Website Migration

A: The web site migration service on offer at Host Faster is completely free of cost and involves moving all your files, databases and emails from your current web hosting provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We will also modify all the settings required for your web sites to be fully operational on our ultramodern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving any sort of website. With years of practical experience in the industry, they are well–versed in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom app with plenty of custom libraries is as easy as transferring a plain WordPress weblog.

A: While we cannot give you a precise ETA, because there are plenty of factors, among them the size of the files and databases, the physical location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our very best to transfer your website within 48h, and in some cases – within 24h (if the content is not very large).

A: We do not require any private data. We’ll need, however, the login information for your present hosting account and the name of the website that you want to migrate.

A: Before we can start 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 the exact same details you have given to your present hosting provider. We’ve also got a very rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes how personal info is handled.

A: While we migrate your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old hosting provider. Once the transfer is completed, we’ll make certain that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your web content is not compromised prior to notifying you that the migration is over. Then we will tell you how to move the domain over to your web hosting account with us and how to edit your DNS records.

A: Nah. Aside from your login info for the Control Panel, we don’t need anything. We will never contact your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.

A: We can migrate your website from any hosting provider or any Linux–based web hosting platform on condition that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only sites that we cannot transfer are the ones based on closed–source software apps such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
