Website Migration

A: The website migration service on offer at Add Host is entirely free of charge and involves transferring all your files, databases and emails from your present web hosting provider to your new hosting account with us. We’ll also update all the configuration settings necessary for your web sites to be fully operational on our ultramodern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving any type of website. With years of experience in the industry, they’re experts in the inner workings of our hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, moving a custom web app with plenty of custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a plain WordPress–based weblog.

A: We try to perform all website migrations as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, we do not have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are various things that you have to take into account – the sheer size of your website and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We constantly try to accomplish each migration within 48 hours. With smaller sites, our team typically manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

A: We do not request any sensitive data. We will need, though, the login info for your old hosting account along with the name of the web site that you want to migrate.

A: Client privacy is truly one of our main responsibilities – because of this, both our payment page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–class Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the info that we receive online. And we’ve also got a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.

A: While we migrate your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your previous web hosting provider. When the migration is over, we’ll ensure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not affected prior to informing you that the migration is over. After that, we will tell you how to transfer the domain over to your hosting account with us and how to update the DNS records.

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

A: Yup. We support all conventional Linux–powered hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–powered hosting platforms, because we do not offer Windows hosting services ourselves.In addition, we don’t support proprietary website creation and administration interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
