Website Migration

Q: Why do I have to move my web site? What does website migration consist of?
A: The web site migration service provided by 123Tuweb321 is entirely free and consists of moving all your web files, databases and e–mails from your present hosting provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We’ll also modify all the settings needed for your sites to be fully functional on our avant–garde cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring any sort of website. With years of practical experience behind their backs, they’re experts in the specificities of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other well–known Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made app with lots of custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress–based blog.
-
Q: How long will the web site migration process take?
A: While we cannot give you an exact time frame, because there are a lot of factors, including the physical size of the files and databases, the location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your site and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will give our best to migrate your website within 48 hours, and in certain cases – within 24 hours (when the website content is not very large).
-
Q: Do you require anything from me before you start moving my web site?
A: We do not gather any private info. We will need, though, the login info for your current hosting account along with the name of the site that you’d like to transfer.
-
Q: You will access sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Customer privacy is truly one of our paramount priorities – that’s why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–grade SSLs. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative methods to safeguard the information that we gather online. And we’ve also got a detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.
-
Q: How about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: Your web site will work just like it did before with your old hosting provider. When we have finished the migration, your site will be configured to work on our platform and we’ll ask you to preview it. If everything is working correctly, all you will have to do is edit the name server resource records pertaining to your domain. Your website will be transferred to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my current hosting provider need to do anything?
A: While we migrate your website content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the transfer at all. We will never touch base with them in any way.
-
Q: Which web hosting providers can you migrate web content from?
A: We can transfer your site from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven hosting platform on condition that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only websites that we are unable to migrate are those based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
