Website Migration

A: The website migration service offered by WOW Hosting is absolutely free and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your current provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We will also edit all the configuration settings necessary for your websites to be fully operational on our ultra–modern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring any kind of web site. With years of experience behind their backs, they are experts in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other famous Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made web app with many custom libraries is as elementary as moving a plain WordPress weblog.

A: We strive to perform all website migrations as quickly as possible. Yet, we don’t have a set time frame for website migrations. There are different factors that you need to take into account – the very size of your web site and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We constantly strive to carry out each migration in under 48 hours. With smaller websites, our staff usually manages to finish within 24 hours.

A: We do not require any information that is sensitive. We will need, though, the login info for your old hosting account along with the name of the site that you’d like to migrate.

A: User privacy is truly one of our prime priorities – this is why, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–class SSLs. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial operations to protect the info that we collect on the Internet. And we’ve also got a detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.

A: Nah. Your web site will remain completely operational during the transfer. Once everything is done on our end, we will let you know so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is fine, all you will have to do is modify your domain name’s DNS records.

A: No. We’ll never contact your hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the web site transfer either.

A: We can migrate your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform given that we can access the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only websites that we’re unable to migrate are those based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
