Q: Why do I have to transfer my web site? What does website migration consist of?
A: The website migration service that our company is offering is free (within a certain limit). We’ll move your web site(s) to our super–modern cloud hosting platform without you needing to do anything. We know from personal experience that swapping web hosting providers can lead to lost data and unwanted network downtime. That is the reason why we will do all that for you at no cost!We’ve got highly experienced administrators whose only task is to ensure that your site works precisely as it did on your old hosting platform. The administrators are experts in migrating custom–made web sites, as well as web sites that are based upon popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: How long will the website migration procedure take?
A: We try to accomplish all web site migrations as fast as possible. However, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are certain variables that you need to take into consideration – the actual size of your web site and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We constantly try to carry out each migration within 48 hours. With less sizeable websites, our team usually manages to finish in under 24 hours.

Q: Do you need anything from me before you begin transferring my web site?
A: Yup. We will require the name of the website that you wish us to migrate. We will also need a means to log into your present hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your website.

Q: I give you access to delicate data. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we will have with you as a customer. We are dedicated to protecting the security of the private details gathered from the clients. For this purpose, we use technical security measures in order to prevent the loss, the misapplication, the modification or the unlawful disclosure of the private details under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative operations to protect and secure the data that we acquire on the Internet. When we ask users to submit financial info (such as a credit card number), this info is masked using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technique.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my web site?
A: Nah. Your website will remain visible online during the migration. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we’ll let you know so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is OK, all you will have to do is edit your domain’s DNS resource records.

Q: Will my current web hosting provider have to do anything?
A: Nah. Aside from your login details for the Control Panel, we do not need anything. We’ll never contact your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

Q: Does it matter what platform my present hosting provider is using?
A: Yes. We support all conventional Linux–powered hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–based hosting platforms, because we do not offer Windows web hosting services ourselves.Additionally, we do not support proprietary site creation and management interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
