Website Migration
-
Q: What does the website migration service consist of? Will my website be secure?
A: The web site migration service that we are offering is free of charge (to a certain extent). We will migrate your site(s) to our top–of–the–line cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from experience that switching hosting providers can result in lost info and unnecessary network downtime. That’s why we will perform all that for you for free!We have highly capable administrators whose main task is to ensure that your web site performs precisely as it did on your previous hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in migrating custom–built web sites, as well as web sites that are based on famous scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress.

Q: Just how long will it take for my website to be transferred to your platform?
A: We strive to accomplish all website migrations as quickly as possible. Yet, we don’t have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are different aspects that you have to take into consideration – the sheer size of your web site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We constantly strive to accomplish each migration in less than 48 hours. With less sizeable sites, our staff typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

Q: My personal privacy is crucial to me. What details do you need?
A: We will need the login information for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the web site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: The login info for my hosting account is delicate. How can I trust you?
A: Before we can begin the migration of your hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose the very same info you have provided to your old host. We also have an extremely rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies how personal information is used.
-
Q: Will there be any downtime for my website?
A: While we migrate your web site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. When the transfer is complete, we will make sure that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your content is not jeopardized before informing you that the migration is done. After that, we will instruct you how to transfer the domain name over to your hosting account with us and how to update your DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider need to provide any information/help?
A: While we transfer your web content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We won’t touch base with them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: Yep. We support all conventional Linux–driven web hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–driven web hosting platforms, since we don’t provide Windows web hosting services ourselves.Additionally, we do not support proprietary website creation and administration user interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
