Q: Why should I move my web site? What does website migration involve?
A: The web site migration service available at The Host Buster is completely free of cost and consists of transferring all your files, databases and emails from your present provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also fine–tune all the configuration settings necessary for your web sites to be completely functional on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of moving any kind of website. With years of experience in the industry, they’re experts in the inner workings of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom web application with plenty of custom libraries is as elementary as moving a simple WordPress blog.

Q: How much time will it take for my site to be migrated over to your platform?
A: We try to implement all website migrations as fast as possible. Even so, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are various elements that you need to take into consideration – the actual size of your website and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We constantly try to carry out each migration in under 48 hours. With smaller–sized web sites, our team typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.

Q: My personal privacy is essential for me. What details do you need?
A: We do not need any personal data. We will require, though, the login information for your old hosting account as well as the name of the site that you’d like to migrate.

Q: My current hosting account has delicate data inside. How can I trust you?
A: User privacy is among our main priorities – this is why, both our payment page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–class SSLs. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial procedures to secure the information that we assemble on the World Wide Web. And we’ve also got a very detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we collect.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my website?
A: No. Your site will remain reachable online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we’ll tell you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything’s OK, all you will need to do is edit your domain name’s DNS settings.
-
Q: Will my present web hosting provider need to provide any info/assistance?
A: While we transfer your content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We will never contact them in any way.

Q: Which web hosting providers can you migrate web content from?
A: Yup. We support all traditional Linux–powered hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–driven hosting platforms, because we do not provide Windows hosting services ourselves.Additionally, we don’t support proprietary web site building and management user interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
