Website Move Service Overview

Required Information

Our Website Move service, provided by our MyTime Support™ Team, transfers your website (including database if built) from an existing hosting package to a Network Solutions® hosting package. 

In order to complete the service, we must receive information on the following:

  • Name of your current hosting provider.
  • Name of the Network Solutions hosting package to which the site is being moved.
  • Is the website built in ASP, PHP, or HTML (see special note below)?
  • Complete FTP information from your current hosting provider. This includes: host name, user ID, and password.
  • Database file location or database server connection details.
    • If the database is MySQL, you must provide cPanel access details or a link to phpMyAdmin.
    • If the database is MSSQL, you must export a backup copy of the database and upload it via FTP to your current host or to Network Solutions.
  • The type of content management system on the site, if any (e.g. Joomla, Wordpress, etc.).
  • A list of domain names that need to be pointed to the transferred website files.
  • A listing of up to 10 new emailboxes to setup on the new site (optional).
