Website Migration

A: The web site migration service offered by Elsir Hosting is totally free of charge and involves moving all your website files, databases and e–mails from your current hosting provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We’ll also modify all the configuration settings needed for your web sites to be completely functional on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of moving any type of web site. With years of work experience behind their backs, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other widely used Control Panels. For them, moving a custom application with multiple custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress–based weblog.

A: While we can’t give you an exact time window, because there are many variables, including the size of the web files and databases, the physical location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your site and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will do our best to migrate your website within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (if the website content is not large).

A: We will require the login information for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the website’s name (domain name).

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we’ll have with you as a customer. We’re devoted to safeguarding the security of the private information gathered from the customers. To do that, we use technical safety measures in order to avoid the loss, the misappropriation, the alteration or the unlawful leak of the personal data under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative operations to protect and secure the details that we collect on the World Wide Web. When we request users to present financial information (for instance, a credit card number), this info is secured using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption method.

A: Nope. Your website will continue to be online during the migration. As soon as everything is done on our end, we’ll tell you so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything is okay, all you will have to do is change your domain name’s DNS records.

A: While we transfer your web content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We will not contact them in any way.

A: We can migrate your website from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven hosting platform so long as we can get access to the Control Panel and there is File Transfer Protocol access available.The only websites that we can’t migrate are those based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
