GODADDY亚太空间换成美国空间全过程

andrew512

先感谢一下lwbo1987昨天对我提问的清晰回答，不然还是不敢做这一步的。
17日购买了GODADDY的空间，买之前还听前辈们说不要买亚太空间，买的时候因为折扣很大，2年的经济型加一个域名合计66美元，当时一兴奋就把前辈的忠告给忘了。买完以后发现速度确实不怎么样，尤其是电信，然后一查，果然发现是AP亚太的，火大了。
于是看了很多帖子是否能换回来，理论上应该是可以的，现在回过头来看看，步骤和很多前辈说的是一致的：
1，先联系GODADDY客服说明情况（这个是我加上去的，因为我怕我做了下面的步骤以后，万一GODADDY赖帐，其实应该是没事的）；
2，买个最小的美国空间，之前亚太是哪个套餐，你就买套餐，我是经济型；
3，把原来那个亚太的给删了；
4，联系客服把亚太剩余的时间，接在美国的新空间上；
5，搞定，等着。

所以通过contact support发邮件给GODADDY的客服，时间应该是17日下午，邮件如下：
Dear madam/sir,
I just now buyed a web hosting at Fast Asia Pacific-based servers,but it can't be opened quickly.Could you help me to change it to world-class data center in USA?

best regards,

Andy

客户很厉害，居然能看懂我的英文，然后在当天18点多回我了，这个邮件估计是统一格式：
Dear Andy,
Thank you for contacting Online Support.

It appears that you are having an issue with the speed of your hosting plan.

In order to have your hosting in a specific region, please process the order through one of our representatives.  When you have your new hosting account purchased, please cancel the hosting and let us know so we can move the remaining time to the new hosting account.

Canceling your hosting account removes your website's files from our servers. Be sure that you have copies of any files you want to keep before you cancel your account.
To Cancel Your Hosting Account:

   1. Log in to your Account Manager.
   2. From the Products section, click Web Hosting.
   3. Click the domain name you want to use.
   4. Go to the Edit Account Details tab, and then click Cancel this account.
   5. Click Cancel Account.

NOTE: It can take up to 24 hours for the domain name to be available for use again after you cancel your hosting account.


To Purchase a Region Specific Hosting Account:
Please reply with this information:

- All of the items you are trying to purchase.
- The last four digits of the payment method on file that you would like to use, along with the 4 digit PIN for the account.
- Agreement to the full amount, please include the full amount in your response in US dollars.

当时对邮件内容不清楚，所以在我们这个论坛注册并且对邮件内容提问和确认，当时主要是怕，买的时候是有折扣的，现在折扣已经结束，如果换成美国主机，会不会补差价，版主lwbo1987给了非常清楚的回答，如果你也有这样的疑问，可以看http://bbs.idcspy.com/thread-423113-1-1.html这里lwbo1987对我的回答。
然后就去买美国空间（如何买美国空间请参阅大象无形的帖子http://bbs.idcspy.com/thread-313987-1-1.html或者百度搜一下，非常简单），能多短就多短，但是发现经济型最短只有3个月的，于是又联系客服帮我加一个月的美国经济型空间到我的购物篮，18日上午发，邮件如下：
Dear madam/sir,
Thanks for your reply.
You told me to buy a  new hosting account,so I'm going to buy a cheapest one of world-class data center in USA.But there's no 1 month order of economy web hosting. Could you help me to add an order of Hosting - Shared - Economy - Linux - Monthly of world-class data center in USA  for just 1 month into my cart?
Best regards,
Andy.
由于时差关系，这次的邮件是晚上大概8点左右收到的：
Dear Andy,

Thank you for contacting Online Support.

Please use the information below to assist your issue with hosting.

Unfortunately the shortest time available for economy hosting is two months.  I have added the hosting to your account for you to order at your leisure.  

Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.

说最短没有一个月的，只有两个月，那也行，价格是两个月共13.98没有，找了个优惠码（参照大漠孤狼的帖子http://bbs.idcspy.com/thread-780-1-1.html），便宜20%，又为了占便宜买了个1.99的域名，虽然现在发现没什么用，呵呵，心理平衡而已，合计13多美元，然后去删除亚太主机，这个找了半天，因为客服给我的删除的步骤，和百度上的不一样，所以纠结了很久，后来还是按照客服的，以免他们赖帐：
   1. Log in to your Account Manager.
   2. From the Products section, click Web Hosting.
   3. Click the domain name you want to use.
   4. Go to the Edit Account Details tab, and then click Cancel this account.
   5. Click Cancel Account.
进到我的账户－点HOSTING-你会发现有2个空间－找那个想删除的－点它会跳出这个主机的信息，什么IP啊状态啊之类的－在这个框里选Edit Account Details板块－点右下角的Cancel this item－确定
这里最好确定的时候，问：你是否确定，因为删除以后，不会退钱的。我又纠结了很久，才点的，大不了去美国和狗大爹吵去，哈哈。
操作完成，发邮件给客服，时间是18日晚上12点多了，也就是19日凌晨了，内容如下：
Dear madam/sir,
Thanks for your reply.
Because the speed of my hosting plan is too slow in my region,so I want to change my hosting account to USA data center.

Now I have done what you told me.
I have buyed an new hosting account of Hosting - Web - Economy - Linux - Monthly (recurring) for 2 month:
1.Receipt#: 367733188
2.label:42001-1
3.name:Hosting - Web - Economy - Linux - Monthly (recurring)
4.paid:Alipay(××××××××@qq.com)
5.Pin:3270
6.price11.18

And I have canceled my old hosting account of Hosting - Web - Economy - Linux - AP Region - 2 years (recurring) :
1.Receipt#: 366714132
2.label:42179-1
3.name:Hosting - Web - Economy - Linux - AP Region - 2 years (recurring)
4.paid:Alipay(××××××××@qq.com)
5.Pin:3270
6.price64.62

Now could you help me to move the remaining time to the new hosting account?
我把两个空间的情况写了一下，不知道是不是肯定要写的，估计没关系的，只是我嫌邮件来回麻烦，能少一个来回就少，如果你要看这些参数，点击你订单号就可以看到的。
今天早上起床，也就是19号8点多，收到时间是凌晨4点多，开机就看到了客服的邮件：
Dear Andy,

应该是成功了，去账户一看，时间已经加上了，至此，一切成功。
其实如果你晚上操作的话，邮件来回包括买新空间和删除旧空间，应该一个晚上就可以搞定的，老美效率确实很高。

………………我也换了美国空间。速度非常快。。关键是FTP也很快了- 。-  激动了··~~

andrew512

其实，我感觉速度也差不多，只是我是外贸网站，在新加波这个小地方，想让世界各地的人来访问，总觉得不是那么回事情。

lwbo1987

恭喜了，算是比较顺利的你！

andrew512

是的，很顺利，而且速度也很快，1点我的邮件过去，4点就改好了。谢谢你了！

你好请教个换空间的问题。换空间的时候，会帮你把网站文件和数据库换过去吗

不会，这些都要自己迁移
