Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does website migration imply and what does it involve?
A: The website migration service available at nameURsite is totally free of cost and involves transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your present hosting provider to your new hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the settings necessary for your web sites to be fully operational on our super–modern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of moving any type of web site. With years of experience in this field, they are experts in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built app with lots of custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress blog.

Q: Just how long will it take for my web site to be migrated over to your platform?
A: While we cannot give you an exact ETA, since there are lots of factors, among them the size of the files and databases, the physical location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our very best to migrate your web site within 48 hours, and in some cases – within 24 hours (if the content is not very large).
-
Q: Do you require anything from me before you start transferring my web site?
A: Yes. We’ll need the name of the web site that you want us to migrate. We’ll also require a way to log into your present web hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your web site.
-
Q: The login info for my hosting account is delicate. How can I trust you?
A: Before we can begin the transfer of your web hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to share basically the same information you have given to your old host. We’ve also got a very strict Privacy Policy, which specifies how delicate info is dealt with.
-
Q: How about downtime? Will my website be offline?
A: Your web site will work exactly like it did before with your previous hosting provider. As soon as we are through with the transfer, your web site will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we will alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning correctly, all you will have to do is update the name server records pertaining to your domain name. Your website will be migrated to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my current hosting provider need to do anything?
A: While we migrate your content, your web hosting provider will not be aware of the transfer at all. We will not contact them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: We can migrate your website from any hosting provider or any Linux–powered web hosting platform provided that we can get access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we are unable to migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
