Website Migration

Q: Why do I need to transfer my site? What does website migration entail?
A: The website migration service available at SitioEnInternet.com is entirely free of charge and involves moving all your files, databases and e–mails from your current hosting provider to your new hosting account with us. We will also update all the settings necessary for your websites to be completely operational on our ultramodern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of transferring just about any website. With years of work experience in this field, they are experts in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–built application with lots of custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a plain WordPress–based blog.

Q: How much time will the website migration procedure take?
A: There are a lot of factors to consider – the overall amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our web site migration experts, etc. However, we do our very best to perform all website migrations in a 48–hour time period. Smaller–sized websites are migrated much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

Q: My privacy is vital to me. What info do you require?
A: Yes. We will need to have the name of the website that you would like us to transfer. We’ll also require a means to access your old web hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your site.

Q: My old web hosting account has sensitive data inside. How can I trust you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we will have with you as a customer. We’re committed to protecting the safety of the private info obtained from the clients. To accomplish that, we employ technical safety measures so as to avoid the loss, the misuse, the alteration or the unlawful leak of the personal data under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial procedures to protect and secure the information that we assemble on the World Wide Web. When we request clients to provide financial information (for instance, a debit card number), this info is shielded using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.

Q: Will there be any outage for my web site?
A: While we transfer your web site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your former hosting provider. When the transfer is complete, we’ll make sure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your data is not jeopardized prior to telling you that the migration is done. Then we will tell you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to update the DNS records.

Q: Will my present hosting provider discover that I’m leaving them?
A: While we move your content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We will never contact them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting providers can you transfer data from?
A: We can transfer your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform provided that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there is File Transfer Protocol access available.The only sites that we can’t migrate are those based on closed–source software apps such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
