Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does website migration mean and what does it entail?
A: The website migration service on offer at Henry Zilek - ITOnline.biz is entirely free and involves moving all your files, databases and e–mails from your current hosting provider to your brand–new hosting account with us. We’ll also fine–tune all the configuration settings needed for your websites to be fully functional on our super–modern cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of moving any sort of website. With years of work experience behind their backs, they are experts in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other widely used Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made web application with a lot of custom libraries is as elementary as moving a simple WordPress–based blog.

Q: How long will it take for my website to be migrated over to your platform?
A: While we cannot give you a precise ETA, because there are lots of variables, including the physical size of the files and databases, the physical location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your website and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our very best to transfer your website within 48 hours, and in certain cases – within 24 hours (if the content is not very large).
-
Q: My privacy concerns me. What info do you need?
A: We don’t require any sensitive info. We’ll need, though, the login info for your current hosting account as well as the name of the website that you’d like to move.
-
Q: My current hosting account has sensitive data inside. How can I trust you?
A: In order for us to begin the transfer of your account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose the very same information you have provided to your old web hosting provider. We’ve also got a very rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes how delicate info is handled.
-
Q: Will my site be offline during the transfer?
A: While we transfer your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. When the migration is over, we will make certain that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your content is not affected prior to telling you that the migration is finished. After that, we’ll explain to you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to edit your DNS records.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider discover that I am leaving them?
A: No. Aside from your login info for the Control Panel, we won’t require anything. We’ll never touch base with your hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Which web hosting providers can you migrate content from?
A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source site building platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
