Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does website migration mean and what does it include?
A: The website migration service that our company is offering is free of charge (within a certain limit). We’ll transfer your site(s) to our enterprise–class cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from experience that swapping hosting providers can result in lost data and unnecessary network downtime. For this reason, we will perform all that for you at no cost!We have trained administrators whose chief task is to make certain that your website performs precisely as it did on your former hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in migrating custom–built sites, as well as sites that are based upon famous scripts like Joomla™ and WordPress.

Q: Web site migration sounds like a lot of work. Just how long will it take?
A: We try to carry out all web site migrations as fast as possible. Still, we do not have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are several facets that you have to take into account – the mere size of your website and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We constantly strive to perform each migration in under 48 hours. With smaller sites, our staff usually manages to finish in under 24 hours.
-
Q: Do you require anything from me before you begin transferring my site?
A: Yep. We will require the name of the site that you wish us to move. We’ll also need a way to log into your current hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your web site.
-
Q: I give you access to sensitive info. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Client privacy is truly one of our top responsibilities – that is why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–class Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial operations to secure the details that we receive on the web. And we’ve got a detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we collect.

Q: Will my website be unavailable during the transfer?
A: Your web site will work exactly like it did before with your previous hosting provider. When we are through with the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our system and we will ask you to preview it. If it is functioning properly, all you will have to do is change the name server records pertaining to your domain name. Your website will be migrated to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my present hosting provider have to do anything?
A: No. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider about anything at all. They will not be aware of the website transfer either.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. Generally, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to migrate your site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website building platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
