Website Transfer Process
Getting ready to Transfer your website
Once your new Hosting Account with e-dimensionz has been activated and the Hosting Transfer form has been submitted, our Site Migration team will begin working on transferring your website. At this point, the site migration team will handle everything related to transferring of your website.
Generally, from start to finish the migration can take anywhere from as little as 1 hour to as much as 48 hours, depending on the size of the website and the web host you're moving from.
During this process, you will be asked to change the DNS on your domain name to our name servers. Domain propagation can take 24-72 hours after the DNS is changed,
Test and Confirm
Once our team has notified that your website transfer is completed, they'll ask you to double check your website to ensure that things are working. Provided that you changed the DNS and waited the 24-72 hours for the domain to resolve everything should be working correctly.
Cancel your Old Hosting Account
Our suggestion is to keep the old hosting account active for at least a week. This way if there were any issues during the website transfer process, we would be able to correct it easily. Once you're confident that your website is working correctly, you can proceed to cancel your web hosting account.
