Is your current web host failing to live up to your expectations? Have you finally decided to move your website to a new provider to receive faster support? Or are you sick an tired of being over charged for poor web hosting? HostGator Web Hosting can help.

Aggravated webmasters from all over who have felt these feelings before are tired and ready for someone to impress them and gain their loyalty. Luckily HostGator is here to provide some relief to the overworked IT crowd with their world-class customer service.

As a demonstration of their desire to have your business, HostGator is willing to transfer your entire website to their servers for free. The competition usually provides you with a discount or two, but you are on your own as far as transferring the website databases, HTML code, and dozens of folders of images and code.

Transferring your domain to some of the competition can cost you upwards of $8-$10. File transfer, database duplication and transfer, and shuffling over all the scripts can cost you upwards of $100 or more at the competition. At HostGator Web Hosting, it will cost you exactly nothing – that is how important your business and loyalty is to them.

If you would like to transfer the information yourself, that is perfectly acceptable. To transfer the domain you can go to the website and follow the instructions. Please note that it can take several days, up to a week, to complete a domain name transfer. Once you have begun the domain name transfer process and purchased a new hosting package, it is time to start transferring all the data.

Ensure that you do not cancel your web hosting account at the old web firm before everything is transferred and complete, this is to avoid loosing data and domains. It is recommended that you download all the data from the existing web hosting provider to your personal computer (as a backup copy). The most important part of the back up process is to ensure that you download full and complete copies of your MySQL databases.

At HostGator, you can simply drop the folders into the root directory in the same order as they were on the existing host using your preferred FTP protocol. The MySQL database will require a fresh copy, once it is setup, you can then merge the backed up copy into the fresh MySQL at HostGator. The database merge is usually the tricky part and may require assistance of the HostGator team to ensure a smooth transition.

This is just another reason why so many customers are choosing to go with HostGator.com. HostGator has the best perks in the industry. Whether you use them for domain parking, web hosting, dedicated servers, VPS hosting or as an affiliate or reseller, they are the choice for over 5,000,000 domains and counting.

Avoid the hassles of losing data, files and images. Let the experienced team of HostGator customer service representatives and technicians take care of your treasured website and data during the transfer process. You will never want to use another web hosting provider again!
