Website Migration

A: When your present hosting provider can no longer measure up to the requirements of your web site, or if you suffer from regular downtime, or if you have to wait for hours for the help desk team to reply to you, it might be smart to swap your provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your websites along with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At Domain x Host, we are aware that this can often be difficult & time–consuming. For this reason, we will accomplish all that for you at no cost!Our competent technical staff will migrate your web site content from your present provider to us. Our technicians have a lot of experience with web site migration and are able to handle anything – from a common WordPress–powered blog or Joomla^™–based web site, to a very complex, custom–made web app.

A: There are a lot of factors to take into consideration – the total amount of web files, the physical size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the current workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. Yet, we do our very best to implement all web site migrations within a 48–hour window. Smaller web sites are migrated much faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

A: Yep. We’ll need to have the name of the web site that you wish us to migrate. We’ll also need a means to log into your current hosting account so that we can get the content associated with your web site.

A: Our Privacy Policy is an inseparable part of the contract that we will have with you as a customer. We are focused on safeguarding the safety of the personal info collected from the clients. To achieve that, we use technical security measures so as to prevent the loss, the abuse, the alteration or the illegal disclosure of the information under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the info that we acquire on the web. When we ask clients to supply financial information (for example, a debit card number), this info is encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

A: Nah. Your website will stay fully operational during the migration. As soon as everything is completed on our end, we’ll tell you so that you can preview it and check for any problems. If everything is fine, all you will have to do is change your domain name’s DNS resource records.

A: No. We’ll never touch base with your hosting provider about anything at all. They won’t be aware of the web site transfer either.

A: We can migrate your website from any hosting provider or any Linux–driven hosting platform provided that we can gain access to the Control Panel and there’s File Transfer Protocol access available.The only websites that we can’t transfer are those based on closed–source software applications like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
