\"transfer-icon\"Transferring your Web Site to UKC without Downtime<\/h2>\n

Moving your site from an old host to a new host might sound complicated but it is actually very easy.<\/p>\n

Our technicians are moving all types of sites (self built, WordPress, Joomla, shopping carts) on a daily basis. Leave the complexity to us.<\/p>\n

We will help you transfer your web site, data and mysql databases to our hosting service and minimise (if not eliminate) the need for any downtime whatsoever.<\/p>\n

Here are the steps to follow:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Order your new hosting plan from UKC<\/a>. Do not cancel your old hosting plan (yet).<\/li>\n
  2. Is your old host using Plesk? If so, all you need do is run a full backup in Plesk Backup Manager and provide us with the backup file. We can restore from here.<\/li>\n
  3. You will now have access to two hosting accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What we need from you<\/h3>\n

    In order for us to successfully transfer your website, we need the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. A backup of your hosting account run from your old host (if you have one)<\/li>\n
    2. The panel login details of your old hosting plan<\/li>\n
    3. The FTP details of your old hosting plan<\/li>\n
    4. If you have SSH with the old host, then these details can also help<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      From here we can take care of the transfer of all of your site data and databases.<\/p>\n

      Going live without downtime<\/h3>\n

      We will transfer all of your web site, data and mysql databases before the “going live” date which we will agree with you beforehand.<\/p>\n

      Once we go live, the switch will simply be a name server change on your domain name<\/a>. At this point, your web site will now be live using a UKC hosting plan<\/a>. Once you are happy with the operations of your new site you can then proceed to cancel your old hosting plan.<\/p>\n

      If you have any questions now (or along the way) simply contact the Helpdesk<\/a> who are there to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
