We know from personal experience that swapping hosting providers can result in lost info and unnecessary network downtime. Because of this, we will perform all that for you at no cost!We’ve got accomplished administrators whose chief responsibility is to make certain that your website works exactly as it did on your previous hosting platform. Our administrators are experts in transferring custom–built web sites, as well as web sites that are based on famous web applications such as WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: Web site migration seems like lots of work. Just how long can it take?
A: While we can’t give you an exact time window, because there are a lot of variables, among them the size of the files and databases, the location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll give our very best to move your web site within 48 hours, and in certain cases – within 24 hours (in case the content is not large).

Q: Do you need anything from me before you start transferring my site?
A: We don’t request any personal info. We’ll need, though, the login information for your present hosting account as well as the name of the website that you wish to move.

Q: The login details for my hosting account are delicate. How can I trust you?
A: In order for us to start the migration of your hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose the same info you have provided to your current host. We’ve also got a very rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies how delicate info is tackled.
-
Q: Will my web site be unavailable during the migration?
A: While we transfer your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. When the migration is finished, we will ensure that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised before informing you that the migration is completed. After that, we’ll tell you how to move the domain over to your hosting account with us and how to edit your DNS settings.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: While we move your website content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will not contact them in any way.

Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present provider is using?
A: Yup. We support all common Linux–based web hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–based hosting platforms, as we don’t provide Windows hosting services ourselves.Additionally, we don’t support proprietary web site creation and management tools like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
