Migration to inmotion – Time-frame and keeping track

Avatar
  • Answered
I submitted the form for the automated migration from my old host to inmotion.

I got a confirmation by email. Contrary to what I was told before (24-48 hours) the confirmation now says "Website Transfers typically take up to 3 to 4 weeks to complete".
24-48 hours time for transfer was one of the reasons I decided to do the migration to inmotion.
Please clarify!

Also, how do I keep track on how the migration is going? The confirmation email says "We will be in touch, via email, throughout the process to keep you up-to-date". Does that mean I'll be informed when it starts and when it's done? I haven't seen any progress emails yet. Is there any other way for me to keep track of progress?
I need to know when I need to have my website in maintenance mode for possible interruptions or downtime, and when I may experience lack or absence of email traffic. I need to know that as well in order to know when to cancel my current host account (I don't want to pay double – cancellation is 1st for following month).

Thanks!
