Website Migration

A: The web site migration service provided by Net For Africa is absolutely free and involves moving all your website files, databases and e–mails from your present hosting provider to your new hosting account with us. We’ll also update all the configuration settings required for your sites to be completely functional on our cutting–edge cloud hosting platform.Our techs are fully capable of moving just about any site. With years of practical experience behind their backs, they’re well–versed in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other widely used Control Panels. For them, transferring a custom–made application with numerous custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress–based weblog.

A: While we can’t give you an exact time window, since there are a lot of variables, including the physical size of the files and databases, the physical location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will do our very best to move your site within 48 hours, and in some cases – within 24 hours (when the website content is not large).

A: We will require the login information for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the site’s name (domain name).

A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we’ll have with you as a customer. We are committed to protecting the security of the personal information obtained from the clients. To accomplish this, we employ technical safety measures to prevent the loss, the misappropriation, the modification or the unauthorized leakage of the personal details under our control. The measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to safeguard and secure the details that we receive online. When we request customers to present financial information (such as a debit card number), this info is shielded using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption method.

A: Nope. Your web site will remain accessible online during the transfer. Once everything is completed on our end, we will let you know so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s OK, all you will have to do is edit your domain’s DNS settings.

A: While we migrate your web content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will not get in touch with them in any way.

A: Yep. We support all regular Linux–based hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–powered hosting platforms, since we don’t offer Windows hosting solutions ourselves.Furthermore, we don’t support proprietary web site building and administration tools such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
