Website Migration
-
Q: Why do I need to transfer my website? What does web site migration involve?
A: If your current web hosting provider can no longer answer the demands of your web site, or if you undergo frequent downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the client care staff to reply to you, it might be a good idea to swap your provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your sites as well as your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At WebsiteHosting.monster, we realize that this can often be hard and time–consuming. For this reason, we will perform all that for you for free!Our skilled technical staff reps will move your web site content from your present provider to us. Our techs have lots of experience migrating websites and can take care of everything – from a typical WordPress–based weblog or Joomla™ CMS–driven website, to a very elaborate, custom–built app.
-
Q: Just how long will the website migration procedure take?
A: We strive to perform all website migrations as fast as possible. Nonetheless, we don’t have a fixed time frame for web site migrations. There are several aspects that you have to take into account – the sheer size of your site and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We constantly strive to accomplish each migration within 48 hours. With smaller–sized web sites, our staff typically manages to finish in under 24 hours.

Q: Do you need something from me before you begin transferring my website?
A: We’ll need the login details for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel and the site’s name (domain name).

Q: My old web hosting account has sensitive data inside. How can I trust you?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the contract that we will have with you as a customer. We’re committed to safeguarding the safety of the private data obtained from the clients. To achieve this, we employ technical security measures to avoid the loss, the misuse, the alteration or the illegal leakage of the personal information under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to protect and secure the information that we assemble on the Internet. When we request customers to provide financial info (for example, a credit card number), this info is encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

Q: Will there be any outage for my web site?
A: No. Your website will stay visible online during the transfer. Once everything is done on our end, we will let you know so that you can examine it and check for any problems. If everything’s OK, all you will have to do is change your domain name’s DNS records.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider find out that I’m leaving them?
A: Nah. Apart from your login details for the Control Panel, we won’t need anything. We’ll never contact your hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the transfer either.
-
Q: Does it matter what platform my present hosting provider is using?
A: Yes. We support all traditional Linux–based web hosting platforms. We do not support Windows–powered hosting platforms, because we do not offer Windows web hosting solutions ourselves.Furthermore, we do not support proprietary website creation and management interfaces like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
