Website Migration

Q: Why do I have to move my website? What does website migration involve?
A: The web site migration service that we are offering is free of charge (within a certain limit). We’ll transfer your website(s) to our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from experience that swapping web hosting providers can result in lost data and unnecessary network downtime. This is the reason why we will accomplish all that for you for free!We’ve got experienced administrators whose only task is to ensure that your website performs precisely as it did on your previous hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in migrating custom–made sites, as well as sites that are based upon popular web apps like Joomla™ and WordPress.

Q: How long will the website migration process take?
A: We strive to perform all web site migrations as quickly as possible. However, we don’t have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are certain aspects that you have to take into account – the very size of your website and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We always try to perform each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized web sites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: My personal privacy is crucial to me. What info do you need?
A: We will require the login details for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the website’s name (domain name).
-
Q: You will access sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: Before we can start the transfer of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose essentially the same details you have provided to your present web hosting provider. We also have a very rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes how delicate info is dealt with.
-
Q: How about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: Your site will work just like it did before with your old web hosting provider. When we are done with the migration, your website will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If everything is working correctly, all you will have to do is modify the name server resource records for your domain name. Your site will be migrated over to us without any downtime.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider discover that I am leaving them?
A: Nope. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the web site migration either.
-
Q: Which web hosting providers can you transfer data from?
A: We support all Linux–based web hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can access your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website building platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
