Website Migration

A: The web site migration service offered by Simple Affordable Hosting is completely free of charge and consists of moving all your files, databases and emails from your current provider to your new hosting account with us. We’ll also modify all the configuration settings required for your web sites to be completely functional on our advanced cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of transferring just about any website. With years of work experience in the industry, they are experts in the specificities of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other widely used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom app with a lot of custom libraries is as easy as transferring a plain WordPress blog.

A: We try to accomplish all web site migrations as fast as possible. Still, we don’t have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are different variables that you have to consider – the mere size of your site and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We constantly strive to implement each migration within 48 hours. With smaller–sized websites, our team usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

A: We’ll require the login details for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the web site’s name (domain name).

A: In order for us to begin the transfer of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to share exactly the same information you have provided to your present hosting provider. We also have an extremely rigid Privacy Policy, which describes how personal data is used.

A: Your site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your previous web hosting provider. Once we have completed the migration, your site will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning correctly, all you will have to do is modify the NS records corresponding to your domain. Your website will be transferred over to us with no downtime whatsoever.

A: Nah. We’ll never get in touch with your hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the website transfer either.

A: We can transfer your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–driven hosting platform provided that we can access the Control Panel and there is File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we can’t migrate are the ones based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
