Website Migration

Q: What precisely does web site migration imply and what does it entail?
A: The website migration service that we are offering is free (to a certain extent). We’ll move your site(s) to our ultramodern cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from personal experience that switching web hosting providers can result in lost data and undesired downtime. Because of this, we will do all that for you at no cost!We have highly proficient administrators whose chief task is to make sure that your web site works precisely as it did on your former hosting platform. The administrators are well–versed in migrating custom–made sites, as well as sites that are based upon well–known scripts like WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: How long will it take for my web site to be moved to your platform?
A: While we can’t give you a precise time interval, since there are a lot 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 will try our very best to migrate your web site within 48 hours, and in certain cases – within 24 hours (if the content is not very large).

Q: What info will I have to give to your Website Migration Department?
A: Yep. We will need the name of the website that you would like us to migrate. We will also need a means to access your current hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your site.

Q: My old web 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’ll have with you as a customer. We are focused on safeguarding the security of the private data obtained from the clients. To do that, we employ technical safety measures in order to prevent the loss, the misuse, the modification or the unlawful leak of the personal info under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the data that we accumulate on the web. When we request clients to present financial information (for example, a debit card number), this info is shielded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology.

Q: How about downtime? Will my website be unavailable?
A: While we move your website, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. After the migration is completed, we will ensure that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your content is not affected prior to telling you that the transfer is over. Then we will instruct you how to move the domain to your web hosting account with us and how to update your DNS records.

Q: Will my current web hosting provider need to provide any info/assistance?
A: Nope. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the website transfer either.
