Website Transfer Service for cPanel or Plesk
At ReallyGoodHost.com, we understand that moving your website to a new host can seem like a daunting task. That’s why we offer a free website migration service for websites currently hosted on cPanel or Plesk. Our expert team will handle the entire transfer process to ensure a smooth and hassle-free transition to our hosting platform.
How Our Website Transfer Service Works
Request the Transfer:
Once you've signed up for a hosting plan with us, you can submit a website transfer request by contacting our support team. We'll need some basic information about your current hosting environment, including:
- Your current hosting provider
- Whether your current control panel is cPanel or Plesk
- Your website’s login credentials (temporarily and securely shared with us)
Transfer Process:
Our team will:
- Export your website data from the old host (files, databases, and email if applicable).
- Configure and set up your new hosting account on ReallyGoodHost.com.
- Import and test your website to ensure it’s running smoothly on our platform.
Domain & DNS Updates:
If you’re transferring your domain as well, we’ll guide you through updating your DNS records. This will ensure your domain is correctly pointing to our servers.
Testing and Finalization:
After the transfer is complete, we’ll thoroughly test your website to ensure everything is functioning as expected. You’ll also have the opportunity to check your site before we finalize the process.

Q: How long does the transfer take?
A: The transfer typically takes between 24 to 72 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your website.
