Choose a new hosting. Search the Internet for reviews, ask friends, look very carefully so that you don't have to move again.

Upload your site and everything that accompanies it to the new hosting. Your website will be assigned a new IP address.

Test the site by IP and debug its work. This must be done before you re-register your domain name.

Only after your site is fully debugged on the new hosting and functions normally, contact the domain name registrar and transfer the name to the new hosting.

Wait for the moment of name reassignment. While this process is underway, in no case remove the site from the old hosting.

Test the site again - do it in great detail and carefully.
