Q: Website migration sounds like lots of work. How much time is it going to take?
A: There are plenty of factors to keep in mind – the total amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the current workload of our website migration experts, etc. However, we do our very best to accomplish all web site migrations in a 48–hour window. Smaller–sized sites are migrated faster – typically in under 24 hours.

Q: Do you require anything from me before you start moving my web site?
A: Yes. We will need to have the name of the site that you would like us to move. We will also require a way to log in to your current hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your website.

Q: The login info for my hosting account is delicate. How can I rely on you?
A: Client privacy is truly one of our fundamental responsibilities – that’s why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade SSL certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial procedures to protect the info that we receive on the World Wide Web. And we’ve got a detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my web site?
A: Your site will work exactly like it did before with your previous hosting provider. Once we are done with the transfer, your site will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we will ask you to preview it. If it is functioning properly, all you will need to do is modify the name server records for your domain. Your site will be migrated to us without any downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider discover that I’m leaving them?
A: No. Apart from your login credentials for the Control Panel, we won’t need anything. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider. They will not know anything about the transfer either.
-
Q: Which web hosting providers can you transfer website content from?
A: We can transfer your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–powered hosting platform as long as we can receive access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only web sites that we can’t migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
