Transfer Your Domain and Hosting

Transfer website with zero downtime

The only requirement is that you do not delete your current web hosting account until your new one with us is set up. Follow the steps below to ensure ZERO downtime and continued business from your website.

Moving / Transferring from other Web Host (ZERO DOWNTIME!)

  • DO NOT CHANGE YOUR NAMESERVERS JUST YET NOR DELETE YOUR CURRENT WEB HOST!

  • Establish a hosting account with us. You will then be able to access your new account via the server's hostname that you will get on your setup email. Start uploading your website files to your domain folder through FTP or any other site publishing software (FrontPage, Dreamweaver, HomeSite, etc.)

  • In your welcome email, you will get a temporary link to access your NEW web site before anything goes live. Verify that everything is working on your NEW site (graphics, web pages, links, etc.)
    Once verified, go to your registrar and change your "name servers" to those that are mentioned in your setup email.

  • Your site will be updated WORLDWIDE within 24-72 hours. Note: although you may be able to see your site on the new server within possibly 12 hours, please allow a complete 72-hour cycle before you delete your old host.

  • Enjoy your new site @ XeonBD. If you have any problems during the transfer, please have a touch with our TECHNICAL SUPPORT department through our ticketing system what you've done so far, and we'll help you finish it all up! EVEN IF YOU DO IT RIGHT, drop us a line and let us know that you love the speed!

Already bought a domain but want to host with us:

  • First step is to establish a web hosting account with us. Start by ordering any of our web hosting plans.

  • After the payment is verified, you will receive a setup email within 30 seconds with all the usernames / passwords to grant you server access via your assigned server hostname. Proceed to upload your files to the server via the server's hostname. MAKE SURE YOU PUT EVERYTHING IN YOUR DOMAIN FOLDER and MAKE SURE YOU RENAME YOUR HOMEPAGE "index.html", ALL LOWER CASE. Then use the temporary link provided in the email to view your site.

  • Once you have everything verified, return to the place where you originally registered your domain (your registrar).

  • In your setup email(s) there will be a pair of DNS or Nameservers. Use those DNS to change them for your domain. If you don't have a domain control panel (that is where you usually make these changes) please email your registrar or call and tell them to change your name servers to those provided to you in your setup email from us.

  • After the DNS changes have been made, your domain will now begin to point to your server with Host Department. This will take 24-72 hours to resolve worldwide as every ISP updates their DNS at different times.

  • If after 48 hours you cannot access your domain via www.yourdomain.com, please do a whois on your domain HERE to make sure your name servers show up as those provided in your setup email. If they do not, call your registrar right away to get it corrected

Domain Name Transfer Procedure

Here you will find the steps involved to transfer domain name from one registrar to another.If you have couple of domain names, it is better to keep all of them in a single registrar.

Below mentioned steps are common and can be applied to all the top domain registrars.

1. Purchase Domain Transfer At The Your New Registrar

Normally if you purchase a domain transfer, your new registrar will let you to keep all the time remaining on your existing registration and provide One-Year free extension. After the purchase of domain transfer, your domain at the new registrar will require an Authorization Code. Your new registrar will send an email to you which contains “Transaction ID” and “Security Code”.

2. Request Authorization Code At Current Registrar

Login to your current registrar account and request for Authorization Code. But remember you should have turned off the domain protection or your domain should be unlocked before requesting the authorization code from the current registrar.

3. Authorization Code Received From Current Registrar
You will receive an email from current registrar with “Authorization Code”. Now you can begin the domain transfer from the new registrar using the authorization code. Login to your new registrar and begin the transfer process. Then the new registrar will display the status as “Authorization Required” and choose “ Begin Transfer Authorization”(Recommended).

Now enter the authorization code that you received from the current registrar through mail and complete the process. After completing this step, the status will be displayed as “Pending Current Registrar approval” and choose “Accept transfer at current registrar” (Recommended).

4. Email Notification From Current Registrar
After completing all these steps, you will receive an email from your current registrar confirming your transfer request. You don’t need to take any action if you want to accept the transfer. If you wish to cancel the transfer, follow the link provided in the email.

You will receive an email like this :

"We received notification on November 5, 2008 5:11:27 PM EDT that you have requested to transfer to another domain name registrar. If you would like to proceed with this transfer you do not need to respond to this message…..

…..If we do not hear from you by November 10, 2008 5:11:27 PM EDT, this transfer will proceed.  We are committed to providing you with the solutions, services, and support to help you succeed online. We hope to continue serving you in the future.
