A: While we cannot give you an exact time frame, because there are plenty of variables, including the size of the files and databases, the location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll do our very best to migrate your web site within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (in case the content is not very large).

Q: My old web hosting account has delicate info inside. How can I trust you?
A: In order for us to begin the migration of your account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to share virtually the same information you have given to your present web hosting provider.

Q: Will there be any outage for my website?
A: While we transfer your web site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. As soon as the migration is over, we’ll make certain that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your data is not compromised before telling you that the transfer is completed. Then we’ll tell you how to move the domain to your hosting account with us and how to change your DNS records.

We do not support Windows–powered hosting platforms, as we do not provide Windows hosting solutions ourselves.Additionally, we do not support proprietary site creation and management user interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
