Website Migration

A: The web site migration service available at Four-C Hosting is completely free of cost and involves moving all your files, databases and e–mails from your current web hosting provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We will also update all the settings necessary for your sites to be fully operational on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring any sort of website. With years of work experience behind their backs, they are experts in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other famous Control Panels. For them, moving a custom app with lots of custom libraries is as elementary as moving a plain WordPress–based blog.

A: There are many variables to take into account – the total amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our web site migration experts, etc. However, we do our best to implement all website migrations within a 48–hour window. Smaller–sized web sites are migrated much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

A: We’ll need the login information for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the website’s name (domain name).

A: Customer privacy is one of our principal priorities – that is why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–grade SSLs. We employ safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect the information that we accumulate on the web. And we also have a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we collect.

A: While we transfer your website, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your previous web hosting provider. Once the transfer is over, we’ll make sure that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your content is not affected before telling you that the transfer is done. After that, we will explain to you how to move the domain over to your web hosting account with us and how to change your DNS records.

A: Nope. We will never contact your hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the web site transfer either.

A: We can transfer your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–powered web hosting platform on condition that we can access the Control Panel and there is FTP access available.The only web sites that we cannot transfer are those based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
