Website Migration

A: The web site migration service provided by 212 Hosting Professional is absolutely free of cost and involves transferring all your website files, databases and e–mails from your current hosting provider to your new web hosting account with us. We will also edit all the settings needed for your websites to be fully functional on our cutting–edge cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of moving any sort of site. 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 commonly used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made web application with many custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress blog.

A: While we cannot give you a precise time interval, because there are a lot of factors, among them the physical size of the web files and databases, the location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll try our very best to migrate your site within 48 hours, and in some cases – within 24 hours (in case the content is not large).

A: We’ll require the login information for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the website’s name (domain name).

A: User privacy is indeed one of our prime responsibilities – that is why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–grade SSLs. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative operations to secure the details that we accumulate on the World Wide Web. And we also have a detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we collect.

A: No. Your website will stay fully operational during the migration. Once everything is done on our end, we’ll let you know so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything’s fine, all you will need to do is edit your domain name’s DNS records.

A: Nope. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the website transfer either.

A: We can transfer your site from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven web 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 transfer are those based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
