If your previous web hosting provider uses cPanel/WHM we can automatically move your files over to our server. Please contact us via our helpdesk. Please be sure to include the IP address of your previous server, the account username and the account password.

However, we can guide you during the transfer. In some cases, the cPanel/WHM automatic account transfer fails, in this case, you will need to download a backup of your site via your previous host's cPanel and then upload that backup through your new madRooster.com cPanel.

We do not place a set limit of accounts per server. We take into consideration the hardware configuration of each particular server and then place an appropriate number of accounts on it.

We constantly monitor our servers and the overall load to ensure the best performance for your website.
