To transfer your hosting from another company to ourselves just follow the steps below.


1) When you purchase hosting from our selves you should receive an email with the log in details of your hosting account.


2) Get a copy of your site either from a backup you have at home or by downloading a copy from your current hosts.


3) Using the login details you have recieved from us you can upload your site either by using an FTP program such as dreamweaver or by logging into your hosting account and using the file manager.


4) Give our technicians the IP address your mailserver is on. As you are changing from the other companies nameservers pointing to this IP address to our nameservers pointing to this IP address there will be no interruption to your mail.


5) Make sure the site you want to appear is now uploaded to our servers and fully ready to go.

6) If we are authoritative for the domain we can change to our own nameservers at this stage. If not you will need to contact the company who registered the name for you and ask them to change to our nameservers

7) Allow 24 -48 hours for propogation.
