Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does web site migration imply and what does it include?
A: The website migration service that our company is offering is free of cost (within a certain limit). We will move your site(s) to our topflight cloud hosting platform without you needing to do anything. We know from personal experience that swapping hosting providers can result in lost information and unnecessary network downtime. This is why we will accomplish all that for you at no cost!We’ve got skillful administrators whose only task is to ensure that your web site works exactly as it did on your previous web hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in migrating custom–built web sites, as well as web sites that are based on well–known apps such as Joomla™ and WordPress.

Q: How long will it take for my web site to be moved over to your platform?
A: We strive to accomplish all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Yet, we don’t have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are certain aspects that you have to take into consideration – the mere size of your website and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We constantly try to perform each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller sites, our team typically manages to finish within 24 hours.
-
Q: What data will I be required to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: We do not need any private data. We will need, however, the login info for your old web hosting account along with the name of the website that you would like to migrate.
-
Q: I give you access to sensitive info. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: In order for us to 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 share essentially the same information you have given to your previous host. We also have a very rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes how personal information is used.
-
Q: How about downtime? Will my website be offline?
A: No. Your site will continue to be available online during the migration. As soon as everything is done on our end, we will let you know so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything’s fine, all you will have to do is modify your domain’s DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my present hosting provider need to provide any information/help?
A: While we move your content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We won’t touch base with them in any way.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present provider is using?
A: We can transfer your site from any hosting provider or any Linux–based hosting platform on condition that we can receive access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we are unable to transfer are those based on closed–source software apps such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
