-
Q: What precisely does website migration imply and what does it involve?
A: The web site migration service on offer at MSHOSTING.COM is totally free of charge and involves transferring all your files, databases and emails from your present web hosting provider to your brand–new hosting account with us. We’ll also fine–tune all the settings required for your sites to be fully functional on our cutting–edge cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of moving any sort of web site. With years of work experience in the industry, they are experts in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom app with lots of custom libraries is as easy as moving a simple WordPress–based blog.

Q: Web site migration seems like lots of work. How much time does it take?
A: There are lots of aspects to take into account – the overall amount of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. That said, we do our very best to perform all web site migrations within a 48–hour time window. Smaller–sized web sites are transferred faster – usually within 24 hours.
-
Q: Do you need something from me before you start transferring my website?
A: We’ll require the login information for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: You will access sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Client privacy is one of our principal concerns – for this reason, both our payment page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–level SSL certificates. We employ safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to secure the details that we assemble on the World Wide Web. And we also have a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.
-
Q: What about downtime? Will my website be offline?
A: Nope. Your site will stay completely operational during the migration. Once everything is done on our end, we’ll tell you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything’s okay, all you will have to do is modify your domain’s DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: While we move your website content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We will never touch base with them in any way.
-
Q: Which web hosting providers can you transfer website content from?
A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. In essence, if we can get access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to migrate your web site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source web site building platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
