Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does web site migration imply and what does it entail?
A: The website migration service on offer at HosterAT is absolutely free of cost and involves moving all your website files, databases and e–mails from your current provider to your new web hosting account with us. We’ll also update all the configuration settings necessary for your websites to be completely operational on our avant–garde cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of moving any kind of site. With years of work experience behind their backs, they’re well–versed in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other famous Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made web app with plenty of custom libraries is as elementary as moving a simple WordPress weblog.

Q: How much time will it take for my web site to be transferred to your platform?
A: We try to implement all website migrations as fast as possible. Still, we don’t have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are certain facets that you have to take into account – the actual size of your site and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We always try to perform each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller sites, our staff typically manages to finish within 24 hours.
-
Q: Do you require something from me before you begin transferring my site?
A: We will require the login information for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the website’s name (domain name).
-
Q: You will access delicate info. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: User privacy is one of our paramount responsibilities – that’s why, both our payment transaction 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, digital and administrative operations to secure the data that we receive online. And we’ve got a very detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we collect.
-
Q: Will there be any outage for my website?
A: Your site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your previous web hosting provider. After we are through with the transfer, your website will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we will ask you to preview it. If it is functioning correctly, all you will have to do is edit the NS resource records for your domain name. Your web site will be migrated over to us with no downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my old web hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: While we transfer your website content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We will not contact them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: Yes. We support all conventional Linux–driven hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–based web hosting platforms, as we don’t offer Windows hosting solutions ourselves.In addition, we don’t support proprietary site building and management interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
