Website Migration

A: The website migration service on offer at Ovi Server is totally free of cost and consists of moving all your web files, databases and e–mails from your present hosting provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We’ll also modify all the settings needed for your web sites to be fully operational on our ultra–modern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving just about any web site. With years of experience behind their backs, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built application with multiple custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a simple WordPress–based weblog.

A: We try to accomplish all website migrations as fast as possible. Nevertheless, we do not have a set time frame for website migrations. There are certain variables that you need to take into consideration – the very size of your website and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We constantly try to implement each migration within 48 hours. With smaller–sized sites, our team typically manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

A: Before we can begin the transfer of your hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to disclose exactly the same information you have given to your old web hosting provider. We’ve also got a very strict Privacy Policy, which specifies how sensitive information is dealt with.

A: Nah. Your website will remain completely operational during the migration. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we will notify you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything’s fine, all you will need to do is change your domain name’s DNS resource records.

A: While we move your web content, your web hosting provider will not be aware of the transfer at all. We will never get in touch with them in any way.
