Q: Website migration seems like lots of work. How much time does it take?
A: We try to perform all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Nonetheless, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are various factors that you have to consider – the sheer size of your website and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always strive to carry out each migration within 48 hours. With smaller websites, our staff usually manages to finish in under 24 hours.

Q: Do you need anything from me before you begin moving my site?
A: We will require the login details for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the web site’s name (domain name).

Q: The login details for my hosting account are sensitive. How can I rely on you?
A: Before we can begin the transfer of your account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to share basically the same info you have given to your present web host. We also have a very rigid Privacy Policy, which describes how delicate data is tackled.

Q: Will my website be offline during the migration?
A: While we move your web site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old hosting provider. When the migration is complete, we’ll make sure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised before notifying you that the transfer is done. Then we will explain to you how to transfer the domain to your hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS resource records.

Q: Will my old web hosting provider need to do anything?
A: Nah. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not require anything. We’ll never contact your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

Q: Which web hosting platforms do you support?
A: Yeah. We support all conventional Linux–powered hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–powered web hosting platforms, because we don’t offer Windows hosting services ourselves.In addition, we do not support proprietary website building and management user interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
