Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does web site migration mean and what does it include?
A: The website migration service provided by AdRhythm is totally free of cost and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your present hosting provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also edit all the settings required for your web sites to be completely operational on our advanced cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring any kind of website. With years of work experience in the industry, they are well–versed in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made web app with lots of custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a plain WordPress weblog.

Q: Website migration seems like a lot of work. How much time will it take?
A: We try to perform all web site migrations as fast as possible. Yet, we don’t have a fixed time frame for website migrations. There are different variables that you need to take into account – the mere size of your website and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We constantly strive to implement each migration in under 48 hours. With smaller web sites, our team typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.

Q: My personal privacy is important to me. What information do you need?
A: We will require the login details for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).

Q: The login info for my hosting account is delicate. How can I trust you?
A: Before we can start the migration of your account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose practically the same details you have given to your current web host. We’ve also got an extremely rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes how personal information is dealt with.

Q: Will there be any outage for my web site?
A: While we migrate your website, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. After the migration is complete, we will make certain that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your data is not jeopardized prior to informing you that the transfer is complete. After that, we will explain to you how to transfer the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to update the DNS settings.

Q: Will my current web hosting provider find out that I’m leaving them?
A: While we transfer your website content, your hosting provider will not be aware of the transfer at all. We will never contact them in any way.

Q: Does it make any difference what platform my current provider is using?
A: We can migrate your site from any hosting provider or any Linux–powered hosting platform provided that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there is File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we cannot transfer are those based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
