I want to transfer my site from one server to another.
I think nothing will goes wrong.
The only issue is that the account has 35GB. The source server is in US. The destination is in Europe. I do not see that as a big of a deal.
So I start my transfer. Then I see a checkbox saying express transfer. I do not know what it is. I suppose it transfer more quickly. I guess it's saver. So I check it.
This is what it does.
It mess up the account in the original server for who knows what. Also it does that in the BEGINNING of the transfer, not after everything is okay.
I do not understand why would anyone want to do so? Usually we copy account to the destination server and then we change the name server right? Until we change the name server in registrar there will be no way the domains point to the new server anyway?
So my sites are down.
The only way to fix that is to terminate the account and restore from back up, which also takes a very long time. My sites are down for 1 day. I lost most of my search engine ranking.
I think it should be marked as dangerous. People must know what it does. The word express transfer is also misleading. It should be "screw the original"
