Q: What exactly does web site migration imply and what does it include?
A: The website migration service that we are offering is free (within a certain limit). We will migrate your site(s) to our next–generation cloud hosting platform without you needing to do anything. We know from personal experience that changing hosting providers can result in lost info and undesired downtime. That’s the reason why we’ll do all that for you for free!We have highly knowledgeable administrators whose primary task is to ensure that your site functions precisely as it did on your previous web hosting platform. Our administrators are experts in transferring custom–built sites, as well as sites that are based on famous scripts such as WordPress and Joomla™.

Q: Just how long will it take for my website to be migrated to your platform?
A: While we cannot give you an exact time interval, because there are lots of variables, among them the physical size of the files and databases, the physical location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll give our best to move your website within 48h, and in some cases – within 24h (when the website content is not large).

A: While we migrate your site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. After the migration is done, we’ll make certain that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your data is not affected prior to informing you that the transfer is completed. Then we’ll tell you how to transfer the domain to your web hosting account with us and how to update the DNS records.
