How to migrate your website to BPHOST

Moving from another host? We make the switch smooth, and in most cases we'll do the heavy lifting for you.

Let us migrate it for you

If you're coming from a cPanel host, we can usually transfer your websites, email and databases free of charge. Just open a ticket with your old host's cPanel login details and we'll handle it.

Prefer to do it yourself?

  1. Download your site files (via your old host's File Manager or FTP) and re-upload them to public_html here.
  2. Export your databases and import them via phpMyAdmin.
  3. Recreate your email accounts in cPanel.
  4. Test everything using a temporary URL before switching.

Go live

Once you've confirmed the site works, point your domain's nameservers to BPHOST. To avoid downtime, keep your old hosting active until the move has fully propagated.
