How to Import a Website to Site.pro

Most website owners stick to one hosting and don’t think they have a reason to migrate. But it can quickly change. Be it the rising prices, poor maintenance or bad SEO, there are many reasons to switch your hosting provider and move your website to another platform.

Importing a website will open lots of new possibilities to boost its performance and make it better optimized for search engines.

What are the Ways of Transferring a Website?

There are three main ways of transferring a website.

You can either do it manually, or delegate this task to your new hosting service. All of them have their pros and cons.

Manual transferring 

To transfer a website manually you need to move all the files, make a copy of your database, and change the nameserver of the website’s domain. An error can occur at any moment even if you’re very attentive.

Pros

• Gives you full control over the process
• Can possibly save you some money

Cons

• Requires technical skills
• Can be tedious and time-consuming
• If something goes wrong you have to start over on your own

Transferring with a new hosting service
To transfer a website through a new hosting you have to contact the service. You will be asked to allow access to all the files and data, and then you will spend time waiting which can be an inconvenience.

Pros

• You delegate the process to professionals
• You can contact the customer support in case of an error

Cons

• Not every platform has an website import option
• Can be expensive
• You may be required to pay extra for parking your domain

Remember: you should always back-up your files before attempting to import a website.
