Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I need to transfer my website? What does website migration include?
A: The website migration service available at Tehnodar is completely free and consists of moving all your website files, databases and emails from your current provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also update all the settings needed for your websites to be completely operational on our innovative cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of moving any kind of web site. With years of work experience in the industry, they’re well–versed in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other widely used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made web application with a lot of custom libraries is as easy as transferring a plain WordPress weblog.

Q: Website migration seems like lots of work. Just how long can it take?
A: There are many aspects 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 professionals, etc. Having said that, we do try to accomplish all web site migrations in a 48–hour window. Smaller websites are transferred much faster – usually within 24 hours.
-
Q: Do you need something from me before you start transferring my site?
A: Yes. We’ll require the name of the site that you would like us to transfer. We will also need a way to access your present web hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your website.
-
Q: You will access sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Customer privacy is one of our leading concerns – this is 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 managerial operations to safeguard the info that we accumulate on the web. And we also have a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: Will there be any downtime for my site?
A: No. Your site will remain online during the transfer. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we’ll notify you so that you can examine it and check for problems. If everything’s okay, all you will need to do is modify your domain’s DNS records.
-
Q: Will my old hosting provider find out that I am leaving them?
A: No. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the website transfer either.
-
Q: Does it matter what platform my present provider is using?
A: We can migrate your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–powered hosting platform on condition that we can get access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only sites that we are unable to migrate are those based on closed–source software apps like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
