A: There are many factors to take into account – the overall number of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the web site itself and the present workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Even so, we do our very best to implement all web site migrations in a 48–hour window.

Q: How about downtime? Will my site be offline?
A: Your web site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your previous web hosting provider. Once we are through with the transfer, your website will be configured to work on our platform and we will ask you to preview it. If it is working properly, all you will have to do is edit the name server resource records for your domain name. Your website will be migrated over to us with no downtime whatsoever.
