Q: Why should I transfer my website? What does website migration include?
A: The web site migration service available at Yellowhosting.org is completely free and involves moving all your web files, databases and e–mails from your current web hosting provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We will also revise all the configuration settings required for your sites to be fully operational on our next–generation cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of transferring just about any website. With years of experience in this field, they are well–versed in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, moving a custom web application with many custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a simple WordPress–based weblog.

Q: Web site migration sounds like lots of work. How much time will it take?
A: We strive to implement all web site migrations as fast as possible. Nonetheless, we don’t have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are various factors that you need to take into account – the sheer size of your site and the workload of our website migration staff, etc. We constantly try to carry out each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized web sites, our team typically manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: What details will I have to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: Yep. We’ll need to have the name of the web site that you want us to migrate. We’ll also require a means to access your current web hosting account so that we can get the files pertaining to your website.

Q: I give you access to delicate data. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: In order for us to start the transfer of your account, you must first open an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose exactly the same information you have given to your previous host. We’ve also got an extremely strict Privacy Policy, which describes how delicate data is used.

Q: Will my website be unavailable during the migration?
A: Your website will work exactly like it did before with your previous hosting provider. After we have completed the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our system and we will ask you to preview it. If it is functioning properly, all you will have to do is change the name server records pertaining to your domain name. Your web site will be migrated to us with no downtime.

Q: Will my present hosting provider need to provide any information/help?
A: Nope. We will never get in touch with your web hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the website transfer either.

Q: Which web hosting platforms do you support?
A: We can transfer your website from any web hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform given that we can get access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only websites that we are unable to transfer are the ones based on closed–source software apps like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
