Frequently Asked Questions

Will my site experience downtime during migration?

With our migration methods, your site remains online during the entire process. The actual switchover happens only when the migration is complete and verified, resulting in minimal to no downtime.

How long does migration take?

Our free migration service typically completes within 24-48 hours. If you choose to migrate yourself using a plugin or manual method, the time depends on your site's size and your experience level.

Will I lose any data during migration?

No, our migration process is designed to transfer all your content, themes, plugins, and settings. We also create a backup of your site before migration for additional safety.

What if I have multiple WordPress sites?

We can migrate multiple WordPress sites to our hosting platform. Each site will be handled separately to ensure a smooth transition.
