Q: What does the web site migration service consist of? Will my website be secure?

A: The website migration service provided by Host a Domain is absolutely free of cost and consists of moving all your web files, databases and emails from your current provider to your new hosting account with us. We will also edit all the configuration settings required for your websites to be completely operational on our advanced cloud hosting platform.Our techs are completely capable of transferring any sort of web site. With years of work experience behind their backs, they are experts in the specificities of our hosting platform, our Control Panel as well as all other popular Control Panels. For them, moving a custom–made web app with a lot of custom libraries is as easy as moving a simple WordPress weblog.
