Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does web site migration imply and what does it involve?
A: The web site migration service available at Cheat Fusion Hosting is absolutely free and consists of moving all your website files, databases and emails from your current hosting provider to your brand–new hosting account with us. We’ll also modify all the configuration settings required for your sites to be completely operational on our ultramodern cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of moving any sort of web site. With years of work experience in the industry, they’re well–versed in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other popular Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made app with multiple custom libraries is as easy as transferring a plain WordPress weblog.

Q: How long will it take for my site to be transferred over to your platform?
A: While we cannot give you a precise time interval, because there are plenty of factors, 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 current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our very best to move your website within 48 hours, and in certain cases – within 24 hours (if the website content is not very large).
-
Q: What data will I have to give to your Website Migration Department?
A: We will need the login information for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the web site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: You will access delicate data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Client privacy is truly one of our greatest priorities – that is why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade digital certificates. We employ safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to protect the information that we assemble on the World Wide Web. And we have a very detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: Will my website be offline during the transfer?
A: While we transfer your web site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. When the transfer is completed, we’ll make certain that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your data is not compromised prior to telling you that the migration is finished. After that, we’ll instruct you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my old web hosting provider need to provide any info/help?
A: While we move your website content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the migration at all. We won’t touch base with them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting providers can you migrate website content from?
A: We can migrate your web site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–based hosting platform as long as we can receive access to the Control Panel and there is FTP access available.The only web sites that we are unable to migrate are those based on closed–source software apps like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
