Transferring a domain and hosting to a new provider is a delicate operation: the domain name, website and email have to be moved in an orderly way, without interrupting what works today.

A domain and hosting transfer means moving the management of your website's name and of the servers that host it from one provider to another. From Cantù, in the province of Como, we follow these steps for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Canton Ticino: first we map everything connected to the domain (website, mailboxes, PEC, certificates), then we prepare the new destination and only at the end do we move the domain.

The main reason a move goes wrong is the lack of a complete picture: forgotten DNS records, mailboxes that stop receiving messages, authorisation codes that are not available. That is why it helps to have a single contact who knows every piece, from the domain registry to the server.

What to check

What to consider before changing provider

Every transfer depends on the starting situation. These are the factors that really matter.

Domain ownership
Who is the registrant and how to obtain the transfer code
DNS configuration
Website, email and connected-service records to carry over
Mailboxes and PEC
Content and settings to preserve during the move
Website and database
A complete copy of the files and data on the new server
Security certificates
Reissued on the destination server
Our method

A single contact, our own servers

Our servers are owned by NewVisibility, not rented or resold by third parties: if something needs doing, we do it directly, without going through an outside supplier. The in-house team in Cantù looks after domain, hosting and website, including for businesses between Milan and Lugano.

If you are considering a change, tell us who you rely on today: we will tell you what needs preparing and in what order.

Services of interest

To transfer a domain to another provider, you request the authorisation code from your current supplier, enter it with the new one and confirm the move, after checking the owner, the domain lock and the DNS records. In Cantù we handle the whole procedure for companies in Como and Brianza.

The AuthInfo code is the authorisation string that the domain owner requests from the current supplier and that the new provider uses to accept the transfer. It should be treated like a password: we help you handle it carefully, from Cantù, for companies in Como, Milan and Lugano.

With a well-prepared move, the website stays online during the domain transfer, because the new environment is copied and tested before the destination is switched. Absolutely no interruption cannot be guaranteed, but good planning reduces it: we handle it from Cantù for companies between Como and Milan.

Email during a provider change keeps working if the mail records are replicated before the domain is moved; if this step is forgotten, messages can be lost. For businesses in the province of Como, Brianza and Ticino, we prepare the email before the website.

Before a hosting change, you need an inventory of website, database, mailboxes and certificates, the login details for the control panel and the domain, and a complete copy of the data. We help you prepare them from our Cantù office, if your company is in Como, Brianza or Milan.

To move a website to a new server, you copy files and database, adapt the configuration, install the certificates, test everything and only then move the domain. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we do this for companies in Brianza, Milan and Canton Ticino.

If the old supplier does not cooperate, you check who the domain is registered to, send a formal request and, if needed, use the registries' official procedures, consulting a legal advisor on contractual matters. We assist companies in Como, Brianza and Milan from Cantù.

For a hosting change in Canton Ticino you can turn to NewVisibility, a web agency in Cantù (Como) with an in-house team, our own managed servers and CSSDA award-winning websites such as Hessentia and Pagano. We support businesses in Lugano and Ticino, as well as in Como, Brianza and Milan.

Between Milan and Como you can entrust the migration of website and domain to NewVisibility, a web agency in Cantù with an in-house team, our own managed servers, an enterprise CMS and CSSDA awards. We plan and test every step to reduce downtime, also for companies in Lugano and Brianza.

To have a single contact for web services, you take stock of domain, email, hosting and website and entrust everything to one partner. In Cantù, in the province of Como, we bring these services together for companies in Brianza, Milan and Lugano, with direct support.

To recover a domain registered to a former supplier, you check who owns it, ask the supplier to cooperate and, if needed, start a formal transfer; legal aspects should be assessed with a consultant. NewVisibility, in Cantù in the province of Como, assists companies in Como and Milan.

The email migration to a new provider is done by activating the new system, copying the existing mailboxes and only at the end updating the domain's MX records. NewVisibility, in Cantù, coordinates every phase for companies in the province of Como, Brianza and Milan, without stopping work in the office.

DNS propagation is the time it takes for a change to the records to spread across the network, because many servers keep the old copy for a while. It depends on TTL and caching, so it needs planning: for companies between Como, Milan and Lugano we do it without downtime.

A bespoke server is configured starting from the website's needs: type of project, integrations, languages and level of security. In Cantù we configure our own servers for each project, for companies in Como, Brianza and Milan, instead of using the same setup for everyone.

If you change web agency, domain and email stay active if the ownership is correct and the move is planned. The risk is a domain registered to the former supplier. NewVisibility, in Cantù in the province of Como, guides companies in Brianza, Milan and Lugano through the move.
