How to Transfer Website to Truehost

One of the major reasons why clients may choose to transfer their services from one Web hosting provider to another is poor customer service.

Another reason could be, clients preferring their domains and hosting in one place. Although this is not advisable, however, different clients have different needs.

Transfer of a full website to truehost involves 3 major steps.

  1. Transfer your domain name to Truehost
  2. Purchasing the Hosting space with Truehost Cloud
  3. Transfer Files to Truehost -Websites back up files, Emails and Databases
  4. Hire Gan Technologies to DO the transfer for YOU

  1. Place a domain transfer order
  2. The domain must be unlocked for transfer by your current registrar.

  4. The domain must be an active domain. And at least not in the renewal grace period or expiring at least in the next 10 days.
  5. Pay transfer charges for TLDs (top-level domain names e.g. .com, .net, etc). To transfer ccTLD e.g .co.ke, com.ng, or .co.za (country code Top Level domains) is usually free.
