Hi all,
I'm new here, and a bit untechy, so go easy on me...
Due to a whole heap of bad stuff, I failed to pay my old host for one of my
website hosting. I wanted to get a new host anyway, and chose eUKhost. I have a second site, on another host, which I'll come to in a bit.
Now, site1 gets (got) little traffic, but the email addresses associated with it are our main business emails. I have opted to move the domain to eUKhost, and been advised that I need to get the current hosts to 'point the IPS tag to ENOM'. I don't have access to the current host, because the hosting was resold to me by my
website hosting designer. I have asked him to ask them to do the IPS pointing thing, but have no way of knowing if that is getting done. Also, as my subscription has ended, I'm unsure if they will actually do it at all....
How long should I wait before I can reasonably expect my email accounts to be working again, so I know that, if they don't, it's my problem, not just that they've not been set up/propagated/pointed at or whatever?
The other question may not belong here, but I'm asking anyway
Site2 is a .com hosted in the Netherlands, so shows up better in the uk on whole web searches than on uk searches. It ranks quite well, though. I want to move it to eUKhost as well, to give it a better chance at ranking for uk searches (I was ignorant at the time...), is there anything I should do to minimise ranking slippage, or am I worrying too much?
Sorry for the long post, and thanks for any help you can give. Replies don't have to be quite in words of one syllable, but please understand I'm pretty new to all things
website hostingy.
Thanks again,
Sean
