Website Migration

A: The web site migration service available at Swishbiz Web Hosting is totally free and consists of transferring all your web files, databases and emails from your present web hosting provider to your new hosting account with us. We’ll also fine–tune all the configuration settings needed for your websites to be fully operational on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of transferring any kind of site. With years of work experience in this field, they are well–versed in the specificities of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other famous Control Panels. For them, moving a custom application with lots of custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress weblog.

A: We strive to carry out all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Even so, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are different elements that you need to take into consideration – the sheer size of your site and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We constantly try to implement each migration in under 48 hours. With less sizeable web sites, our team typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

A: We do not gather any personal info. We’ll need, though, the login information for your old web hosting account as well as the name of the website that you wish to transfer.

A: In order for us to start the migration of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to share virtually the same info you have provided to your present web hosting provider. We’ve also got a very rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies how delicate info is used.

A: Your site will continue to work just like it did before with your previous hosting provider. As soon as we have finished the transfer, your web site will be configured to work on our system and we’ll alert you to preview it. If it is functioning properly, all you will need to do is modify the name server records for your domain. Your web site will be migrated to us without any downtime.

A: While we migrate your content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the transfer at all. We will never touch base with them in any way.

A: We can migrate your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–powered web hosting platform given that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only sites that we are unable to transfer are the ones based on closed–source software apps like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
