Website Migration

Q: Why do I need to transfer my site? What does web site migration entail?
A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer satisfy the needs of your web site, or when you face constant downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the customer support staff to get back to you, it may be smart to change your web hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your websites as well as your databases from your present provider to your new provider. At Inway Hosting India, we understand that this can be hard and time–consuming. This is the reason why we’ll accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our highly knowledgeable technical staff will migrate your web site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our techs have got plenty of experience migrating web sites and can take care of anything – from a conventional WordPress–based blog or Joomla™ CMS–powered website, to a highly elaborate, custom–built web app.

Q: Website migration sounds like a lot of work. How long will it take?
A: We try to accomplish all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, we do not have a set time frame for web site migrations. There are various aspects that you need to take into consideration – the actual size of your website and the workload of our web site migration team, etc. We constantly strive to implement each migration within 48 hours. With smaller–sized web sites, our staff usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: What data will I need to give to your Website Migration Department?
A: We’ll need the login information for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).

Q: My present web hosting account has delicate info inside. How can I trust you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we will have with you as a client. We’re dedicated to protecting the security of the personal info collected from the customers. To do that, we use technical security measures to prevent the loss, the abuse, the modification or the unauthorized leakage of the personal details under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to safeguard and secure the data that we accumulate on the World Wide Web. When we ask customers to supply financial info (such as a debit card number), this info is masked using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology.

Q: Will there be any outage for my web site?
A: Your website will continue to work just like it did before with your old hosting provider. As soon as we have finished the transfer, your web site will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning properly, all you will have to do is edit the NS resource records associated with your domain. Your site will be transferred over to us without any downtime.

Q: Will my current hosting provider need to provide any info/help?
A: No. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the website transfer either.

Q: Does it make any difference what platform my present provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your web site.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.
