Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does website migration mean and what does it entail?
A: The website migration service provided by Yildiz Hosting is absolutely free and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and e–mails from your current provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the configuration settings necessary for your web sites to be fully functional on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of moving just about any site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made web application with multiple custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress–based blog.
-
Q: Just how long will the website migration procedure take?
A: While we cannot give you a precise time frame, since there are plenty of variables, including the physical size of the files and databases, the location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll give our best to move your site within 48 hours, and in some cases – within 24 hours (when the content is not large).
-
Q: Do you require anything from me before you begin moving my web site?
A: Yup. We’ll need the name of the website that you wish us to migrate. We’ll also need a way to access your current web hosting account so that we can get the files associated with your site.
-
Q: My old hosting account has sensitive info inside. How can I rely on you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we will have with you as a client. We are focused on protecting the safety of the personal information gathered from the clients. To do that, we employ technical safety measures in order to prevent the loss, the misapplication, the alteration or the unauthorized leak of the information under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative methods to safeguard and secure the information that we gather on the web. When we request users to supply financial info (such as a debit card number), this info is secured using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption method.

Q: Will my website be offline during the transfer?
A: While we move your site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old hosting provider. After the transfer is done, we’ll ensure that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your content is not compromised prior to informing you that the migration is finished. After that, we’ll instruct you how to transfer the domain name to your hosting account with us and how to edit the DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider need to provide any information/help?
A: Nope. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not need anything. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Which web hosting providers can you migrate content from?
A: We support all Linux–driven web hosting platforms. In essence, if we can acquire access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source web site management platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
