Transfer your Domain Name and Website

To ensure a seamless transition to myhosting.com, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Sign up

Enter the domain name of your website, then select a Hosting Plan to suit your needs!

If you’re not sure which plan to select, we recommend the Business Plan for the most flexibility. New accounts are activated within moments of signup.

2. Download and Back Up

If you don’t have a copy of your website files saved on your computer, download it from your old host. If you have any databases, make sure to back them up to your computer too.

3. Upload

Once your new site has been activated, upload your site to myhosting.com using FTP or our File Manager. Don’t forget to upload or import your databases if you have any.

4. Configure

Set up all your email accounts using myhosting.com’s email administration interface, making sure to recreate all the same users and passwords.

5. Change Name Servers

Change the "name servers" on your domain name by logging in at your domain name registrar’s web site. Usually you can find these settings under a "Domain Administration" or "Domain Management" page in their control panel.

6. Transition

Wait 24-48 hours for the transition period to complete.

7. Finalize

Log in at your previous host one last time to check for any outstanding emails that may have arrived during the transition period.

8. Cancel Old Account

Cancel your account at your previous host, and enjoy your new account with myhosting.com!
