Website Migration

A: The website migration service on offer at Hostology is completely free and consists of moving all your files, databases and e–mails from your current provider to your brand new hosting account with us. We will also revise all the settings needed for your websites to be completely functional on our next–generation cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of moving any kind of website. With years of practical experience in this field, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our web hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other commonly used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made app with many custom libraries is as easy as moving a simple WordPress–based blog.
