Web Site Migration FAQ`sÂ
Which hosting providers can you migrate website content from?
We support all Linux–powered web hosting platforms. Generally, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your web site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source site creation platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
Which hosting providers can you migrate website content from?
Nah. We’ll never contact your hosting provider about anything at all. They will not be aware of the web site migration either.
Will there be any downtime for my web site?
Nah. Your website will continue to be fully operational during the transfer. Once everything is done on our end, we will let you know so that you can examine it and check for problems. If everything’s OK, all you will have to do is change your domain’s DNS settings.
What data will I have to give to your Website Migration Department?
We do not collect any information that is sensitive. We will require, however, the login info for your current web hosting account as well as the name of the web site that you want to transfer.
