Website Migration

A: The website migration service available at Peep Host is completely free and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your present web hosting provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the settings required for your web sites to be completely operational on our super–modern cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of moving any sort of site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they’re well–versed in the inner workings of our hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other famous Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built application with plenty of custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a plain WordPress blog.

A: While we cannot give you an exact time window, because there are plenty of variables, among them the physical size of the web files and databases, the location of the current host’s server, the complexity of your website and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will try our very best to transfer your site within 48h, and in some cases – within 24h (in case the content is not large).

A: Yup. We’ll require the name of the web site that you wish us to move. We will also require a way to log into your current hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your web site.

A: In order for us to begin the transfer of your hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us requires that you to share essentially the same details you have given to your old web host. We also have a very strict Privacy Policy, which describes how private info is dealt with.

A: While we move your website, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. Once the transfer is done, we’ll ensure that everything is functioning properly and that the integrity of your web content is not affected prior to telling you that the migration is completed. Then we will instruct you how to move the domain to your web hosting account with us and how to edit your DNS resource records.

A: No. Aside from your login details for the Control Panel, we do not need anything. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.

A: Yes. We support all standard Linux–powered web hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–powered web hosting platforms, because we do not offer Windows web hosting services ourselves.Furthermore, we don’t support proprietary web site building and administration user interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
