Q: What precisely does web site migration imply and what does it entail?
A: The web site migration service that we are offering is free (within a certain limit). We’ll move your web site(s) to our first–rate cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from personal experience that changing web hosting providers can result in lost info and undesired network downtime. Because of this, we will accomplish all that for you for free!We have skillful administrators whose main job is to make sure that your web site functions exactly as it did on your old hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in transferring custom–built web sites, as well as web sites that are based upon well–known web applications like Joomla™ and WordPress.

Q: Just how long will it take for my site to be transferred over to your platform?
A: We strive to implement all website migrations as quickly as possible. Even so, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are certain variables that you need to take into account – the mere size of your web site and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We always strive to implement 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 something from me before you start transferring my website?
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: My old hosting account has sensitive info inside. How can I rely on you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we will have with you as a customer. We’re focused on safeguarding the security of the private data obtained from the clients. To achieve this, we employ technical safety measures to avoid the loss, the abuse, the modification or the unauthorized disclosure of the personal info under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative procedures to protect and secure the information that we assemble on the World Wide Web. When we request users to provide financial information (such as a credit card number), this info is protected using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.

Q: Will there be any outage for my web site?
A: Your site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your previous hosting provider. Once we are through with the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning properly, all you will have to do is update the name server resource records pertaining to your domain name. Your web site will be transferred to us without any downtime whatsoever.

Q: Will my current web hosting provider learn that I’m leaving them?
A: While we move your web content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the transfer at all. We will not contact them in any way.

Q: Which web hosting platforms do you support?
A: We can transfer your site from any hosting provider or any Linux–powered hosting platform as long as we can gain access to the Control Panel and there is FTP access available.The only web sites that we cannot migrate are those based on closed–source software apps such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
