Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I need to move my site? What does website migration involve?
A: The website migration service provided by DjPCs is absolutely free and involves moving all your website files, databases and e–mails from your present hosting provider to your new hosting account with us. We will also edit all the configuration settings needed for your web sites to be completely functional on our leading–edge cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of moving any type of web site. With years of work experience behind their backs, they’re experts in the inner workings of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other widely used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom web application with numerous custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress weblog.

Q: Website migration seems like a lot of work. How much time can it take?
A: There are many variables to take into consideration – the overall amount of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the current workload of our website migration experts, etc. Still, we do our very best to perform all web site migrations within a 48–hour period. Less sizeable websites are transferred much faster – usually in under 24 hours.

Q: My privacy is essential for me. What details do you need to have?
A: Yes. We’ll need the name of the web site that you want us to transfer. We’ll also need a way to log into your current web hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your web site.

Q: My old web hosting account has delicate data inside. How can I rely on you?
A: Client privacy is indeed one of our chief priorities – that’s why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade digital certificates. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative operations to protect the information that we gather on the web. And we have a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.

Q: How about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: Your web site will work just like it did before with your former web hosting provider. Once we are through with the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our system and we’ll ask you to preview it. If it is working correctly, all you will need to do is change the name server records pertaining to your domain name. Your web site will be migrated to us without any downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my current hosting provider need to provide any info/help?
A: Nah. Apart from your login credentials for the Control Panel, we won’t require anything. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Which hosting providers can you transfer data from?
A: We support all Linux–based hosting platforms. In essence, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website management platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
