Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does website migration imply and what does it entail?
A: If your present hosting provider can no longer satisfy the demands of your web site, or if you suffer from regular network downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the support team to get back to you, it might be smart to change your provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your web sites as well as your databases from your present provider to your new provider. At AceHoster.com, we understand that this can be hard and time–consuming. That is the reason why we’ll do all that for you for free!Our highly knowledgeable technical team reps will move your site content from your present web hosting provider to us. Our techs have a lot of experience migrating websites and can take care of anything – from a regular WordPress weblog or Joomla™ website, to a very complex, custom–built app.

Q: How long will it take for my site to be transferred over to your platform?
A: We strive to accomplish all website migrations ASAP. Nonetheless, we do not have a set time frame for website migrations. There are certain factors that you need to take into account – the mere size of your web site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always try to implement each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller web sites, our staff usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: My personal privacy concerns me. What details do you need to have?
A: Yeah. We will need the name of the site that you wish us to migrate. We will also require a way to log in to your present web hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your site.

Q: I give you access to sensitive info. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we will have with you as a client. We’re devoted to safeguarding the safety of the personal details collected from the clients. To achieve this, we use technical safety measures in order to avoid the loss, the misappropriation, the alteration or the illegal disclosure 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 collect on the web. When we request clients to submit financial information (such as a debit card number), this info is encoded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my website?
A: No. Your site will remain online during the transfer. Once everything is done on our end, we’ll tell you so that you can examine it and check for problems. If everything is OK, all you will have to do is update your domain name’s DNS resource records.

Q: Will my old hosting provider need to do anything?
A: Nah. We’ll never contact your hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the website migration either.

A: We support all Linux–powered web hosting platforms. Fundamentally, if we can acquire access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your web site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site building platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
