Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does web site migration imply and what does it include?
A: The web site migration service provided by Ants Partner Cloud Web Hosting is entirely free of cost and involves moving all your files, databases and emails from your present provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We will also revise all the configuration settings required for your websites to be completely functional on our next–generation cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving any sort of website. With years of work experience in this field, they’re well–versed in the inner workings of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made app with a lot of custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress–based blog.

Q: How long will it take for my website to be migrated to your platform?
A: We try to perform all web site migrations ASAP. Even so, we don’t have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are several aspects that you have to take into account – the mere size of your web site and the workload of our website migration team, etc. We always try to accomplish each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized web sites, our team usually manages to finish in under 24 hours.
-
Q: Do you need something from me before you start moving my web site?
A: Yup. We will require the name of the web site that you wish us to move. We will also need a means to log into your old hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your web site.
-
Q: The login info for my hosting account is delicate. How can I rely on you?
A: Client privacy is indeed one of our top priorities – because of this, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–class digital certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to safeguard the details that we collect online. And we’ve got a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: Will my website be unavailable during the transfer?
A: Your web site will continue to work just like it did before with your former web hosting provider. When we have completed the migration, your website will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If everything is working properly, all you will have to do is edit the name server resource records associated with your domain name. Your site will be transferred over to us with no downtime.
-
Q: Will my present hosting provider need to provide any information/help?
A: While we transfer your website content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will not get in touch with them in any way.
-
Q: Which web hosting platforms do you support?
A: We can migrate your web site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–powered web hosting platform so long as we can receive access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only sites that we are unable to transfer are the ones based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
