Q: What exactly does web site migration mean and what does it entail?
A: The website migration service on offer at YoYo Daddy O is completely free and involves transferring all your website files, databases and e–mails from your present web hosting provider to your brand–new web hosting account with us. We will also modify all the configuration settings required for your web sites to be fully functional on our avant–garde cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring just about any web site. With years of practical experience in the industry, they’re experts in the inner workings of our cloud hosting platform, our Control Panel and all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made app with numerous custom libraries is as elementary as moving a plain WordPress blog.

Q: Website migration sounds like a lot of work. Just how long is it going to take?
A: While we can’t give you a precise time frame, since there are many factors, among them the size of the files and databases, the physical location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your web site and the present workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we will give our best to migrate your site within 48h, and in some cases – within 24h (if the content is not very large).

Q: My personal privacy is vital to me. What details do you need to have?
A: We’ll need the login information for your old web hosting provider’s Control Panel and the site’s name (domain name).

Q: My old web hosting account has delicate data inside. How can I rely on you?
A: Client privacy is truly one of our fundamental priorities – because of this, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–level digital certificates. We employ security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial operations to protect the info that we receive on the World Wide Web. And we’ve also got a very detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.

Q: Will my website be offline during the transfer?
A: Nah. Your web site will stay accessible online during the migration. As soon as everything is done on our end, we will notify you so that you can preview it and check for problems. If everything is fine, all you will have to do is modify your domain’s DNS resource records.

Q: Will my old web hosting provider need to provide any info/help?
A: While we migrate your website content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We won’t touch base with them in any way.

Q: Which web hosting providers can you migrate content from?
A: We can migrate your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–based web hosting platform on condition that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only sites that we can’t migrate are the ones based on closed–source software apps such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
