Website Migration
-
Q: What does the website migration service entail? Will my site be safe?
A: The web site migration service that our company is offering is free of cost (to a certain extent). We will transfer your site(s) to our ultramodern cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from experience that switching hosting providers can result in lost data and unwanted network downtime. This is why we’ll accomplish all that for you for free!We have proficient administrators whose only task is to ensure that your web site performs precisely as it did on your former web hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in transferring custom–made sites, as well as sites that are based upon popular scripts such as Joomla™ and WordPress.

Q: Web site migration sounds like a lot of work. How long does it take?
A: While we cannot give you an exact time interval, because there are plenty of factors, among them the physical size of the web files and databases, the physical location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your website and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll do our very best to transfer your website within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (if the website content is not large).
-
Q: Do you require something from me before you start moving my web site?
A: We will need the login details for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the web site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: The login info for my hosting account is sensitive. How can I rely on you?
A: Customer privacy is indeed one of our top responsibilities – that’s why, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–class SSLs. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to protect the data that we gather online. And we also have a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: Will my web site be unavailable during the migration?
A: Nope. Your site will remain reachable online during the migration. Once everything is done on our end, we’ll notify you so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s fine, 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: While we move your website content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will not touch base with them in any way.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present hosting provider is using?
A: Yes. We support all standard Linux–powered web hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–driven web hosting platforms, as we don’t provide Windows web hosting solutions ourselves.Furthermore, we don’t support proprietary site creation and management tools like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
