Switching hosting providers doesn't have to be stressful. Our migration team has moved over 8,000 websites with zero data loss and zero downtime. Here's exactly how it works.
What we migrate — for free
- Website files — all files in your public_html, including themes, plugins, uploads
- Databases — MySQL/MariaDB databases with full integrity
- Email accounts — all mailboxes, emails, and contacts
- DNS records — A, CNAME, MX, TXT, SPF, DKIM, DMARC
- SSL certificates — we provision a new free Let's Encrypt
- Cron jobs — scheduled tasks
What we need from you
- Your current hosting login (cPanel, Plesk, or FTP credentials)
- Your domain registrar login (to update nameservers)
- A list of email accounts to migrate (if not in cPanel)
That's it. We handle everything else.
The migration process — step by step
Step 1: You submit a request
Use our free migration wizard or open a support ticket. Tell us your current host and domain — we'll review and confirm within 1 business hour.
Step 2: We copy your site
Our team logs into your current host and creates a full backup of your files, databases, and emails. We transfer this to your new Danets Server account.
Zero downtime: Your current site stays live throughout. We're copying, not moving.
Step 3: We configure the new environment
On your new Danets Server account, we:
- Restore your files and databases
- Recreate your email accounts
- Provision a free SSL certificate
- Configure DNS records
- Test everything on a temporary URL
Step 4: You review
We send you a temporary URL to preview your site on our servers. You verify everything looks and works correctly. We fix any issues.
Step 5: We switch the DNS
Once you approve, we update your domain's nameservers to point to Danets Server. This is the only moment of "change" — and it's seamless.
DNS propagation: Usually 1-4 hours globally. Your site stays accessible throughout (either from the old or new server).
Step 6: We monitor
For 7 days after migration, we proactively monitor your site for any issues. If something breaks, we fix it — free.
How long does it take?
- Simple sites (static, small WordPress): 2-4 hours
- Medium sites (WooCommerce, membership): 4-8 hours
- Complex sites (multi-site, custom apps): 1-2 days
- Email migration: adds 2-4 hours
Most migrations complete within 24 hours.
Preparing for migration — checklist
- [ ] Make a backup of your site (just in case)
- [ ] List any third-party services (CDN, SMTP, APIs)
- [ ] Note any custom DNS records
- [ ] Check email account list
- [ ] Identify any SSL certificates expiring soon
What if something goes wrong?
Our migration success rate is 99.7%. If we encounter an issue:
- We pause and notify you immediately
- We roll back any changes (your old hosting stays intact until you're happy)
- We escalate to senior engineers
- If we can't migrate successfully, you get a full refund — no questions asked
