Free Migration FAQs
Quick answers about scope, downtime, and migration planning.
How long does free migration usually take?
Most standard migrations are completed in 24-48 hours. Complex environments can take longer, depending on data volume, custom services, and DNS propagation windows.
Will my site go offline during migration?
The migration process is planned for continuity. Your existing site remains live while data is transferred and validated before DNS cutover.
Do you migrate email accounts and mailbox data?
Yes. Avalon migration support includes mailbox-related data and mail settings as part of eligible migration scope.
Do I need to move my domain registrar to Avalon?
No. Domain transfer is not required. We can migrate hosting and guide DNS updates while your registrar stays unchanged.
What do you need from my current provider?
We typically need control panel access or backup artifacts, DNS details, and confirmation of critical application requirements before scheduling transfer.
What if my setup is custom or complex?
Custom stacks are supported through migration assessment. Share your architecture details and we will provide a tailored migration plan.
