Website Migration

A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer measure up to the necessities of your web site, or when you face continuous network downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the tech support team to respond to you, it may be smart to swap your provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your web sites together with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At Web Host73, we are aware that this can be difficult and time–consuming. This is the reason why we’ll accomplish all that for you for free!Our highly skilled technical team representatives will migrate your web site content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our technicians have got extensive experience with website migration and are able to take care of anything – from a conventional WordPress–powered blog or Joomla^™–powered web site, to an extremely complex, custom–built web application.

A: There are a lot of factors to consider – the overall number of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Yet, we do try to accomplish all web site migrations in a 48–hour period. Smaller sites are transferred faster – usually in under 24 hours.

A: We do not request any private data. We’ll require, though, the login information for your old hosting account and the name of the site that you would like to transfer.

A: User privacy is among our foremost priorities – that is why, both our payment page and our Control Panel login page are protected with enterprise–level SSLs. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial operations to safeguard the details that we acquire on the web. And we also have a very detailed and rigorous Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.

A: Your website will work just like it did before with your previous hosting provider. After we are done with the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our system and we’ll alert you to preview it. If it is working correctly, all you will need to do is edit the NS resource records pertaining to your domain name. Your website will be transferred over to us with no downtime.

A: Nope. Apart from your login info for the Control Panel, we will not require anything. We’ll never get in touch with your hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.

A: We can migrate your website from any web hosting provider or any Linux–driven web hosting platform on condition that we can obtain access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only web sites that we cannot transfer are the ones based on closed–source software applications such as Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
