Website Migration

A: The website migration service offered by Your Home PC Tech is absolutely free of charge and involves moving all your web files, databases and e–mails from your current hosting provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We’ll also fine–tune all the settings needed for your web sites to be fully functional on our state–of–the–art cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are fully capable of transferring any sort of web site. With years of practical experience in this field, they’re experts in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–built web application with many custom libraries is as easy as moving a simple WordPress–based weblog.

A: There are plenty of factors to keep in mind – the overall amount of files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our website migration experts, etc. Even so, we do try to accomplish all website migrations in a 48–hour period. Smaller web sites are migrated faster – usually in less than 24 hours.

Opening an account with us requires that you to share literally the same info you have provided to your present hosting provider. We’ve also got an extremely rigorous Privacy Policy, which specifies how private data is used.

After that, we will instruct you how to move the domain name to your web hosting account with us and how to change your DNS resource records.
