Transferring Your Website from 123-Reg Hosting

Some people are concerned when transferring domain names, or changing hosts. In reality the process can be very simple. For instance lets say you have registered your domain with 123-Reg but want to host with Weycrest. All you need to do is carry out a "partial transfer" from 123-REG to WEYCREST. With this method administrative control (billing etc) for your domain name will remain with 123-REG but only the nameservers are updated. Your domain management remains with 123-Reg, you but your domain name will point to your hosting plan with Weycrest. Please note any nameserver changes are not immediate, due to the distributed way that DNS operates (all the ISP nameserver cache's in the world have to update) so you still need to allow 12-24 hours for propagation to take place.

Green Web Hosting

A few years ago no would have heard of a "green web host. " Due to increasing global awareness of climate change, CO2 emissions and increasing evidence of the impact of fossil on the environment, there have been changes in the web hosting industry. We have recently seen a number of green hosting initiatives gain momentum with web hosting companies and thought that Weycrest should reflect these changes. Its one of the reasons last year we decided to migrate to a Carbon Neutral Facility in East London.
