Yes, you can transfer your existing website to AwardSpace. In the this article we’ll lead you through the process, but we’ll keep it short. If you need further information you can read our tutorial on How to Transfer a Website to AwardSpace<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Backup Your Website<\/h3>\n

The first step in the process of transferring a website is to make a backup of your website. The backup should include all files, databases, and emails. At this stage, you should still keep your current hosting provider as your files are still there, and if something is missing after you complete the process, you have to be able to access the files.<\/p>\n
