Q: What does the web site migration service consist of? Will my website be secure?
A: The website migration service provided by LittleMonkey Hosting is entirely free of charge and consists of transferring all your website files, databases and emails from your current hosting provider to your brand new web hosting account with us. We’ll also revise all the settings necessary for your sites to be completely functional on our innovative cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring just about any web site. With years of practical experience behind their backs, they are experts in the inner workings of our hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other famous Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom web app with many custom libraries is as easy as moving a plain WordPress–based blog.

Q: Just how long will the website migration procedure take?
A: We try to implement all web site migrations as quickly as possible. Even so, we do not have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are various aspects that you need to take into consideration – the actual size of your website and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We constantly strive to perform each migration within 48 hours. With less sizeable web sites, our staff usually manages to finish in less than 24 hours.

Q: What info will I need to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: We will require the login details for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the web site’s name (domain name).

Q: You will access sensitive info. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we’ll have with you as a client. We’re dedicated to safeguarding the safety of the personal information gathered from the clients. To accomplish that, we employ technical security measures to avoid the loss, the abuse, the modification or the unlawful disclosure of the information under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative operations to safeguard and secure the info that we accumulate on the World Wide Web. When we request clients to submit financial info (for instance, a credit card number), this info is encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption method.

Q: How about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: Nah. Your website will continue to be reachable online during the transfer. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we’ll let you know so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s okay, all you will need to do is change your domain name’s DNS settings.

Q: Will my old hosting provider need to do anything?
A: Nope. Aside from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not need anything. We will never touch base with your hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.

Q: Does it make any difference what platform my present hosting provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–based web hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can get access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website management platforms such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
