Website Migration

A: The website migration service provided by Datalox is absolutely free and involves transferring all your files, databases and emails from your present provider to your new hosting account with us. We’ll also modify all the configuration settings needed for your web sites to be fully operational on our innovative cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring any type of site. With years of work experience in the industry, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other popular Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built app with numerous custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress–based blog.

A: There are lots of variables to consider – the total number of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the current workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. However, we do try to accomplish all web site migrations in a 48–hour time frame. Less sizeable sites are transferred faster – typically within 24 hours.

Once we have completed the migration, your website will be configured to work on our system and we’ll ask you to preview it. If it is functioning properly, all you will have to do is change the name server resource records for your domain. Your site will be migrated over to us with no downtime whatsoever.
