Website Migration

A: The web site migration service on offer at Advanced Tech Online is entirely free of charge and involves transferring all your web files, databases and emails from your current provider to your new hosting account with us. We will also update all the configuration settings necessary for your web sites to be completely operational on our advanced cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring any kind of website. With years of work experience in the industry, they are well–versed in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–built app with many custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a simple WordPress blog.

A: There are lots of variables to think about – the overall amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Still, we do try to perform all website migrations in a 48–hour time window. Smaller web sites are transferred faster – usually in under 24 hours.

A: Yes. We’ll need the name of the web site that you would like us to move. We’ll also require a means to log in to your old web hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your site.

A: Before we can begin the migration of your web hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose literally the same details you have given to your old host. We’ve also got an extremely rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies how personal information is handled.

A: While we transfer your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your previous web hosting provider. After the migration is over, we will make sure that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your content is not jeopardized before telling you that the migration is done. After that, we will tell you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS resource records.

A: Nah. Aside from your login details for the Control Panel, we don’t need anything. We will never contact your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your website.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website creation platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
