Get Ready

Stuck at a huge hosting company that offers no technical support or lacks integrity? Caught in the middle between a freelance webmaster and their full-time job? Switching to E-zekiel is easier than you might think. Here are the primary things you’ll need to consider when switching from another provider to E-zekiel:

Your Domain Name (URL)

There are many services and hosting companies who will secure your domain for you. If you purchased your own domain name in the past – you can repoint it to any hosting company you choose. If your current hosting company secured your domain name for you and you’d like to switch to E-zekiel, simply ask them to “unlock” your domain.

Your Web Design

Depending on your current provider, you may be using a template provided by your host or you may even have a custom design. E-zekiel offers hundreds of professional designs for you to choose from at no additional cost. If you currently have a custom design, we will be glad to transfer your design to your new E-zekiel site. A one-time fee is charged to transfer an existing design (fee based on complexity of design, contact us for a quote). But remember, this is an option – you are welcome to use any of hundreds of professional designs available in E-zekiel or use our Designs manager (requires knowledge of CSS) at no additional charge.

We can also assist you with transfer transferring your current content, including all text and images, to your new site. The fee for this service is $15 per page.

Current Web Features

Hosting companies offer different features based on their primary audiences. You can very easily compare your current provider to E-zekiel by reviewing the plan comparison or by signing up for a trial account. Having a trial account will allow you to compare E-zekiel to your current provider for 30 days with no duplicate expenses.

Contracts

Some hosting companies offer low prices in return for your signing up for a long period of time. If you’re thinking of switching to E-zekiel, be sure you’re aware of any contract or agreement obligations you may have with your current provider. Cancellation fees and non-reimbursement for contract periods are most common.

It’s easy to switch to E-zekiel. In most cases, an entire site can be moved or rebuilt in a few days to a week – depending on the size, volume and complexity of the site.
