Website Migration

Q: Why do I have to transfer my web site? What does website migration entail?
A: The website migration service on offer at Grab Some Space Web Hosting is entirely free of charge and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your present provider to your new web hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the configuration settings necessary for your sites to be fully functional on our ultra–modern cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of moving any type of site. With years of experience in this field, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built web app with numerous custom libraries is as easy as moving a simple WordPress–based weblog.

Q: Just how long will the web site migration procedure take?
A: We try to carry out all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Yet, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are certain aspects that you have to take into account – the sheer size of your site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We always try to carry out each migration within 48 hours. With smaller–sized sites, our team typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.

Q: My privacy concerns me. What data do you need?
A: Yeah. We will need to have the name of the web site that you would like us to move. We will also need a way to access your present web hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your web site.
-
Q: The login details for my hosting account are delicate. How can I trust you?
A: Customer privacy is one of our prime concerns – that’s why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–level digital certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative procedures to secure the information that we collect on the Internet. And we also have a detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my website?
A: Nah. Your website will continue to be available online during the migration. Once everything is completed on our end, we’ll notify you so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything’s okay, all you will need to do is change your domain’s DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: While we move your content, your web hosting provider will not be aware of the transfer at all. We won’t get in touch with them in any way.
-
Q: Which hosting platforms do you support?
A: Yes. We support all traditional Linux–based web hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–based hosting platforms, as we don’t offer Windows hosting services ourselves.Additionally, we do not support proprietary website building and administration user interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
