Website Migration

A: The website migration service offered by Hosting Box is entirely free of charge and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and e–mails from your current hosting provider to your new web hosting account with us. We will also revise all the configuration settings necessary for your web sites to be completely operational on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring any type of web site. With years of practical experience behind their backs, they’re well–versed in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other popular Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built web application with plenty of custom libraries is as easy as transferring a plain WordPress–based blog.

A: We try to perform all website migrations as quickly as possible. However, we don’t have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are various factors that you have to take into account – the very size of your web site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always try to implement each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized sites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

A: Yep. We’ll need to have the name of the website that you wish us to move. We will also need a way to log into your old web hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your site.

A: Customer privacy is indeed one of our foremost priorities – for this reason, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial procedures to secure the information that we gather on the Internet. And we also have a detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.

A: Nope. Your website will remain reachable online during the transfer. As soon as everything is done on our end, we will inform you so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything is fine, all you will have to do is edit your domain name’s DNS settings.

A: No. Aside from your login details for the Control Panel, we won’t require anything. We’ll never contact your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.

A: We support all Linux–based web hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can acquire access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your web site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website building platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
