Q: Why do I have to transfer my site? What does web site migration consist of?
A: The web site migration service that we are offering is free (to a certain extent). We’ll transfer your site(s) to our ultra–modern cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from personal experience that switching hosting providers can lead to lost information and unwanted downtime. This is why we will do all that for you for free!We have practiced administrators whose primary task is to make certain that your site works precisely as it did on your former hosting platform. Our administrators are experts in transferring custom–made sites, as well as sites that are based on popular scripts like WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: How long will the website migration procedure take?
A: While we can’t give you an exact time window, because there are plenty of factors, among them the size of the web files and databases, the location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your website and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll give our best to transfer your web site within 48 hours, and in some cases – within 24 hours (if the website content is not very large).

Q: Do you need anything from me before you start moving my web site?
A: Yeah. We’ll need the name of the website that you want us to move. We will also need a way to log in to your current hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your website.

Q: My current web hosting account has sensitive info inside. How can I trust you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a customer. We’re committed to protecting the security of the personal info obtained from the customers. To accomplish that, we use technical safety measures to prevent the loss, the misuse, the modification or the illegal disclosure of the personal data under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to protect and secure the details that we gather on the web. When we request customers to present financial info (such as a credit card number), this info is masked using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technique.

Q: What about downtime? Will my website be offline?
A: Your web site will work exactly like it did before with your former web hosting provider. When we have finished the transfer, your website will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we will alert you to preview it. If it is functioning correctly, all you will need to do is update the name server resource records pertaining to your domain name. Your site will be transferred over to us without any downtime whatsoever.
