How can I migrate / shift my website from other web host to webji? Print

A. If your website is in Cpanel or Plesk panel and you want our team to help you with onetime data migration then please send an email at support@webji.services (please make sure to mention basic info about the query such as how many domains and how many GB of data migration is required, which control panel is there on old server) and our team will check and get back to you with an appropriate quote as per estimated time required for the data migration. Our team will try their best to migrate your files/folders, databases, email data from old to new hosting ac with us. Kindly note that migration is a time-consuming task thus a fee is required to be paid based on an estimate of system admin time required for data migration.

B. If your website is in any other control panel or no control panel on the old server then data migration needs to be done manually steps are as follows:

1. Buy new web hosting ac from https://webji.in or if you have a reseller/vps/dedicated server ac then create a web hosting ac for the new domain name under your web hosting control panel.

2. Download all files/folders from the old server and upload them in httpdocs or public_html folder of your web hosting ac with us. Generally, the folder name is httpdocs in the case of Plesk Panel with us and public_html in the case of CPanel control panel-based hosting ac with us.

3. This step 3 is not required for HTML-based static websites. But if your website is having a MySQL or MSSQL database also in it, then create that in your web hosting control panel with us and restore the backups of the database in appropriate databases. Update your connection string using file manager in the web hosting control panel with us.

5. Please make sure to download all files folders, database, and email backups at your computer before proceeding with nameserver update as email data migration will not be possible so you need to download the email backups before updating the nameservers.
