Q: Why do I need to transfer my site? What does web site migration entail?
A: The website migration service that we are offering is free of cost (within a certain limit). We’ll migrate your web site(s) to our super–modern cloud hosting platform without you needing to do anything. We know from experience that changing hosting providers can lead to lost data and unwanted downtime. This is why we will do all that for you for free!We’ve got capable administrators whose chief task is to ensure that your website performs precisely as it did on your previous web hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in migrating custom–built websites, as well as websites that are based on well–known web applications like WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: Web site migration seems like a lot of work. Just how long is it going to take?
A: There are many variables to think about – the overall amount of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Nevertheless, we do our very best to carry out all website migrations in a 48–hour time window. Smaller–sized websites are migrated much faster – usually in less than 24 hours.

Q: My privacy is important to me. What information do you require?
A: Yup. We will need to have the name of the web site that you wish us to migrate. We’ll also need a means to log into your present web hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your website.
-
Q: You will access delicate info. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: Customer privacy is indeed one of our paramount priorities – that is why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–grade SSLs. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative operations to safeguard the info that we gather on the web. And we have a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

Q: Will my site be unavailable during the migration?
A: Your web site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your old hosting provider. When we have finished the migration, your website will be configured to work on our platform and we’ll ask you to preview it. If everything is working correctly, all you will have to do is edit the NS resource records for your domain name. Your website will be migrated over to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider have to do anything?
A: Nope. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not require anything. We’ll never get in touch with your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the transfer either.

Q: Which hosting providers can you migrate data from?
A: We support all Linux–driven web hosting platforms. Fundamentally, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your website.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website management platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
