Website Migration

A: The website migration service available at GeeksCloud is totally free of cost and involves transferring all your web files, databases and e–mails from your present provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We’ll also update all the settings necessary for your sites to be completely functional on our leading–edge cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of moving any kind of site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they are experts in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other widely used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made app with numerous custom libraries is as elementary as moving a simple WordPress weblog.

A: There are many aspects to think about – the total amount of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the current workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. That being said, we do try to perform all website migrations within a 48–hour time window. Less sizeable websites are migrated faster – usually in less than 24 hours.

A: Yep. We’ll need to have the name of the web site that you would like us to move. We’ll also need a means to log in to your current hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your website.

A: In order for us to begin the migration of your hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to share literally the same information you have given to your previous hosting provider. We’ve also got an extremely rigid Privacy Policy, which describes how personal info is handled.

A: Your web site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your previous hosting provider. When we have finished the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we will alert you to preview it. If it is functioning properly, all you will need to do is update the NS records for your domain. Your website will be transferred to us without any downtime.

A: Nope. Apart from your login details for the Control Panel, we will not need anything. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the migration either.

A: Yup. We support all regular Linux–based web hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–driven hosting platforms, because we do not provide Windows hosting solutions ourselves.We also do not support proprietary site creation and management tools like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
