How to do the migration?

Step 1: Sign up for a webhosting account

Your first step should be to sign up for a hosting package with us. Once your account is activated you can move on to step two, but remember that you should not cancel your old web hosting services or inform your old host that you are moving until you have backed up your files and your domain name has been transferred or repointed.

Step 2. Back Up Your Data

It is important to ensure that you have a full backup of your web hosting account before you get ready to move. Be sure to write down any extra information you will need such as your e-mail account settings, MySQL authentication details, passwords and so on.

Step 3. Migrating your data files

At this point you should be ready to start uploading your website to your new Vodien Internet Solutions webhosting account, you can either let us do it for you or do it yourself.

1) Contact us to perform the migration on your behalf

Make sure that your domain name is added in your cPanel and is hosted with Vodien’s servers. Once done you can test your website by visiting your URL or domain name. For emails, recreate email addresses and import email backup via email client.

You should have received your DNS name servers information in the welcome email. Update your name server information at your registrar to the following: 

ns1.vodien.com
ns2.vodien.com

We will take care of this step for you if you are registering a domain with us or transferring your domain name to us from another registrar.

It takes about 6 to 48 hours for a domain name to propagate worldwide (every ISP receive an update on your website move). For any further assistance feel free to contact us, we will be happy to update your name servers for you.

Step 5. That’s All!

After approximately 48 hours, having confirmed your website is accessible online at its new location, you can now terminate your previous webhosting account.
