Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does web site migration mean and what does it entail?
A: The website migration service that we are offering is free (within a certain limit). We’ll transfer your site(s) to our avant–garde cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from personal experience that changing web hosting providers can lead to lost info and undesirable network downtime. For this reason, we will do all that for you for free!We have highly knowledgeable administrators whose only responsibility is to make sure that your website works exactly as it did on your old hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in transferring custom–built websites, as well as websites that are based upon famous apps like WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: Just how long will the website migration process take?
A: There are a lot of factors to take into consideration – the overall amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. However, we do try to perform all web site migrations in a 48–hour time window. Less sizeable sites are migrated faster – usually in less than 24 hours.

Q: Do you need something from me before you start moving my site?
A: We do not need any private info. We will need, though, the login information for your present hosting account as well as the name of the website that you’d like to move.
-
Q: I give you access to sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Before we can start the migration of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to share virtually the same info you have given to your old web hosting provider. We’ve also got a very rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies how delicate data is tackled.
-
Q: What about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: Nah. Your site will stay visible online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we’ll tell you so that you can examine it and check for problems. If everything’s okay, all you will have to do is update your domain’s DNS records.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider need to provide any information/help?
A: No. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the website migration either.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present provider is using?
A: We can migrate your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–based web hosting platform as long as we can obtain access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only sites that we can’t transfer are the ones based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
