How to Transfer Your Website to Us? (Quick Steps)

Overview

Moving your website to UnderHost is quick and hassle-free. Follow these simple steps to transfer your site with minimal downtime.

Step 1: Choose a Hosting Plan

  • Visit our hosting plans and choose the best option for your needs.
  • Complete the order and set up your hosting account.

Step 2: Backup Your Website

  • If using cPanel, go to cPanel > Backup and download a full backup.
  • For WordPress, use a plugin like UpdraftPlus or manually back up files and databases.

Step 3: Upload Files to Our Server

  • Use FTP (FileZilla) or the cPanel File Manager to upload your website files.
  • Restore your database via phpMyAdmin if needed.

Step 4: Update Your Domain’s DNS

  • Log into your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap).
  • Update your nameservers to:
    dns1.underhost.com
    dns2.underhost.com
            
  • Wait for DNS propagation (can take up to 24 hours).

Step 5: Test Your Website

  • Use a temporary URL or hosts file modification to check the site before full propagation.
  • Verify everything is working correctly.

Step 6: Request Free Migration (Optional)
