Migration from DC-Hosting Windows to Astutium Linux plans

 

1. Sign up for the new Linux hosting plan of your choice (Personal-2 is the equivalent package) at https://astutium.com/web-hosting/personal-web-hosting-linux.php *DON'T PAY THE INVOICE*
2. Put in the notes/comment field that you are moving from DC-Hosting and supply your DC Hosting account number. We will then adjust the due-dates on the account to take account of payments for the Windows hosting and void the new invoice.
3. Upload your content to the new server using the temporary access details that will be in the welcome email or update the ticket if you want us to copy over your current site.
4. Setup any required email addresses in the new temporary control panel.
5. Create a support ticket when done and we'll "switch" the accounts over - or you can do it any time by clicking "my domains" then "view/edit" in the Astutium client portal and set the nameservers to those in your welcome email.
6. Once it's all switched over log into the DC-Hosting control panel and select billing/cancel to delete the old site and stop it doing any further charging for the old account.
7. If you have any problems/questions/help needed during the process please create a support ticket.
