Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does web site migration mean and what does it include?
A: The website migration service offered by Push Button Web is absolutely free of charge and involves transferring all your files, databases and e–mails from your current provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also update all the settings necessary for your web sites to be completely functional on our leading–edge cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of moving any type of website. With years of practical experience in this field, they’re well–versed in the specificities of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–built application with multiple custom libraries is as elementary as transferring a plain WordPress–based blog.

Q: How long will the web site migration procedure take?
A: There are lots of factors to consider – the total amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our website migration professionals, etc. That being said, we do our best to carry out all web site migrations within a 48–hour window. Less sizeable web sites are transferred faster – usually in under 24 hours.
-
Q: My privacy concerns me. What information do you require?
A: We don’t require any personal data. We’ll need, however, the login info for your current web hosting account along with the name of the web site that you would like to migrate.
-
Q: My present hosting account has sensitive data inside. How can I rely on you?
A: User privacy is among our leading responsibilities – that’s why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–class digital certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial operations to safeguard the info that we gather online. And we’ve also got a very detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.
-
Q: How about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: While we migrate your site, 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 over, we will make certain that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your web content is not compromised before notifying you that the migration is finished. After that, we’ll explain to you how to transfer the domain over to your hosting account with us and how to modify your DNS records.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider learn that I am leaving them?
A: Nah. We’ll never get in touch with your web hosting provider about anything at all. They will not be aware of the website migration either.
-
Q: Which web hosting platforms do you support?
A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. Basically, if we can access your Control Panel, we will be able to transfer your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
