Website Migration

A: The web site migration service provided by cheaperwebsitehosting.co.uk is entirely free of charge and consists of transferring all your files, databases and e–mails from your current web hosting provider to your brand–new hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the configuration settings necessary for your web sites to be fully functional on our next–generation cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring any kind of website. With years of experience in this field, they are well–versed in the specificities of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made web app with multiple custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress blog.

A: While we can’t give you an exact time window, since there are many factors, among them the physical size of the web files and databases, the physical location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your website and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our best to move your web site within 48 hours, and in some cases – within 24 hours (when the website content is not very large).

A: Yes. We will need to have the name of the site that you wish us to transfer. We’ll also need a means to access your present hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your site.

A: User privacy is truly one of our paramount priorities – because of this, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–level SSL certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to safeguard the data that we collect on the Internet. And we also have a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we collect.

A: Your site will work just like it did before with your old web hosting provider. When we have completed the migration, your website will be configured to work on our system and we will alert you to preview it. If it is working properly, all you will need to do is edit the NS resource records corresponding to your domain. Your web site will be transferred to us with no downtime.

A: While we transfer your website content, your web hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We will not touch base with them in any way.

A: We support all Linux–based web hosting platforms. Generally, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source site creation platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
