Website Migration

A: The web site migration service on offer at Hostbot is entirely free of cost and involves transferring all your web files, databases and e–mails from your current web hosting provider to your new hosting account with us. We’ll also edit all the configuration settings necessary for your sites to be fully operational on our innovative cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring just about any web site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they’re experts in the inner workings of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom web app with many custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress–based weblog.

A: We try to carry out all website migrations as quickly as possible. Yet, we don’t have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are various things that you have to take into consideration – the very size of your site and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We constantly strive to accomplish each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller sites, our staff typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

A: Yeah. We’ll need to have the name of the website that you’d like us to move. We will also require a means to access your old hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your website.

A: User privacy is truly one of our paramount responsibilities – this is why, both our payment page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–grade digital certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial methods to secure the info that we obtain on the web. And we’ve got a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we gather.

A: No. Your website will remain visible online during the migration. Once everything is completed on our end, we’ll notify you so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything is fine, all you will have to do is update your domain’s DNS settings.

A: Nah. We will never get in touch with your web hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the web site migration either.

A: We support all Linux–driven web hosting platforms. Basically, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site creation platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
