shinjiru Hosting Malaysia caught my eye. Here’s why I decided to go for it:
- Better Performance: Their SSD-based servers promised faster load times.
- Stronger Security: They offer awesome security features, like DDoS protection.
- Local Support: I loved the idea of having a Malaysian-based support team available 24/7.
- Room to Grow: They have flexible plans that can scale with my website’s needs.
The Migration Adventure
I won’t lie—migrating a website can be nerve-wracking. But with some planning, it turned out smoother than I expected. Here’s a quick breakdown of what I did:
- Getting Ready:
- I started by backing up all my website files and databases from Mercumaya.
- I double-checked everything to make sure it would work with Shinjiru’s setup.
- Setting Up My New Home:
- I picked a hosting plan that fit my needs.
- Setting up the account and server environment was straightforward with their clear instructions.
- Moving the Data:
- I transferred all my files and databases using cPanel.
- After the transfer, I went through everything to make sure nothing was missing.
- Updating DNS Settings:
- I updated my domain’s DNS records to point to the new servers.
- Then came the waiting game while the DNS changes propagated.
- Testing Everything:
- I tested the website thoroughly to make sure everything worked as expected.
- I also made a few tweaks to optimize performance.
