These guys are simply the best!

We moved 100 of our cPanel websites across to HOSTAFRICA, Charl and the team managed to get them all done seamlessly within one day. Best service I've ever received from a hosting company. Looking forward to a very long relationship with your company.

Best Hosting Ever. Period.

Migrated all our emails and domain to HOSTAFRICA. Received the best service ever from Zolani. Kept me informed and updated throughout the entire process. Everything got done without any hiccups! Definitely recommend them as the #1 hosting provider.

Hands-on assistance

We are here to assist you in all aspects of your data move.

Website content

You will have a period of 7 days from your new plan signup/order to request that we transfer content from your previous host. We offer migration assistance for one hosted domain per hosting account you signup for with us.

Migrations are limited to:

cPanel to cPanel (as is) or one domain's hosted content/website and 3 databases whose total size is less than 1GB and up to 5 email addresses, whose total stored and migrated information is less than 5GB.
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.

How do I request this transfer assistance?

You can either add a note during the order process or before you order, email support@hostafrica.com the hosting account type you would like and the domain names you would like to transfer or click here to request a transfer: Our migrations team arranges the account setup, billing and data migration; ensuring a smooth transition to HOSTAFRICA.
