Website Migration

A: The website migration service offered by TightHost is totally free of charge and consists of moving all your web files, databases and e–mails from your present hosting provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We will also modify all the configuration settings needed for your websites to be completely operational on our ultra–modern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring any sort of site. With years of practical experience in this field, they are experts in the specificities of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made web app with lots of custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress–based weblog.

A: While we can’t give you an exact time window, because there are plenty of variables, among them the size of the web 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’ll try our best to migrate your website within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (when the content is not large).

A: We’ll require the login information for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we will have with you as a customer. We are focused on protecting the security of the personal information obtained from the customers. To accomplish this, we use technical safety measures so as to avoid the loss, the misapplication, the modification or the illegal leak of the private data under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative operations to safeguard and secure the details that we receive on the web. When we ask customers to submit financial info (for example, a credit card number), this info is encrypted using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption method.

A: Your web site will continue to work just like it did before with your previous hosting provider. After we have finished the migration, your website will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we’ll ask you to preview it. If everything is functioning properly, all you will need to do is edit the NS resource records for your domain. Your website will be migrated over to us without any downtime.

A: Nah. We’ll never touch base with your hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the web site transfer either.

A: We support all Linux–driven hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can get access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to migrate your website.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website building platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
