Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does web site migration mean and what does it involve?
A: The website migration service provided by Computer Systems Unlimited is totally free of cost and consists of moving all your files, databases and emails from your present hosting provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the settings needed for your websites to be completely functional on our innovative cloud hosting platform.Our technicians are completely capable of transferring any type of website. With years of experience in the industry, they’re experts 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 numerous custom libraries is as easy as transferring a plain WordPress blog.

Q: How much time will it take for my site to be transferred over to your platform?
A: While we can’t give you an exact time interval, because there are a lot of variables, including the size of the files and databases, the physical location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your website and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll try our best to transfer your website within 48 hours, and in some cases – within 24 hours (in case the content is not very large).
-
Q: Do you need something from me before you start transferring my website?
A: We’ll require the login details for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the site’s name (domain name).
-
Q: My old hosting account has sensitive data inside. How can I rely on you?
A: User privacy is truly one of our top responsibilities – that’s why, both our payment page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–class SSLs. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial methods to secure the info that we obtain online. And we’ve got a detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.
-
Q: Will there be any downtime for my website?
A: While we transfer your website, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. Once the transfer is complete, we’ll ensure that everything is working properly and that the integrity of your data is not compromised before telling you that the transfer is completed. After that, we will explain to you how to move the domain to your hosting account with us and how to edit the DNS settings.
-
Q: Will my old hosting provider discover that I’m leaving them?
A: Nope. Apart from your login details for the Control Panel, we don’t require anything. We will never get in touch with your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Which web hosting platforms do you support?
A: Yeah. We support all common Linux–based hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–based web hosting platforms, as we do not provide Windows hosting services ourselves.We also don’t support proprietary website building and management interfaces such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
