Step-by-step migration guide

[Anastasia_Ning_Support]

 

1) Getting started with Ning 3.0 network

Firstly, we will create a blank website on the Ning 3.0 platform for you. This way you will not spend a single day of your 14-day trial period on waiting till all the data is transferred to the new platform. 

 

2) Launching content migration from your Ning 2.0!

We will copy all the content and transfer it to Ning 3.0 network. It includes all the photos, videos, posts, forums, groups, events, articles, pages, messages, comments, and other data. The duration of this step mostly depends on the quantity of the data you have on your 2.0 website.

 

3) First steps towards new layout and design

We can discuss your preferences in terms of design and help you create a brand new network style with the assistance of our developer or recreate the design from your Ning 2.0 website.

 

4) Start of the trial period

Once everything is settled, we activate an agreed billing plan with a 14-days free trial. You can use this time to get acquainted with the new platform, check all the features and the migrated content, and get ready to move your members to the updated network.

 

Here are plans for both platforms:

*If none of the Ning 3.0 plans suit your needs, a custom plan may be negotiated.

 

5) Final stage

At the final stage of the migration process, our team updates the content on Ning 3.0 (we will migrate all the content that was added to your 2.0 network during 3rd and 4th steps), switches URLs between your Ning 2.0 and Ning 3.0 network and helps you with setting up your custom domain. Finally, upon your request, we cancel Ning 2.0 website and credit your account`s balance* for unused time.

*the credit will be added to your ning.com account and can be used towards upcoming payments for the subscription(s)

Hi there!

We do not have such list at the moment, but I will advise with the migration manager if we can compound one.

Hello, and GA, in your response you stated and so on. Would we be able to add new pages, events, notes, and the HTML on the main page to design certain areas? Would all the information from each group get migrated over? We have 9 years worth of information in groups, forum, videos, materiel, blogs, pictures, and other items, we are not trying to lose. Also, we own our name, would our original domain name get migrated over as well?

[Anastasia_Ning_Support]

Hello!

The answer to all of these questions is "yes". It is possible to design different areas of the website, all group information will be transferred to the 3.0 website, and of course, you will keep the original domain.

Best regards,
The NING Team
