Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does web site migration mean and what does it include?
A: The web site migration service that we are offering is free of charge (within a certain limit). We will move your website(s) to our first–class cloud hosting platform without you needing to do anything. We know from experience that switching hosting providers can lead to lost data and unwanted downtime. Because of this, we’ll perform all that for you for free!We have highly accomplished administrators whose principal job is to make certain that your website functions precisely as it did on your old hosting platform. Our administrators are well–versed in migrating custom–made websites, as well as websites that are based on well–known apps like WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: Just how long will it take for my web site to be moved to your platform?
A: We try to accomplish all web site migrations ASAP. Even so, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are different factors that you need to take into account – the mere size of your website and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We constantly try to carry out each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller websites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: Do you need anything from me before you start transferring my web site?
A: We’ll require the login details for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the web site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: I give you access to delicate data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we will have with you as a client. We’re dedicated to protecting the safety of the personal details obtained from the clients. To do this, we use technical security measures in order to avoid the loss, the abuse, the modification or the unlawful leakage of the private information under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect and secure the details that we assemble on the web. When we ask customers to submit financial info (for instance, a debit card number), this info is shielded using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.

Q: What about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: No. Your web site will remain reachable online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we will notify you so that you can examine it and check for problems. If everything is okay, all you will need to do is change your domain name’s DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider have to do anything?
A: Nope. Apart from your login credentials for the Control Panel, we won’t need anything. We will never contact your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Which hosting providers can you migrate website content from?
A: We can transfer your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–powered hosting platform given that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only sites that we are unable to transfer are the ones based on closed–source software apps such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
