Q: What exactly does web site migration imply and what does it entail?
A: The web site migration service that we are offering is free of charge (within a certain limit). We will transfer your website(s) to our ultramodern cloud hosting platform without you having to do anything. We know from experience that swapping hosting providers can lead to lost info and undesirable network downtime. That’s why we’ll do all that for you for free!We have competent administrators whose only assignment is to make sure that your website works exactly as it did on your old web hosting platform. The administrators are experts in transferring custom–made websites, as well as websites that are based on famous web applications such as Joomla™ and WordPress.

Q: Just how long will it take for my web site to be migrated over to your platform?
A: We strive to implement all web site migrations ASAP. Even so, we do not have a set time frame for website migrations. There are various elements that you need to take into account – the actual size of your website and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We always try to implement each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized sites, our staff typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.
