Q: How long will it take for my web site to be transferred to your platform?
A: While we can’t give you an exact time window, since there are plenty of variables, among them the physical size of the web files and databases, the location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will do our best to transfer your website within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (when the content is not very large).

Q: What info will I have to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: We do not require any private details. We will need, though, the login info for your current web hosting account and the name of the site that you want to migrate.

Q: The login details for my hosting account are delicate. How can I trust you?
A: In order for us to begin the transfer of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose more or less the same info you have provided to your old hosting provider. We also have an extremely rigid Privacy Policy, which describes how personal information is tackled.

Q: What about downtime? Will my site be offline?
A: While we transfer your web site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. After the migration is complete, we’ll make certain that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your data is not affected prior to informing you that the migration is finished. Then we’ll explain to you how to move the domain name to your web hosting account with us and how to edit the DNS resource records.

A: No. We’ll never contact your hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the website migration either.

A: We support all Linux–powered web hosting platforms. Basically, if we can acquire access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your web site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site management platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
