Website Migration

A: The web site migration service on offer at Free Domain Name is totally free and involves moving all your files, databases and emails from your present provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We will also revise all the configuration settings needed for your sites to be fully operational on our cutting–edge cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring any kind of site. With years of practical experience behind their backs, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other widely used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made web application with numerous custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a simple WordPress–based weblog.

A: While we can’t give you a precise ETA, because there are plenty of factors, including the size of the files and databases, the location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your website and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our best to move your site within 48 hours, and in certain cases – within 24 hours (if the website content is not very large).

A: We will require the login details for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the web site’s name (domain name).

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 will require that you to share the exact same info you have provided to your present web hosting provider. We’ve also got an extremely rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies how delicate info is tackled.

A: No. Your website will stay completely operational during the migration. As soon as everything is done on our end, we will inform you so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything is alright, all you will have to do is modify your domain’s DNS records.

A: Nah. Apart from your login details for the Control Panel, we don’t require anything. We will never touch base with your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the transfer either.

A: We can transfer your web site from any hosting provider or any Linux–based web hosting platform on condition that we can acquire access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only sites that we’re unable to transfer are those based on closed–source software apps such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
