Q: What exactly does website migration mean and what does it involve?
A: The website migration service offered by Tshiri is totally free of charge and involves moving all your files, databases and e–mails from your present hosting provider to your new web hosting account with us. We will also modify all the configuration settings needed for your web sites to be fully functional on our cutting–edge cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of moving any type of website. With years of experience in the industry, they are well–versed in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other well–known Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–built application with numerous custom libraries is as easy as transferring a simple WordPress–based blog.

Q: Website migration seems like lots of work. How much time can it take?
A: While we cannot give you a precise time window, since there are a lot of factors, among them the physical size of the web files and databases, the location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll give our best to transfer your site within 48h, and in certain cases – within 24h (when the content is not large).

Q: My privacy is important to me. What data do you require?
A: We don’t collect any information that is personal. We will require, however, the login info for your old hosting account and the name of the website that you need to transfer.

Q: My present web hosting account has delicate data inside. How can I trust you?
A: Customer privacy is truly one of our foremost priorities – this is why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–grade Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial operations to secure the info that we receive online. And we’ve got a detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we gather.

Q: Will my website be unavailable during the migration?
A: While we migrate your site, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your former web hosting provider. Once the migration is finished, we’ll make sure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not affected prior to notifying you that the transfer is complete. After that, we will tell you how to transfer the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to change your DNS settings.

Q: Will my present hosting provider discover that I am leaving them?
A: While we migrate your web content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will not get in touch with them in any way.

Q: Which hosting providers can you transfer content from?
A: Yes. We support all common Linux–based hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–driven web hosting platforms, because we do not offer Windows hosting services ourselves.We also do not support proprietary web site creation and administration user interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
