Q: Web site migration sounds like a lot of work. Just how long will it take?
A: We try to perform all web site migrations as fast as possible. Nevertheless, we don’t have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are several variables that you need to consider – the very size of your web site and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We constantly try to carry out each migration in under 48 hours. With smaller–sized web sites, our staff typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.

Q: My personal privacy is crucial to me. What details do you need to have?
A: Yes. We will need to have the name of the web site that you wish us to migrate. We’ll also require a way to log in to your current web hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your site.

Q: My old web hosting account has sensitive info inside. How can I rely on you?
A: Before we can begin the migration of your hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose the exact same information you have provided to your present hosting provider. We’ve also got an extremely rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies how sensitive information is handled.

Q: How about downtime? Will my web site be unavailable?
A: Your website will continue to work just like it did before with your former hosting provider. As soon as we are done with the migration, your web site 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 have to do is change the name server resource records corresponding to your domain name. Your site will be transferred over to us without any downtime whatsoever.
