Website Migration
-
Q: Why should I transfer my website? What does website migration consist of?
A: The web site migration service that we are offering is free of cost (within a certain limit). We’ll move your web site(s) to our ultra–modern cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from experience that swapping web hosting providers can result in lost data and undesirable network downtime. This is the reason why we will accomplish all that for you for free!We’ve got highly knowledgeable administrators whose main task is to ensure that your web site performs exactly as it did on your old hosting platform. The administrators are experts in migrating custom–built web sites, as well as web sites that are based on popular scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress.
-
Q: Just how long will the web site migration procedure take?
A: We strive to carry out all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Yet, we do not have a set time frame for website migrations. There are several factors that you have to take into consideration – the mere size of your website and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We always try to accomplish each migration in under 48 hours. With less sizeable sites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: Do you need something from me before you begin moving my site?
A: We will need the login information for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: The login details for my hosting account are sensitive. How can I rely on you?
A: Customer privacy is one of our foremost responsibilities – this is why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–level SSL certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative operations to secure the details that we assemble on the Internet. And we’ve got a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: Will my site be offline during the transfer?
A: Your site will work exactly like it did before with your former hosting provider. After we are through with the transfer, your site will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If it is functioning correctly, all you will have to do is modify the NS records for your domain name. Your site will be transferred to us without any downtime.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider learn that I am leaving them?
A: While we move your content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will never get in touch with them in any way.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present hosting provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–driven hosting platforms. Generally, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your website.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website building platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
