Website Migration
-
Q: What precisely does website migration mean and what does it involve?
A: When your current web hosting provider can no longer satisfy the needs of your site, or if you face regular network downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the tech support staff to reply to you, it might be a smart idea to change your hosting provider, i.e. to transfer all the files for your sites along with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At webserver.team, we understand that this can be difficult & time–consuming. That’s why we’ll perform all that for you at no cost!Our experienced technical staff will migrate your web site content from your present web hosting provider to us. Our technicians have got a lot of experience migrating websites and are able to handle anything – from a customary WordPress blog or Joomla™ CMS–powered site, to a highly complex, custom–built application.

Q: How much time will it take for my web site to be migrated over to your platform?
A: There are plenty of factors to bear in mind – the total amount of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the current workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Nonetheless, we do our best to accomplish all website migrations within a 48–hour time period. Smaller web sites are migrated much faster – usually in less than 24 hours.
-
Q: What details will I have to give to your Website Migration Department?
A: Yeah. We will need to have the name of the website that you’d like us to transfer. We’ll also require a means to log in to your old web hosting account so that we can get the content pertaining to your site.

Q: I give you access to sensitive data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: User privacy is among our top responsibilities – for this reason, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–level SSLs. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and managerial methods to protect the details that we obtain on the web. And we’ve got a very detailed and strict Privacy Policy, which describes the types of information that we gather.

Q: Will there be any outage for my website?
A: Your website will continue to work exactly like it did before with your old web hosting provider. As soon as we have completed the migration, your site will be configured to work on our hosting platform and we will alert you to preview it. If it is functioning properly, all you will need to do is change the name server records corresponding to your domain. Your website will be migrated over to us without any downtime whatsoever.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider have to do anything?
A: Nah. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider about anything. They will not be aware of the website migration either.

Q: Which hosting providers can you transfer data from?
A: We can transfer your site from any web hosting provider or any Linux–based hosting platform so long as we can receive access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only sites that we can’t transfer are the ones based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
