Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I need to move my website? What does website migration entail?
A: The website migration service offered by merohostnepal.com is completely free and involves transferring all your website files, databases and e–mails from your present provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We will also edit all the settings necessary for your web sites to be completely operational on our super–modern cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving just about any web site. With years of work experience in this field, they are experts in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other well–known Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made app with lots of custom libraries is as easy as transferring a plain WordPress–based blog.
-
Q: Just how long will the web site migration procedure take?
A: There are a lot of aspects to consider – the total number of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the current workload of our web site migration experts, etc. Having said that, we do try to perform all web site migrations within a 48–hour window. Smaller–sized websites are transferred faster – typically in under 24 hours.
-
Q: My privacy is vital to me. What information do you need to have?
A: Yeah. We will need to have the name of the web site that you would like us to migrate. We will also need a way to log in to your current web hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your website.
-
Q: I give you access to sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Client privacy is one of our prime responsibilities – that is why, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–grade SSLs. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to protect the data that we obtain on the web. And we’ve also got a very detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: What about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: While we move your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. When the migration is finished, we’ll ensure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your data is not compromised prior to telling you that the migration is completed. After that, we’ll tell you how to transfer the domain name over to your hosting account with us and how to update your DNS records.
-
Q: Will my present hosting provider need to provide any information/help?
A: No. We’ll never touch base with your hosting provider about anything at all. They will not be aware of the web site migration either.
-
Q: Does it matter what platform my present provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. Basically, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your web site.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source web site creation platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
