Website Migration

A: If your current web hosting provider can no longer match the necessities of your site, or if you suffer from regular downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the client care staff to get back to you, it might be a good idea to change your web hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your sites along with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At hosting-people, we realize that this can be hard and time–consuming. For this reason, we will accomplish all that for you for free!Our highly capable technical team will move your website content from your present hosting provider to us. Our technicians have broad experience with web site migration and are able to take care of everything – from a typical WordPress blog or Joomla^™ CMS–based web site, to an extremely elaborate, custom–built app.

A: There are a lot of factors to think about – the overall amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration experts, etc. Nonetheless, we do try to perform all web site migrations in a 48–hour time period. Less sizeable sites are transferred faster – typically within 24 hours.

A: We’ll require the login information for your current hosting provider’s Control Panel as well as the web site’s name (domain name).

A: User privacy is among our primary priorities – because of this, both our payment page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–level Secure Sockets Layer certificates. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative operations to secure the information that we acquire online. And we’ve also got a very detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.

A: Your site will continue to work exactly like it did before with your old hosting provider. When we are through with the migration, your website will be configured to work on our web hosting platform and we’ll alert you to preview it. If it is working correctly, all you will need to do is update the name server records corresponding to your domain name. Your web site will be transferred over to us with no downtime whatsoever.

A: Nah. We will never contact your hosting provider about anything at all. They will not be aware of the website transfer either.

A: We support all Linux–based web hosting platforms. Essentially, if we can obtain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source web site building platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
