Website Migration

A: The website migration service on offer at Self-Server.net is absolutely free and consists of moving all your website files, databases and e–mails from your current hosting provider to your brand–new hosting account with us. We’ll also fine–tune all the settings needed for your sites to be completely operational on our next–generation cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring just about any site. With years of practical experience behind their backs, they’re well–versed in the specificities of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other well–known Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built web app with many custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress–based blog.

A: There are many variables to think about – the total amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our website migration experts, etc. However, we do our best to accomplish all website migrations within a 48–hour window. Smaller web sites are transferred much faster – typically within 24 hours.

A: We will require the login details for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).

A: User privacy is among our greatest concerns – this is why, both our payment page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–grade SSL certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative methods to secure the data that we assemble on the World Wide Web. And we’ve also got a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we collect.

A: No. Your web site will remain accessible online during the migration. Once everything is done on our end, we will tell you so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s alright, all you will have to do is update your domain’s DNS settings.

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

A: Yep. We support all regular Linux–driven web hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–driven web hosting platforms, since we don’t offer Windows web hosting solutions ourselves.In addition, we don’t support proprietary web site building and management tools such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
