UK-Cheapest.co.uk proudly offers a specialised website migration service, ensuring a hassle-free transfer of your site from servers like cPanel to Plesk. Our skilled team is dedicated to executing this process with precision, minimising downtime, and preserving the integrity of your data.

The cost of our website migration service varies depending on the complexity and specific requirements of your site.

For straightforward, single database or static websites, we are pleased to offer this service at a low cost, ensuring a seamless transition with little financial burden.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How long does the website migration process take?

  • The duration of migration varies depending on the size and complexity of your website. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. We aim to minimise downtime and will provide you with a more accurate timeline once we assess your specific needs.

2. Will my website be offline during migration?

  • We strive to minimise downtime as much as possible. In most cases, your website will remain online during the migration process. Any necessary downtime will be brief and planned during off-peak hours to reduce impact.

3. Is my data safe during the migration process?

  • Absolutely. Data security is our top priority. We do not make any changes to the source data. The migration process makes a copy of your original data onto the target server.

4. Will my website’s performance be affected after migration?

  • Your website’s performance should not be negatively affected. In fact, many clients experience improved performance and loading speeds post-migration due to our optimised server configurations.

5. What do I need to provide for the migration process?

Fair Use Policy for Unlimited Storage on Our Shared Hosting Packages

At UKC, we take pride in offering unlimited resources as part of a selection of our hosting plans. However, it’s important to understand that “unlimited” resources must be governed by a fair use policy to ensure optimal service quality for all our clients. This policy outlines the responsible usage of our hosting resources, ensuring that every client gets the best possible hosting experience.

1. Purpose of Web Storage:

  • The unlimited hosting space provided is intended solely for the active files necessary for the running of your website. This includes your website’s code, databases, and media files essential for its operation.

2. Prohibited Uses of Web Storage:

  • The hosting space should not be used as a digital archive or for storing backups, large media files not used by your website, or any other files unrelated to the regular functioning of your website. Our goal is to maintain high-performance levels for all users, and using the space for unintended purposes could impair this goal.

3. One Account, One Entity:

  • To maintain the integrity of our hosting environment, each hosting account must only host websites belonging to a single entity. This policy is in place to prevent web agencies or developers from hosting multiple clients’ websites under one account. Each client or entity should have their own dedicated hosting account.

4. Monitoring and Enforcement:

  • We regularly monitor the usage of our hosting services to ensure compliance with this fair use policy. If we find that an account is not adhering to these guidelines, we will reach out to discuss appropriate solutions, which may include upgrading to a more suitable hosting plan or removing non-compliant files.

5. Adaptive Storage Allocation:

  • To enhance the security and efficiency of our hosting services, UKC implements an adaptive storage allocation strategy for our unlimited storage plans. Storage space is allocated in manageable chunks or blocks, and additional storage is provided as and when needed. This proactive approach serves a dual purpose: firstly, it safeguards against potential Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, where excessive demands on storage could compromise server stability. Secondly, it prevents a malfunctioning or compromised website from consuming excessive resources, thereby ensuring that all clients on the server are protected from the cascading effects of such incidents. This method of allocation is part of our commitment to maintaining a secure, reliable, and high-performing hosting environment for all our clients.

6. Our Commitment to Quality Hosting:

  • This policy is designed to safeguard the quality and reliability of our hosting services for all clients. By ensuring that our resources are used appropriately, we can continue offering high-quality, unlimited hosting that genuinely meets your website’s needs.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this fair use policy. It is our commitment to provide you with exceptional hosting services, and adhering to these guidelines helps us achieve this goal for all our clients.
