Website Migration
-
Q: What does the web site migration service include? Will my site be safe?
A: The web site migration service offered by MygoodHosting is completely free and consists of transferring all your files, databases and e–mails from your current hosting provider to your new hosting account with us. We will also revise all the settings necessary for your web sites to be fully functional on our advanced cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of transferring any kind of site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they are experts in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–built application with numerous custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a plain WordPress–based weblog.

Q: Web site migration sounds like lots of work. How much time can it take?
A: There are a lot of factors to think about – the total number of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration experts, etc. Yet, we do our very best to implement all website migrations in a 48–hour window. Less sizeable sites are migrated much faster – usually within 24 hours.
-
Q: My privacy is vital to me. What info do you require?
A: Yup. We will need the name of the website that you’d like us to migrate. We’ll also require a means to access your old web hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your site.
-
Q: My present hosting account has sensitive data inside. How can I rely on you?
A: Before we can begin the transfer of your web hosting account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to share exactly the same information you have given to your current web hosting provider. We also have an extremely rigid Privacy Policy, which describes how delicate information is tackled.
-
Q: Will there be any downtime for my web site?
A: While we transfer your web site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your previous web hosting provider. As soon as the migration is over, we will make certain that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your content is not affected before informing you that the transfer is complete. Then we’ll instruct you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to update the DNS resource records.

Q: Will my present web hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: Nah. We will never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything at all. They will not be aware of the web site transfer either.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present hosting provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your web site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website creation platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
