Frequently Asked Questions

General

  • Can I change my billing cycle?

    You can change your billing cycle at any time by contacting our billing department and specifying your preferred billing term. We can either issue a prorated invoice for you to extend your existing cycle, or we can simply change the term and the new rate will be reflected on your next scheduled invoice.

  • What are my payment options?
    We accept all the popular payment methods such as PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amazon Pay, American Express and Google Pay.
  • Is there a difference between a domain transfer and a migration?

    Yes! A domain transfer will move the actual domain registration from another company to us here at OutsetHost. That way you’ll be able to manage hosting as well as domain registration right from our client portal. A migration involves the actual moving of the website content to a new account on our network.

Website Migration

  • How do I request a migration from another hosting provider?

    This article describes how to migrate data from another web hosting provider to yourOutsetHost account. When you migrate from another hosting provider, we recommend that you leave plenty of overlap time (no less than 7 days) between opening your OutsetHost account and closing your previous account. Doing so helps ensure that your web site's downtime is minimal during migration. Our migrations are processed in the order which they have been received. The majority of our migrations are completed within a few hours of the request being received. 

    We take great pride in providing fast migrations. However, several factors, such as the current host's network speed, the number of sites being migrated, and migration complexity can all influence the migration speed. Our Migrations team will keep you informed of your migration's progress.

  • How to migrate email

    This article describes how to migrate e-mail accounts from another web hosting provider to your Outsethost account. The exact method to do this depends on the type of account you had with your previous hosting provider: cPanel accounts: If your account with the previous hosting provider included cPanel, OutsetHost can migrate the entire cPanel account (including e-mail accounts) as long as your A2 Hosting account is empty. Non-cPanel accounts: If your account with your previous hosting provider did not include cPanel, the e-mail data must be migrated manually.

Billing

  • Will my account be suspended for nonpayment?
