SEO Tips: Website Migration

Once you decide to switch over your database or [tag-tec]migrate web hosting [/tag-tec] from your previous provider to the new provider, here are some things you need to prepare for a smooth migration:

  1. Migrate the DNS domain. Make sure you own the domain at the time it was registered. You also need to have the account details to login and change the dns server entries. However, do not register the new site, until you have fully migrated/copied the contents over to the new provider. DNS entries take about 24 hours to propagate. So budget this time in advance.
  2. Make sure you have account access into the webserver or ftp access to it. This will allow you to download your site, and then upload it to the new site. If not, you can use web scraping software to copy the static pages. The business logic will not be copied in this way though.
  3. Backup the database, if any, and then restore it to the new site.
  4. Backup the log files. These are important for web traffic analysis and can help you optimize your site for more traffic
  5. Test the new site by assigning a temporay dns name, aka.
    web.yourdomain.com. And then try to see if the website can be accessed.
  6. Once you are satisfied, simply edit the domain name entries for www to point to the new domain.

Futuregen has served a lot of our clients by ensuring the smooth migration of their websites from one domain to a new domain. For help with migration, simply send us an email at marketing[at]futuregen.sg

Hosted Document Management System for SMEs

Futuregen is proud to announce a low cost,[tag-tec] hosted document management [/tag-tec]solution to enable Small and Medium Enterprises to have their own electronic Document Management system.

Rows of Documents

Users of the system can use any ordinary web browser to upload the scanned images. The same browser interface is also used to tag this image with metadata…ie.. name, social security number, tax identification, record number etc. The retrieval of the document is done via a sql search query. The user is provided a web search interface. The user then enters ANY of the above data (ie. name, or sss number or record number), and the system will return a list of images and related documents with the same tagged information.

This system is ideal for companies that need a simple but powerful method of filing documents and retrieving them. Companies can use this for record keeping purposes like employee records, sales records, invoices etc. Schools and similar institutions can use this for student records. Government offices can use this for license applications, etc.

Disaster Recovery Support

The common mistake in backing up is to place the backup in the same facility! This is why after the 9/11 attacks on NY, USA, a lot of companies have basically selected secondary sites to store their backups as part of their [tag-tec]Disaster REcovery Plans [/tag-tec].

We have the fiber capacity to support high speed downloading. Our secured servers can further off load the data into CD, or tape, or into our terrabit raid level 5 hard disk storage servers

Contact us at marketing[at] futuregen.sg to help you with this.

Things to Consider in Registering your Domain Name

  1. Is the domain name available?
  2. Do you need to register the other extensions? aka. .net, .org., .mobi, .biz, .info?
  3. Do you need to [tag-tec]register in other TLDs [/tag-tec]?(country specific like. .sg, .cn, .id., in, .tw. ph , .my)
  4. Do you have at least 2 nameservers to use?
  5. Do you want to register it yourself? or outsource it?
  6. Is it going to be search engine friendly?

You can depend on our experience of hosting more than 600 clients and certifications in E-commerce to assist you in this domain name registration process. We can work with you to achieve your business objectives in your web project.
