Website Migration
-
Q: What does the web site migration service involve? Will my web site be safe?
A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer fulfill the requirements of your web site, or if you go through constant network downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the client care team to reply back to you, it may be smart to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your websites along with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At a2znamespace - Domain name and hosting solutions, we are aware that this can often be difficult and time–consuming. That is the reason why we will accomplish all that for you for free!Our highly knowledgeable technical staff representatives will move your site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our technicians have got broad experience with web site migration and are able to take care of everything – from a traditional WordPress–powered weblog or Joomla™–powered web site, to an extremely elaborate, custom–made app.

Q: Just how long will it take for my web site to be migrated over to your platform?
A: We strive to carry out all web site migrations ASAP. However, we do not have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are various aspects that you need to take into consideration – the sheer size of your web site and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We constantly strive to accomplish each migration within 48 hours. With smaller–sized sites, our team usually manages to finish within 24 hours.

Q: Do you require something from me before you start moving my site?
A: Yup. We’ll need to have the name of the web site that you would like us to move. We will also need a way to access your old hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your web site.
-
Q: The login details for my hosting account are sensitive. How can I rely on you?
A: Client privacy is among our principal concerns – this is why, both our payment page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We employ safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial operations to secure the information that we accumulate on the Internet. And we also have a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: What about downtime? Will my web site be unavailable?
A: Your site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your old hosting provider. When we have completed the transfer, your web site will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we will alert you to preview it. If everything is working properly, all you will need to do is edit the NS records for your domain name. Your site will be migrated to us with no downtime.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider need to do anything?
A: While we move your content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We will not get in touch with them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting providers can you transfer web content from?
A: We support all Linux–driven hosting platforms. In essence, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
