Q: Why should I transfer my website? What does web site migration include?
A: The web site migration service available at Hospedaje Top is absolutely free of cost and involves transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your current hosting provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the settings required for your sites to be completely functional on our ultramodern cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of transferring any sort of site. With years of experience behind their backs, they’re well–versed in the specificities of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other widely used Control Panels. For them, moving a custom application with many custom libraries is as elementary as moving a simple WordPress–based blog.

Q: How much time will it take for my site to be moved over to your platform?
A: There are plenty of aspects to keep in mind – the overall amount of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. However, we do our best to carry out all website migrations in a 48–hour time period. Smaller–sized web sites are migrated faster – usually in less than 24 hours.

Q: What info will I have to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: We will require the login details for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: My present hosting account has delicate data inside. How can I trust you?
A: In order for us to begin the migration of your web hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to share practically the same information you have provided to your present web hosting provider. We also have an extremely rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes how delicate info is used.

Q: Will my site be offline during the transfer?
A: Your site will work exactly like it did before with your old web hosting provider. After we have finished the migration, your website will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we will alert you to preview it. If everything is working properly, all you will need to do is modify the name server resource records pertaining to your domain name. Your website will be transferred over to us without any downtime.

Q: Will my present web hosting provider need to do anything?
A: No. We will never contact your web hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the web site migration either.
-
Q: Does it make any difference what platform my current provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. Generally, if we can get access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to migrate your web site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source web site building platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
