Website Migration

A: The website migration service available at Discount Hosting Store is totally free of cost and involves moving all your files, databases and e–mails from your current web hosting provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We will also edit all the settings required for your sites to be fully functional on our avant–garde cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of transferring just about any site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they’re well–versed in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made application with numerous custom libraries is as easy as moving a simple WordPress–based blog.

A: We strive to accomplish all website migrations as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, we do not have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are several facets that you have to take into consideration – the actual size of your site and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We always try to accomplish each migration within 48 hours. With smaller websites, our staff typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

A: Yep. We will require the name of the website that you want us to migrate. We will also need a way to access your current hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your web site.

A: In order for us to start the transfer of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose more or less the same details you have provided to your old web host. We’ve also got a very rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies how private info is used.

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 hosting provider. After the migration is complete, we will make certain that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised before notifying you that the transfer is finished. After that, we will tell you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to update the DNS resource records.

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

A: We can migrate your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform on condition that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only websites that we cannot migrate are those based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
