Website Migration

A: The website migration service available at MyHostio is totally free of charge and consists of moving all your website files, databases and e–mails from your present provider to your new hosting account with us. We’ll also fine–tune all the configuration settings needed for your web sites to be completely operational on our avant–garde cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of transferring any type of website. With years of experience in this field, they’re experts in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–built application with a lot of custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a simple WordPress weblog.

A: There are lots of aspects to bear in mind – the total number of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. However, we do our very best to accomplish all website migrations in a 48–hour time period. Smaller web sites are migrated much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

A: We will need the login information for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the website’s name (domain name).

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the agreement that we’ll have with you as a customer. We are dedicated to safeguarding the security of the private information gathered from the clients. To achieve this, we use technical security measures so as to avoid the loss, the abuse, the modification or the illegal leak of the information under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial operations to protect and secure the info that we assemble on the Internet. When we request customers to supply financial information (such as a credit card number), this info is protected using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption method.

A: Nope. Your site will remain available online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we’ll let you know so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything’s fine, all you will need to do is modify your domain name’s DNS settings.

A: Nope. Aside from your login credentials for the Control Panel, we do not need anything. We’ll never contact your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

A: We can migrate your website from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform on condition that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there is FTP access available.The only sites that we cannot migrate are those based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
