6. Website Transfer
We offer complementary website transfer with the purchase of any of our Services. If you are moving to us from another hosting provider, we can assist with the transfer of your website’s data from your previous hosting provider to our servers.
Our staffs will make every effort to help you to transfer your website’s data to us, however this is done on a courtesy basis and we cannot make any guarantee about the success of the website transfer and the amount of time involved.
To ensure fairness for all Customers, website transfer requests are processed in the order that we receive them. This process can potentially take up to 48 hours depending on transfer queue size, but we will usually complete them much sooner. If a transfer request needs to be fulfilled before a certain date/time, please reach out to us in advance so it can be scheduled for you.
Due to possible differences between your previous provider’s hosting environment and ours, it is possible that your website may not function properly after the transfer. It is your responsibility to check for possible issues, as well as the integrity of your website’s data and inform us immediately if there is any issue, so that we can investigate and address accordingly. You are encouraged to maintain your previous hosting provider’s service for at least 14 days after your website has been transferred to us, in order to allow you buffer time to look through your transferred website’s data thoroughly and raise any possible issue to us for investigation.
