Moving from Argeweb
Do you have your website, email or domain with Argeweb and want to move to WebOké? At Argeweb, you manage everything in Mijn Argeweb (My Argeweb). Argeweb offers hosting packages with DirectAdmin and with Plesk, so first check which panel your package uses.
Below you can see where to find everything you need for the move at Argeweb. We checked this on 9 November 2026 in Argeweb's public help pages. Menus and names may have changed since then. If you see something different, check Argeweb's help pages or ask Argeweb.
At a glance
| What | Where do you find it at Argeweb? |
|---|---|
| Customer portal | Mijn Argeweb |
| Transfer code | Administratief (Administrative) › Domeinnaam wegverhuizen (Transfer domain name away) |
| Website backup | Beheren (Manage) › Webhosting (Web hosting) › your domain › Geavanceerd (Advanced) › Backups, or via FTP |
| Database backup | phpMyAdmin, via your package's panel |
| DNS and nameservers | Beheren › Domeinnaam (Domain name) › your domain |
| IMAP server | mail.argewebhosting.nl (a different server address for a Plesk package) |
| Cancelling | via Argeweb's customer service |
The transfer code
- Log in to Mijn Argeweb and go to Administratief › Domeinnaam wegverhuizen.
- Click your domain and choose Vraag token aan (Request token) or Wegverhuizen via e-mail (Transfer away by email).
- Argeweb removes any lock from the domain and sends you a confirmation with the transfer code within 24 hours.
Argeweb itself points out that requesting the transfer code is not the same as cancelling. Arrange the transfer first, and only cancel your domain after that.
Backing up your website and database
- Via Mijn Argeweb: go to Beheren › Webhosting › your domain › Geavanceerd › Backups, enter your FTP password and click Maak back-up (Create backup). You get the backup as a download.
- With FTP: connect with an FTP program to ftp.jouwdomein.nl, port 21. Your website is in the public_html folder.
- Database: open phpMyAdmin in your package's panel, select the database and click Export. This gives you a .sql file.
DNS and nameservers
You'll find your domain's DNS and nameservers in Mijn Argeweb under Beheren › Domeinnaam › your domain. That's also where the nameservers button is. According to Argeweb, a nameserver change can take 24 to 48 hours. Want to keep the domain at Argeweb? Then point the nameservers to WebOké's, see Only switching the nameservers or DNS.
Your email
In the email migration tool, under Other provider, use the IMAP server mail.argewebhosting.nl, port 993 with SSL. Your username is your full email address. Do you have a Plesk package? Then, according to Argeweb, you have a different server address. You'll find it in Plesk in your mailbox settings.
Cancelling
- At Argeweb, you cancel via customer service. You receive a confirmation by email and the product ends on its end date.
- According to Argeweb, subscriptions run for one year and are then renewed. Check the terms of your own subscription for the notice period.
- After the end date, Argeweb deletes your mail, website files and data. So make sure everything is at WebOké first.
- At Argeweb, a hosting package is linked to a domain name. If you transfer the domain but want to keep the package for a while, Argeweb says you can link the package to a different domain name.
