Website Migration

A: The website migration service on offer at Flying Sulcer is completely free of charge and involves moving all your website files, databases and emails from your current hosting provider to your new web hosting account with us. We will also revise all the settings necessary for your web sites to be completely operational on our next–generation cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving any kind of web site. With years of experience behind their backs, they are experts in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made application with a lot of custom libraries is as elementary as moving a plain WordPress weblog.

A: We strive to carry out all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, we don’t have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are several variables that you need to take into consideration – the mere size of your site and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We constantly try to perform each migration within 48 hours. With smaller websites, our team typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.

A: We don’t gather any sensitive info. We will need, though, the login info for your current hosting account along with the name of the website that you would like to move.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a customer. We’re focused on protecting the safety of the private info obtained from the customers. To accomplish this, we use technical security measures so as to avoid the loss, the misapplication, the alteration or the unauthorized disclosure of the private info under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information that we accumulate on the web. When we request users to supply financial information (such as a credit card number), this info is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technique.

A: While we move your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your previous hosting provider. As soon as the migration is completed, we’ll make sure that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your web content is not affected prior to telling you that the migration is complete. After that, we will tell you how to transfer the domain name to your web hosting account with us and how to change the DNS settings.

A: Nope. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the web site transfer either.

A: We support all Linux–powered web hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source site creation platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
