FAQ

Why is a transfer necessary?

Our 3rd party supplier of your hosting services are removing their server infrastructure capability. To provide you with continuity of service we will need to move your domain and services to an alternative back end supplier.

Am I required to authorise the domain move?

As the migration involves a changing of infrastructure supplier, we will continue to supply and invoice you for the services, therefore the re-register of the domain will be automatically accepted before the internal move. As holder of the domain, you may (in some cases) receive an email from noreply@opensrs.email advising of the request and asking if you agree to the transfer – this can be accepted beforehand but is not dependent on the move itself.

Will I be given notice of when the migration is going to complete?

Yes, we plan to notify all customers once we have a confirmed completion date agreed with our new back-end supplier.
You will receive your new login details from Portal@eclipse1.co.uk  

During the migration will my website and email services be accessible?

Yes, your website will remain live on both the old and new servers. Once everything has successfully transferred, the old server will be shut down on the confirmed date of 16th January 2026.

Will I need to make changes on how I access the web or email server?

Yes. Due to the nature of the server change, we’ve had to update the portal access details and certain third-party email settings. All affected customers will receive their new credentials before the migration is completed.

Will the migration occur out of hours?

Yes, the main DNS switch will take place out of hours. However, as with any DNS update, propagation can take up to 48 hours. There will be no expected downtime, as the old server will remain online during this period.

If I use my previous portal after the migration will the changes be replicated on the new portal?

No. Once your service is moved to the new portal on the expected date of 16th December, any changes made in the old portal will not be replicated and will fail to process.

How will I know when the migration has completed?

All affected customers will receive an email confirming that the migration has been successfully completed.

Can I back up my Web and Email data before the migration?

Yes. Please follow the backup guides available on our website found here.

Is it possible to roll back to the previous portal?

Due to the nature of this migration, the current supplier is fully decommissioning the existing server on 16th January, meaning rollback is not possible.

Our goal is to ensure everything is fully migrated to the new network one month before this date, providing a buffer period should any additional adjustments be required – though we do not anticipate this will be required. 

Will my billing change?

No, you will continue to be billed as previously.
