Website Migration

A: The web site migration service on offer at Linux Hosts Inc. is entirely free and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your present provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We’ll also modify all the configuration settings necessary for your websites to be fully operational on our avant–garde cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of moving any sort of website. With years of experience in this field, they are experts in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom web application with plenty of custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress–based blog.

A: While we can’t give you a precise ETA, because there are a lot of variables, among them the physical size of the web files and databases, the physical location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your site and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our best to migrate your site within 48 hours, and in certain cases – within 24 hours (if the website content is not very large).

A: We will need the login information for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the web site’s name (domain name).

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we will have with you as a client. We’re dedicated to safeguarding the safety of the personal details obtained from the customers. To do this, we use technical safety measures to prevent the loss, the abuse, the modification or the unlawful disclosure of the private details under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the info that we obtain on the Internet. When we ask clients to provide financial information (such as a debit card number), this info is encoded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology.

A: While we move your site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your previous hosting provider. When the migration is finished, we’ll ensure that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your web content is not jeopardized before telling you that the migration is over. After that, we’ll instruct you how to transfer the domain name to your web hosting account with us and how to edit the DNS resource records.

A: While we migrate your web content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We will not touch base with them in any way.

A: Yeah. We support all common Linux–driven hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–powered hosting platforms, because we don’t offer Windows web hosting solutions ourselves.Additionally, we do not support proprietary website creation and administration interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
