Website Migration

Q: What exactly does web site migration mean and what does it include?
A: The website migration service that we are offering is free of charge (to a certain extent). We will move your site(s) to our topflight cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from experience that changing web hosting providers can result in lost info and unwanted downtime. That’s why we’ll accomplish all that for you for free!We have capable administrators whose main responsibility is to make certain that your website works precisely as it did on your previous web hosting platform. Our administrators are well–versed in migrating custom–built web sites, as well as web sites that are based upon well–known scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress.

Q: Just how long will the website migration process take?
A: We strive to perform all website migrations as quickly as possible. However, we don’t have a set time frame for website migrations. There are certain factors that you need to consider – the sheer size of your website and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always strive to carry out each migration in under 48 hours. With smaller web sites, our staff typically manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: My privacy is important to me. What info do you need?
A: We don’t gather any personal info. We will require, though, the login info for your old web hosting account along with the name of the web site that you’d like to migrate.

Q: I give you access to sensitive info. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Before we can start the transfer of your account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose practically the same info you have given to your present web hosting provider. We also have a very strict Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data is used.

Q: Will my website be offline during the migration?
A: No. Your web site will continue to be accessible online during the transfer. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we will notify you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is alright, all you will have to do is change your domain’s DNS resource records.

Q: Will my present hosting provider need to do anything?
A: No. We’ll never get in touch with your hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the website migration either.

A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. Generally, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website management platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
