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

Step 1: Transferring Your Domain name to Truehost

To transfer your domain name to Truehost, here are the requirements you need.

1. Place a domain transfer order
2. The domain must be unlocked for transfer by your current registrar.
3. You need a domain authentication code or EPP code also provided 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.

After placing a successful transfer order, the domain transfer will take between 5-8 days to complete. For ccTLD domains, the transfer can be immediately or take one day.

Step 2: Purchasing A Hosting Package with Truehost

Of course, you will need a server space to store your files when you migrate them from your current provider to the Truehost Cloud.

You can use a hosting account with enough space or purchase a new one.

You will also be required to buy a hosting space or upgrade an existing one with Truehost Cloud. Truehost does not offer free transfer of files to an existing hosting account according to their File Migration policy.

Truehost has a simple step-by-step guide on how to do file migration on your own.
