How we transfer your account from another webhosting company
Recent issues at your current wordpress hosting company have you down ? Mariehosting.com will help you migrate your shared hosting wordpress website to mariehosting.com free of charge. Sign up for an account and then submit an email to tech support and we will be more than happy to help you migrate your website. We are experts in wordpress hosting, wordpress web design and more. We are unable to transfer email accounts directly we recommend that you use pop3(instad of Imap) and download all your existing email, If you like to use Imap you can resetup your email box as imap and resynchronize email to the new server. Let us know when you would like us to migrate the site, as it can take up to 48 hours for the new DNS to resolve, we want to make sure the process goes smoothly with no stale data, or downtime.
Here are the steps we take to migrate your existing wordpress website.
1. Export data in phpmyadmin. In order to do this we will need any hosting account information you have access to; control panel login, ftp logins, and mysql information, if you would like us to attempt to transfer your email accounts you will need to provide email addresses and passwords, or we can reset this information for you.
2. Compress wordpress and website files.
3. Import wordpress files to new server.
4. Import database to new server.
5. Configure wordpress site using temporary cpanel user address.
6. Verify installation using temporary cpanel user address.
7. Recommend client updates dns, nameservers to the new hosting account. Let the client know the database, email, mysql database migration process is completed. (checklist with items completed to the client.)
*After updating the dns it can take up to 48 hours for the new nameservers and DNS to propagate the internet. At this time email, and mysql information may become “stale” or out of date.
If you have cpanel hosting currently, we have resources to migrate the account easier then the above steps. We will need your cpanel login information for the current hosting provider in order to migrate your account from one cpanel server to another.
