We will also modify all the configuration settings needed for your web sites to be completely operational on our cutting–edge cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving any kind of web site. With years of work experience behind their backs, they’re well–versed in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom web application with numerous custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a plain WordPress–based weblog.

A: There are lots of factors to consider – the total amount of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the current workload of our web site migration experts, etc. That being said, we do our best to implement all web site migrations within a 48–hour window. Smaller web sites are transferred faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

A: User privacy is truly one of our fundamental concerns – this is why, both our payment page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade SSLs.

Q: How about downtime? Will my website be unavailable?
A: While we migrate your web site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. When the migration is completed, we’ll make sure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your data is not jeopardized before notifying you that the transfer is finished. After that, we will instruct you how to transfer the domain to your web hosting account with us and how to change your DNS records.
