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 numerous 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). 

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 $20 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 and complexity of the site.
