Introduction
If you are reading this article, there is a good chance you either own a small business, blog, or another type of website. And what you may not realize is that, there’s a good chance that your website is hosted with a third-party vendor. This vendor may provide you with a free plan, or you may have paid a few hundred dollars for a more robust plan. But for any reason you may want to switch to us.
Give us the access data of your website
The first thing we’ll need is access to your website’s data. In most cases, we can log into your account and grab what we need. However, we’ll need the credentials to do so. Some hosts allow us to access a client’s account with their consent, while others require us to have the account owner’s login credentials. If you have a cPanel account, you can use our Migration Access button to let us access your account. For other types of hosting, we’ll need you to provide login credentials.
We will go ahead and migrate the content server-to-server
Once we have access to your account, the first thing we’ll do is copy your data to our servers. This process is called a “server-to-server” migration, which means we are copying from your server to ours. We will only copy the data you want to migrate. Using our Denali Professional Migration Procedure, we can filter out the data you want to migrate. This can include content like your posts, pages, comments, tags, categories, and more. Once we have copied your data to our servers, we’ll log into your website and start transferring that data back to our servers. This process is called a “server-to-server” migration, which means we are copying from your server to ours. We will only copy the data you want to migrate.
After that all is migrated we will verify everything
Once we have copied your data to our servers and transferred it back to our servers, we will run a few tests to make sure everything was copied correctly. First, we’ll run a search-and-replace. This will ensure that nothing was missed in the migration process. We’ll also check for broken links. Broken links are links on your website that no longer work. When we migrated your data from your server to ours, we copied the links. If those links no longer work, it’s a broken link. We will also check your content for formatting. Different servers use different formats to display content. If your data was in HTML, but it needs to be in Markdown, we’ll make the change.
Then we will wait your approval to start the real domain name transfer
Once we have verified that everything transferred correctly, we are ready to start the real domain transfer. With our Denali CMS migration tool, we can filter out the data you want to migrate. This can include content like your posts, pages, comments, tags, categories, and more. Once we have verified that everything transferred correctly, we are ready to start the real transfer.
