Our migration specialist will thoroughly assess your source server, analyzing:
Important Note: We can only move what's currently on your website's server. Things like databases or data stored elsewhere won't come along for the ride.
Based on your website size and number, we'll create a custom migration plan outlining the process and timing.
For optimal service, migrations are scheduled in advance. Your plan will show available time slots to start the transfer. While the exact duration cannot be guaranteed due to technical factors, we'll provide an estimate. That is to say, you'll receive a notification about the available time windows for the migration.
Track your migration progress anytime through our dedicated migration hotline or by submitting a support ticket.
Think of this like updating your mailing address! Until the transfer is complete, your website's address (DNS) points to its old location. We handle the technical changes, but here's what you need to know:
After the migration is complete, please verify that each website functions correctly before switching your DNS. Use temporary URLs or host files to access the new server before DNS changes. Check common post-migration issues such as:
Before you switch your website's address (DNS), thoroughly test everything on the new server. If you encounter any issues, let us know, and we'll assist you in resolving them.
Feel free to reach out if you need help with any of these steps! We're here to make sure your website transition is smooth and successful.
Once you're happy with your website's new location and have double-checked everything, it's time to update its address (DNS). Think of it like updating your mailing address after moving!
Why is this important? Until you do this, visitors might still reach your old location, causing issues like missing emails or database changes. But don't worry, it's usually just a few tweaks.
Most hosting providers (like us!) use "name servers" to direct visitors to your website. By updating the name servers' information, you point everyone to the new location. This usually requires just one change at your domain registrar, instead of updating each individual domain you host.

You will need to provide access credentials to your current hosting account, including control panel login, FTP details, and database information. All data is handled confidentially.
For root-access migrations, you'll need full control (root access) of both your old and new servers. This allows our scripts to work their magic.
For cPanel, Plesk or Webuzo control panels, things are simpler! Just provide some basic info about your old account, like the login details and a special key we'll share.
Pinpointing the exact time is tricky due to various factors like internet speed and server setup. The duration of the migration though depends on the size and complexity of your website. Typically, a standard migration takes between 24 to 72 hours. But remember, unexpected things can sometimes add some extra time. We provide a time estimate after evaluating your site.
