Website Migration

At idomainHOST, we realize that this can often be hard and time–consuming. This is why we will perform all that for you at no cost!Our highly experienced technical staff reps will transfer your web site content from your present provider to us.

After that, we will instruct you how to move the domain name over to your hosting account with us and how to change the DNS resource records.
