Website Migration

A: When your current hosting provider can no longer satisfy the demands of your website, or if you go through regular downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the help desk staff to get back to you, it might be a good idea to swap your web hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your web sites together with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At WebHost4Life, we are aware that this can be hard and time–consuming. That’s the reason why we’ll accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our highly professional technical staff reps will migrate your website content from your current provider to us. Our techs have got broad experience with website migration and are able to handle everything – from a typical WordPress–based blog or Joomla^™ site, to a highly elaborate, custom–built app.

A: There are many factors to keep in mind – the total number of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the site itself and the present workload of our website migration professionals, etc. Yet, we do our very best to carry out all web site migrations within a 48–hour time period. Less sizeable websites are migrated faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

A: We’ll need the login details for your current web hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the web site’s name (domain name).

A: Client privacy is indeed one of our chief priorities – that is why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are secured with enterprise–level SSL certificates. We use safety measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative procedures to safeguard the information that we accumulate on the World Wide Web. And we’ve also got a detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which outlines the types of information that we collect.

A: Your site will work exactly like it did before with your former hosting provider. As soon as we have finished the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our platform and we’ll ask you to preview it. If it is functioning correctly, all you will need to do is edit the NS records corresponding to your domain name. Your web site will be transferred over to us with no downtime whatsoever.

A: While we migrate your web content, your hosting provider won’t be aware of the transfer at all. We will never get in touch with them in any way.

A: We support all Linux–driven hosting platforms. Fundamentally, if we can gain access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website management platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
