Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I need to transfer my web site? What does website migration involve?
A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer fulfill the demands of your web site, or if you experience continual downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the support team to respond back to you, it might be a good idea to switch your hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your sites as well as your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At Mt Xunil Web Hosting Services, we are aware that this can be hard & time–consuming. That is why we’ll do all that for you for free!Our highly accomplished technical team reps will transfer your site content from your current provider to us. Our techs have got a lot of experience with website migration and are able to handle anything – from a typical WordPress–powered blog or Joomla™–based site, to a very elaborate, custom–built web app.

Q: Web site migration seems like lots of work. How much time does it take?
A: We strive to accomplish all website migrations as fast as possible. Nonetheless, we don’t have a set time frame for website migrations. There are several facets that you have to take into account – the mere size of your site and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We constantly strive to perform each migration within 48 hours. With less sizeable sites, our staff usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: My privacy is crucial to me. What details do you require?
A: We will require the login details for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: My present web hosting account has delicate data inside. How can I trust you?
A: In order for us to begin the transfer of your hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose the exact same info you have given to your previous host. We also have a very strict Privacy Policy, which specifies how sensitive data is tackled.
-
Q: How about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: Nope. Your site will continue to be visible online during the migration. As soon as everything is done on our end, we will let you know so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s alright, all you will need to do is edit your domain name’s DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my old hosting provider discover that I’m leaving them?
A: While we transfer your content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We will never get in touch with them in any way.
-
Q: Does it matter what platform my present provider is using?
A: Yes. We support all conventional Linux–based web hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–powered hosting platforms, because we do not offer Windows web hosting services ourselves.Furthermore, we do not support proprietary website creation and administration tools like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
