Website Migration

A: The web site migration service provided by Website and Domain Hosting Gosport is completely free and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your present provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We’ll also modify all the settings needed for your websites to be fully functional on our advanced cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving any sort of website. With years of practical experience behind their backs, they are experts in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other widely used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom web application with many custom libraries is as elementary as moving a plain WordPress blog.

A: There are plenty of aspects to take into consideration – the overall number of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Yet, we do our very best to accomplish all website migrations in a 48–hour time window. Smaller–sized web sites are migrated faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

A: We will require the login details for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).

A: Customer privacy is one of our chief concerns – that’s why, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–level SSL certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial procedures to secure the data that we obtain on the Internet. And we’ve got a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we collect.

A: Your web site will work just like it did before with your previous hosting provider. As soon as we have finished the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our platform and we will ask you to preview it. If everything is functioning correctly, all you will need to do is change the NS records pertaining to your domain name. Your website will be transferred to us with no downtime.

A: Nope. We will never contact your web hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the web site migration either.

A: Yes. We support all regular Linux–powered web hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–powered web hosting platforms, as we don’t offer Windows hosting solutions ourselves.Furthermore, we don’t support proprietary website creation and management user interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
