For a successful migration we need access to your current TransIP environment. Via our secure migration form you can safely share all the required details with us.
We specifically need: FTP/SFTP details, access to the TransIP control panel, database login credentials and any CMS administrator accounts. Don't worry if you can't find some details right away - we are happy to help you with this.
Fill in the migration form3. Our experts carry out the migration
As soon as we have received your TransIP details, our migration team gets to work. We first make a complete backup of your TransIP website and then transfer all data to your new Theory7 environment.
Important to know: during this process your TransIP website remains fully active and accessible. We work in a staging environment to prevent downtime.
Please note: Avoid making changes to your TransIP website during the migration to prevent data loss.
4. Go live!
After all files, databases, email accounts and settings have been transferred, we invite you to review the migrated website together with us in the staging environment.
Together we verify that everything works correctly and that all content is present. Only once you are satisfied do we finalize the migration by adjusting the DNS settings so that your domain points to your new Theory7 package.
Would you also like to move your domain name from TransIP to Theory7? Then we can arrange that as the final step. For this you need a transfer code that you can request from TransIP.
Transfer domainCancelling TransIP services: Important tips
When you decide to switch to Theory7, it is important to end your TransIP subscription at the right moment. Always wait until your migration is fully completed and your website runs flawlessly at Theory7.
TransIP applies various notice periods, depending on the type of service. For standard web hosting a notice period of 1 month before the renewal date usually applies, while VPS services sometimes have a longer term.
Check the exact renewal date of your package in your TransIP control panel and plan your switch strategically to minimize double costs.
Moving your domain name from TransIP to Theory7
To move your domain name from TransIP to Theory7, you need a secure transfer code (also known as an EPP code or authorization code). This code proves that you are the rightful owner of the domain.
You can obtain this code via the TransIP control panel. Log in to your TransIP account, go to 'Domains', select the relevant domain and click 'Transfer domain' or 'Request auth code'.
Important: moving your domain name is usually the last step in the migration process, after your website is already fully functional on the Theory7 platform. This prevents your website from temporarily becoming unreachable.
