How to Migrate Your Website to SNBD HOST
Free, hassle-free website migration with zero downtime. Whether you have one site or fifty, our team handles the entire transfer.
Free Migration, Zero Downtime
Moving your website to a new host sounds complicated, but it doesn't have to be. SNBD HOST offers free migration for all new customers. Our technical team handles the entire process — files, databases, email accounts, and DNS configuration — with zero downtime.
Your website stays live on your old host until the migration is verified and DNS is switched over. At no point during the process is your site offline.
What Gets Migrated
Our migration covers everything you need to run your website on SNBD HOST:
- All website files — HTML, PHP, images, uploads, and application code
- Databases — MySQL/MariaDB databases with all tables and data
- Email accounts — mailboxes, messages, and email configuration
- SSL certificates — existing SSL setup is preserved or replaced with free AutoSSL
- Cron jobs — scheduled tasks are recreated on the new server
- DNS records — we configure DNS and help you update nameservers at your registrar
The Migration Process, Step by Step
Here's what happens when you request a migration:
- Sign up for an SNBD HOST hosting plan and submit a migration request through the client portal or support ticket.
- Provide your current host's cPanel credentials or FTP/SSH access so our team can access your files and databases.
- Our team copies everything to your new SNBD HOST server. This typically takes 2-24 hours depending on size.
- We verify the migrated site — checking pages, database connections, and email functionality.
- You review the migrated site (via a temporary URL) and confirm everything works.
- DNS is updated to point to SNBD HOST. Your site is now live on the new server.
Migration Timeline
Most single-site migrations complete within 24 hours. Larger migrations (multiple sites, large databases) may take 2-3 days. DNS propagation adds 24-48 hours after the switch.
Migrating WordPress Sites
WordPress is our most commonly migrated platform. Our team uses proven tools and processes to move WordPress sites cleanly:
- Full wp-content directory transfer (themes, plugins, uploads)
- Database export and import with URL/path rewriting if needed
- wp-config.php reconfiguration for the new server
- Plugin compatibility verification on the new environment
- LiteSpeed Cache activation for immediate performance improvement
Migrating from Specific Hosts
We regularly migrate sites from all major hosting providers. Whether you're coming from GoDaddy, Bluehost, Namecheap, Hostinger, or any Bangladeshi hosting company, our process is the same. If your current host uses cPanel, migration is especially smooth since SNBD HOST also runs cPanel.
Coming from a non-cPanel host? No problem. We can migrate from Plesk, DirectAdmin, or any custom panel using FTP/SSH and database exports.
