Moving or Pushing a Web Hosting Order from one Control Panel to another

You can move a Web Hosting Order along with all its related Services from your existing Customer Control Panel to another Customer, by following the steps mentioned below:

1. Login into your Control Panel, search for the Web Hosting Order and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to find instructions to accomplish this >>

2. Click Move Services link on the top right-hand side of the screen, to initiate the process.

3. Here, you would have to mention the following details:

  • the Customer Username (Email Address)* of the Customer account where you wish to move the Web Hosting Order.

  • the Customer ID of this account. The Customer ID is a unique number associated with a Customer's Profile. If you do not know the Customer ID of the new account, you can find it in Settings -> Primary Profile in the new Customer Control Panel.

4. Select whether you wish to retain the existing Contact Details after the domain name associated with the Web Hosting Order is moved to the new Customer Control Panel. This will keep the Whois Details of your domain name as is, even after moving the domain name. If you do not select this option, then the Contact Details will change to the Default Contacts of the new Customer Control Panel.

5. Confirm that the Customer account to which you are moving this Web Hosting Order, is the one you really intend to and click on the Confirm button.
 

IMPORTANT
  • *If you are moving the Web Hosting Order to a different Reseller, but have not created a Customer Account under that Reseller, you can easily do so by clicking on the Sign Up link on the new Reseller's site and filling up the form. You can then use the Customer ID, which appears on the success page, along with the Username (Email Address) to move your Web Hosting Order to the Customer Control Panel you have just created.
     
  • If you purchased a Web Hosting Order for a .EU domain name, you need to first complete moving your .EU domain name. Once the action of moving your .EU domain name is complete, you can move the Web Hosting Order to the new Customer by following the process explained above.

  • If you have purchased a Web Hosting Order for a .UK domain name, then you cannot move this Order since changing the Registrant Contact constitutes changing the ownership identity of the domain name, which is a billable action.
     
  • Third level .ME domain names can be registered only by Montenegrin individuals and entities. Hence, if you are moving a Web Hosting Order for a Third level .ME domain name, do ensure that the Customer to whom you are moving the Web Hosting Order has the Default Registrant Contact as a Montenegrin individual or entity.
     
  • Since move operation is currently not supported for domain names under the following extensions, you would not be able to move any Web Hosting Order associated with them:
     
    • .ASIA
    • .TEL

 

You may encounter an error while attempting to Move Services for a Web Hosting Order, if:

A. One or more Services for this domain name are currently being processed,

or

B. There is a Pending Invoice for any Service associated with this domain name,

or

C. There are one or more Services under another Customer of this [new] Reseller. For example, you have purchased Web Hosting for yourdomainname.com through your Customer Control Panel with Visionsmind and have purchased Email Hosting Service for yourdomainname.com through Reseller B [from your Customer Control Panel] under the Customer Account of X. Now if you try to move this Email Hosting Order to another Customer Control Panel [say Customer Account of Y] under Reseller B, you will encounter an error.

or

D. One or more Products/Services are currently under the Money Back Period. (This would imply that deletion of that particular Product/Service would entitle you to a refund.)

In any of the above cases, the Moving or Pushing of the domain name is not possible and you will have to either:

  • wait for the processing to complete, or
  • Cancel any Pending process.
