HostHuski

Website migration request

Tell us how to reach the WordPress site you want moved. Your current website stays online. You do not change DNS before the migration.

Password verification

Test every password before you submit it. That saves a round of back-and-forth. The information is sent over HTTPS and is used only to perform this migration. Passwords are emailed to HostHuski and are not stored in this form’s database.

Your information

First name

Last name

For best results, use your HostHuski account email. Make sure it is valid so migration updates can reach you.

HostHuski account email or account reference

Optional. Include this when it is different from the email above, so we can match the request to your account.

Your domain

Your domain is the address people use to open the website, such as example.com.

Domain

Would you like HostHuski to handle the website DNS change? Yes. Do it after the new site has been tested. No. I will change the website DNS myself after you tell me testing is complete.

HostHuski restores and tests the website before any DNS change. You do not need to change nameservers or address records beforehand. Public DNS keeps pointing at your current website until testing is finished. If you ask us to handle DNS, we change only the records needed to point the website at its new server. Email records stay as they are unless you explicitly ask us to change them.

Do you use email at this domain? Yes No I don’t know

HostHuski migrates the website only. We do not move mailboxes as part of this request, and we will not change MX or other email records unless you give separate written authorization. Leave email DNS records as they are.

Who manages the domain registration? Who manages DNS?

Domain registrar

Where did you buy the domain? Enter the registrar’s website.

Do you use GoDaddy?

If GoDaddy is the registrar, you can delegate access instead of typing the password. Share access with info@hosthuski.com. See GoDaddy’s delegate instructions.

Delegation can avoid a registrar two-factor prompt. If the delegation is incomplete, the migration may take a little longer.

I will delegate access to my GoDaddy account to info@hosthuski.com.

I don’t have the registrar password, or it is not applicable.

Registrar username

The username or customer ID you use at the registrar.

Registrar password Confirm registrar password

Previous hosting

We use this only if we cannot sign in to WordPress directly.

Is the site already hosted with HostHuski? No Yes

Current hosting provider

Where is the site hosted now? A website address such as the provider’s site is fine.

Hosting control panel URL I don’t have the hosting password, or it is not applicable.

Hosting username Hosting password Confirm hosting password

Is the cPanel login different from the hosting account? No Yes

I don’t have a separate cPanel password.

cPanel username cPanel password Confirm cPanel password

Hosting notes

WordPress access

We use this first to reach the site. The source and destination use the same domain. This request does not move a site onto a different domain or launch a staging site.

Current website URL

How do we log in to WordPress? Normal: /wp-admin/ or /wp-login.php Special page: I’ll provide the login URL

I can’t provide a WordPress administrator password right now.

WordPress administrator username or email

You can create an administrator just for this migration if you prefer.

Administrator password Confirm administrator password

Anything else we should know?

Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication sends a short-lived code by email, text, or an authenticator app. You do not have to turn it off to submit this request. If it is enabled, we will coordinate with you when access is needed.

I have disabled two-factor authentication on the accounts I am providing. These accounts do not use two-factor authentication, as far as I know. Two-factor authentication is enabled. I will coordinate with HostHuski when access is needed. My domain provider is HostHuski. I don’t know whether two-factor authentication is enabled.

Please read this before you submit

HostHuski will copy the website and restore that copy for testing. We will not treat the migration as finished until the restored site has been reviewed. The public domain keeps pointing at the current website until the tested copy is ready and the website DNS change is made. Putting the source site in maintenance mode is optional and is not turned on unless our team chooses it during the copy. Recent edits made while the copy is running can be missed.

I have tested the login URLs, usernames, and passwords I provided and confirm they are valid. Where I marked credentials as unavailable or not applicable, I understand HostHuski may need to contact me before the migration can continue. I am authorized to grant HostHuski access to this website and the accounts included in this request. I authorize HostHuski to migrate this WordPress website by copying its database and wp-content files and restoring that copy onto HostHuski hosting. I authorize HostHuski to change website-related DNS records for this domain after the migrated site has been restored and tested, if I asked HostHuski to handle DNS. If I chose to handle DNS myself, I will make that website DNS change only after HostHuski confirms testing is complete. Email-related DNS records, including MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, will remain unchanged unless I separately authorize those changes. I will not change DNS before testing is finished. I understand this migration may require temporary access to the existing WordPress installation and hosting environment. The public domain will keep pointing at the current website until testing is finished and the DNS cutover is done. The source website is not taken offline automatically. I understand HostHuski will not treat the migration as finished until the restored website has been reviewed. A copy can miss changes made on the source site while the copy is being taken. I will not hold HostHuski liable for problems caused by the existing website, its previous host, or changes made during the copy.
