Moving Your Site PDF Print E-mail

Moving your existing site from a host provider that you're no longer happy with can be a daunting prospect. KernBuilt.com is here to help. Too often a relationship between a client and hosting provider has gone sour causing anxiety on top of the existing frustration. Our up-front approach in these cases makes the transition to a new provider quick and simple. We'll cover all the "gotchas" by working with the registrar, ensuring the DNS is set correctly, making sure that email accounts are set with SPAM filtering and that site files are in place before the transition. If we have cooperation from you existing developer we can transfer the entire site and email service with 0 down-time. Leave it to us to get your site in stable and confident hands. The process usually involves the following steps:

  1. KernBuilt.com collects registrar, current host, ftp, and other account information.
  2. KernBuilt.com sets up our DNS, web, spam filtering, email and other needed services to prepare for the transition.
  3. We then change the name server designation at the registrar. This process can take a couple of days to complete entirely but the site will be visible at all times and no email will be lost.
  4. Finalize the process by transferring the domain to our registrar account for administration.
Though each case is different these are several pieces that remain the same. We'll review all your site and your online goals and determine what's needed to get you where you want to be online.
