Website Migration
-
Q: What does the web site migration service include? Will my site be safe?
A: The web site migration service provided by Piunoff Web Services is entirely free of cost and involves moving all your files, databases and emails from your present provider to your new web hosting account with us. We will also edit all the configuration settings needed for your sites to be fully operational on our leading–edge cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring any kind of website. With years of practical experience in the industry, they’re experts in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other well–known Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built web app with numerous custom libraries is as elementary as moving a simple WordPress weblog.

Q: Just how long will the website migration procedure take?
A: There are plenty of aspects to think about – the total amount of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration experts, etc. That said, we do try to accomplish all website migrations within a 48–hour window. Less sizeable web sites are migrated faster – typically within 24 hours.
-
Q: My privacy is crucial to me. What details do you need to have?
A: We do not request any information that is personal. We’ll need, though, the login information for your present web hosting account and the name of the web site that you need to migrate.
-
Q: You will access delicate info. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a client. We are dedicated to safeguarding the safety of the private info collected from the clients. To do that, we employ technical safety measures to prevent the loss, the misuse, the alteration or the unlawful disclosure of the information under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the details that we obtain on the Internet. When we ask users to provide financial info (such as a debit card number), this info is shielded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.
-
Q: Will my website be offline during the transfer?
A: Your web site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your old hosting provider. As soon as we are through with the transfer, your website will be configured to work on our platform and we will ask you to preview it. If everything is working correctly, all you will need to do is edit the NS resource records associated with your domain. Your site will be migrated over to us without any downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my current hosting provider know that I am leaving them?
A: Nah. We’ll never touch base with your hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the web site transfer either.
-
Q: Which web hosting providers can you transfer website content from?
A: We can transfer your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform given that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only websites that we are unable to migrate are those based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
