Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I need to move my site? What does web site migration consist of?
A: The web site migration service that we are offering is free of charge (to a certain extent). We’ll transfer your site(s) to our next–generation cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from personal experience that swapping web hosting providers can result in lost info and undesirable network downtime. For this reason, we will accomplish all that for you at no cost!We’ve got highly capable administrators whose only job is to make sure that your web site works exactly 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 famous apps like WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: How much time will the website migration process take?
A: There are many factors to bear in mind – the overall amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. That being said, we do try to implement all web site migrations in a 48–hour time frame. Smaller sites are migrated much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.
-
Q: My privacy is vital to me. What information do you need?
A: We’ll need the login information for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: My old hosting account has sensitive data inside. How can I trust you?
A: User privacy is among our paramount responsibilities – because of this, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–level Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial operations to secure the details that we receive on the Internet. And we’ve got a detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we collect.
-
Q: Will there be any downtime for my web site?
A: Your site will work exactly like it did before with your former hosting provider. After we are done with the transfer, your site will be configured to work on our platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If it is functioning correctly, all you will need to do is change the name server resource records for your domain name. Your site will be migrated over to us with no downtime.
-
Q: Will my old hosting provider discover that I am leaving them?
A: While we move your content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will never contact them in any way.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present provider is using?
A: Yes. We support all common Linux–based web hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–based web hosting platforms, as we do not offer Windows hosting solutions ourselves.Additionally, we do not support proprietary website creation and management tools like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
