How to Export Cart File/Transfer Cart32 settings

1. Purchase a Sheer Web Host Cart32 plan. Then log into your H-Sphere control panel and submit a trouble ticket requesting a Cart32 install.

2. Log into your existing/old cart. Click the File tab and then click the Export Client Data button.

3. Follow the instructions to export your cart settings to a text file. After you see the gauge indicating 100%, save the file to your hard drive and e-mail it to cart32@sheerwebhost.com.

Note: The export process can take a while if you have many orders and/or customers in your cart database.

4. Check the Quick Reference Guide to see which settings you should change to point to your new directories on Sheer Web Host.

5. Set up your e-mail addresses in your H-sphere Control Panel.

6. Publish your general Web site files to Sheer Web Host as per the Welcome e-mail you received — but don't change your domain name servers (DNS) at your domain name registrar, until you thoroughly test the new cart and website.

7. When everything's working to your satisfaction, change the DNS to the addresses assigned to you in the Welcome message. Your site will be updated worldwide within 24 to 72 hours. Although you may be able to see your site on your new server sooner than that, please allow a complete 72-hour cycle before you delete the files on your old host. There can be some fluctuation between the new and the old site until your new address fully resolves across the Internet.
