- For accounts that exceed these limits an admin fee may apply. Please contact us for more info.
- Migrating/Converting content of a hosting account to an add-on domain is unfortunately not offered.
- When we migrate from a cPanel host, we will migrate the entire cPanel account or the entire WHM reseller.
Domain transfers
First, we’ll migrate your website content and emails. Second, we’ll request the transfer of your domain name to us. Lastly, once the domain name is transferred, we’ll point your account to our servers.
How long does it take to move to HOSTAFRICA?
Transferring content and initiating the domain name transfers will be processed Monday to Friday, 8am until 4pm (excluding public holidays). Then the domain name transfer is initiated – this process can take anywhere from 1 day to 5 days dependant on the domain name admin allowing the transfer.
