Q: Web site migration seems like a lot of work. How long is it going to take?
A: While we cannot give you an exact time frame, since there are lots of factors, including the size of the web files and databases, the location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll try our best to migrate your site within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (in case the content is not large).

Q: Do you need something from me before you start moving my web site?
A: Yeah. We will need the name of the site that you would like us to move. We’ll also require a means to access your present web hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your site.

A: User privacy is among our greatest concerns – because of this, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–level SSLs. We employ safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial operations to safeguard the information that we obtain on the World Wide Web. And we have a detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

Q: What about downtime? Will my website be offline?
A: While we migrate your web site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. As soon as the transfer is finished, we will ensure that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your data is not affected before informing you that the transfer is completed. Then we will tell you how to transfer the domain to your hosting account with us and how to change your DNS records.

We don’t support Windows–based web hosting platforms, because we don’t provide Windows web hosting solutions ourselves.Additionally, we don’t support proprietary web site creation and administration user interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
