Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does website migration imply and what does it entail?
A: When your present web hosting provider can no longer meet the requirements of your website, or if you suffer from continual downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the support staff to reply to you, it may be a clever idea to swap your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your sites as well as your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At Please host my site. Quality webhosting, we understand that this can often be hard & time–consuming. That is the reason why we will accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our professional technical team representatives will transfer your website content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have a lot of experience migrating websites and are able to take care of everything – from a typical WordPress–powered weblog or Joomla™ CMS–driven site, to an extremely complex, custom–made app.

Q: Just how long will it take for my web site to be transferred over to your platform?
A: While we can’t give you an exact ETA, because there are a lot of variables, including the size of the web files and databases, the location of the present host’s server, the complexity of your site and the current workload of our Website Migration Department, etc., we’ll give our best to migrate your web site within 48 hours, and in certain cases – within 24 hours (in case the website content is not very large).
-
Q: Do you need something from me before you start transferring my web site?
A: We don’t request any private information. We will need, though, the login information for your current web hosting account and the name of the website that you’d like to move.
-
Q: My present web hosting account has delicate data inside. How can I trust you?
A: Client privacy is indeed one of our main responsibilities – for this reason, both our payment transaction page and our Control Panel login page are secured with enterprise–grade SSLs. We employ safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative procedures to secure the info that we collect on the Internet. And we also have a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.
-
Q: What about downtime? Will my web site be offline?
A: While we move your site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old web hosting provider. When the transfer is complete, we will make sure that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your data is not compromised before notifying you that the transfer is finished. Then we will explain to you how to move the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to modify the DNS records.
-
Q: Will my current hosting provider need to do anything?
A: While we migrate your content, your web hosting provider won’t be aware of the migration at all. We will never get in touch with them in any way.
-
Q: Does it matter what platform my current hosting provider is using?
A: Yeah. We support all regular Linux–based hosting platforms. We don’t support Windows–powered web hosting platforms, as we don’t provide Windows hosting solutions ourselves.In addition, we don’t support proprietary web site building and management tools such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
