Website Migration

A: The web site migration service provided by Hosting tube is completely free and consists of transferring all your files, databases and emails from your current provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We will also revise all the settings required for your websites to be completely functional on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of moving any type of site. With years of work experience in the industry, they’re experts in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made web app with numerous custom libraries is as easy as transferring a plain WordPress–based blog.

A: There are plenty of aspects to keep in mind – the total amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our web site migration experts, etc. Nevertheless, we do our best to implement all website migrations in a 48–hour period. Smaller websites are migrated much faster – typically within 24 hours.

A: Yes. We will require the name of the website that you wish us to transfer. We’ll also need a way to log in to your current web hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your web site.

A: Client privacy is truly one of our fundamental responsibilities – that’s why, both our payment page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–level SSL certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial operations to protect the data that we collect on the web. And we also have a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

A: While we transfer your web site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your previous hosting provider. When the transfer is completed, we’ll ensure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your data is not jeopardized before informing you that the transfer is complete. After that, we’ll instruct you how to transfer the domain name to your hosting account with us and how to change the DNS records.

A: While we transfer your web content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will never get in touch with them in any way.

A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. Basically, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to migrate your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site building platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
