Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I have to transfer my website? What does website migration consist of?
A: The website migration service that our company is offering is free of cost (to a certain extent). We’ll transfer your web site(s) to our super–modern cloud hosting platform without you needing to do anything. We know from experience that switching hosting providers can result in lost information and undesirable network downtime. That’s the reason why we’ll accomplish all that for you for free!We have highly experienced administrators whose main task is to ensure that your site performs precisely as it did on your old hosting platform. Our administrators are experts in migrating custom–made web sites, as well as web sites that are based on well–known apps such as WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: Website migration sounds like a lot of work. Just how long will it take?
A: There are lots of variables to think about – the total amount of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our web site migration experts, etc. That being said, we do try to carry out all web site migrations in a 48–hour time frame. Smaller websites are transferred much faster – usually within 24 hours.
-
Q: My privacy is essential for me. What info do you require?
A: We don’t request any personal details. We will require, though, the login information for your present hosting account as well as the name of the site that you wish to migrate.
-
Q: The login info for my hosting account is sensitive. How can I trust you?
A: Client privacy is indeed one of our greatest concerns – because of this, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–grade SSLs. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to protect the information that we receive on the World Wide Web. And we have a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we collect.
-
Q: How about downtime? Will my website be unavailable?
A: Your website will work just like it did before with your old hosting provider. As soon as we have completed the transfer, your site will be configured to work on our platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning properly, all you will have to do is edit the name server records for your domain. Your site will be migrated to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my present hosting provider learn that I am leaving them?
A: No. We will never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the website transfer either.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. Generally, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source web site management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
