Luis12.01.25We ordered the New Server Setup service, and it saved us a lot of time and effort. The guys configured everything to our requirements: they installed the necessary software, optimized the server parameters, and immediately carried out basic security. Everything went promptly, without unnecessary questions and delays. After customization, the server was fully ready to work, and we avoided the typical problems that often arise in self-installation.
-
Colin22.01.25We recently used the Server Migration service, and the process went surprisingly smoothly. We were afraid of downtime and possible errors, but the team did everything as accurately as possible: we migrated the data, configured the environment, and tested the performance. As a result, the transition went smoothly, and our clients didn't even notice the changes. We liked the fact that the specialists were in touch and promptly resolved all issues.

David08.02.25We have been working with this company for a number of years, and one of the most valuable solutions for us has been the service of a dedicated team. Previously, we faced the fact that technical support in different services could respond with delays or pass requests to different specialists. Here we have a dedicated team that knows our infrastructure very well, responds quickly to requests and even proactively solves possible problems.
-
Vanessa02.03.25One of the key advantages of working with this company for us was the service of an assigned team. This is the perfect balance between cost and quality of support. We always have access to a team of specialists who are familiar with our infrastructure, but the cost of the service remains reasonable. Decisions are made quickly and communication is always professional and clear. A great option for those who need reliable tech support without overpaying.

Natalie Kim28.06.25I’ve been using HostWorld for about 1.5 years now and their Migration & Scaling Assistance was a lifesaver when we had to move everything to a new architecture during a traffic spike. I didn’t expect such hands-on support. Their Shared Team model also fits our budget perfectly without sacrificing reliability. Highly recommend it to any small startup looking for professional hosting on a budget.

Arjun Patel03.07.25
What stands out for me is the Dedicated Team support. As someone managing a complex multi-region infrastructure, having a team that knows my systems inside and out is non-negotiable. HostWorld delivers. They helped fine-tune our Infrastructure & Hosting Management stack and have even spotted potential failures before they happened. If uptime and deep technical oversight matter to you, this is the team.

Laura12.07.25
Brand new to HostWorld and already impressed! Signed up just a month ago and the Security Support alone makes it worth it. They’re proactive. I didn’t have to chase them about setting up access controls. Add to that their 24/7 Live Chat which is super responsive and I can say this is fast and secure web hosting I actually trust.

Daniel25.07.25
HostWorld kinda just “gets it.” We’re a small dev agency so we went with the Semi-Dedicated Team plan. It’s perfect. Not too pricey but still feels personal. They helped us automate our CI/CD pipelines last month. Now deployments are smooth and I don’t have to babysit Jenkins every other day. Thanks to their DevOps support I finally sleep at night.

How do you actually achieve "zero downtime" during server migration?
- We implement live and phased migration techniques that keep your services running throughout the transition. This typically involves setting up the new environment in parallel, syncing data in real-time, and then switching traffic over during a brief maintenance window (often just minutes). For complex applications, we use techniques like DNS switching, load balancer redirects, and database replication to ensure business continuity without service interruptions.

What are the biggest risks during server migration, and how do you prevent disasters?
- The main risks include data loss, application incompatibility, extended downtime, and configuration errors. We mitigate these through comprehensive backup and data protection before starting, detailed compatibility testing in the new environment, step-by-step validation at each phase, and always maintaining rollback capabilities. Our customized migration planning identifies potential issues upfront rather than discovering them mid-migration.

How long does a typical server migration actually take from start to finish?
- Timeline depends on your environment's complexity, but our process includes initial assessment, migration plan design, environment setup, data transfer, and testing phases. Simple website migrations might complete in days, while complex enterprise environments with multiple databases and applications can take weeks. We provide realistic timelines during initial assessment and keep you informed throughout each phase.

Can you migrate between completely different platforms, like Linux to Windows or on-premise to cloud?
- Yes, our platform versatility covers all major environments and technologies. Whether you're moving from Linux to Windows, on-premise to cloud, between virtualization platforms, or upgrading operating systems, we support cross-platform migrations. Our team handles the technical challenges of compatibility, application porting, and configuration translation between different environments.

What happens after migration is complete? Will my new server perform better?
- Post-migration optimization is included in our service. Once migration is complete, we fine-tune system configurations, verify data integrity, and optimize your new server for long-term success. This often results in better performance than your original setup. We also offer optional ongoing management and monitoring, so you're never left alone after the move with questions or issues.
