Website Migration
-
Q: What does the website migration service involve? Will my site be secure?
A: When your current hosting provider can no longer meet the demands of your web site, or when you suffer from continuous downtime, or if you are made to wait for hours for the support staff to reply back to you, it may be a smart idea to switch your web hosting provider, i.e. to move all the files for your websites together with your databases from your present provider to your future provider. At Best Web Hosting 4 ASP.NET, we realize that this can often be difficult & time–consuming. For this reason, we’ll do all that for you for free!Our highly trained technical staff members will move your site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our techs have lots of experience with website migration and are able to handle anything – from a typical WordPress–based weblog or Joomla™–driven web site, to an extremely elaborate, custom–made app.
-
Q: How long will the web site migration procedure take?
A: There are plenty of aspects to think about – the overall amount of files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the present workload of our web site migration professionals, etc. That being said, we do our best to accomplish all website migrations within a 48–hour time frame. Less sizeable sites are migrated much faster – typically in under 24 hours.
-
Q: What data will I need to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: We will require the login information for your old hosting provider’s Control Panel along with the website’s name (domain name).
-
Q: I give you access to delicate data. How can I be sure that you won’t abuse it?
A: Client privacy is among our fundamental concerns – this is why, both our payment transaction page and our CP login page are protected with enterprise–level SSL certificates. We use security measures, which include, but are not limited to: physical, electronic and administrative methods to safeguard the data that we receive online. And we’ve also got a very detailed and rigid Privacy Policy, which specifies the types of information that we gather.

Q: Will there be any downtime for my web site?
A: While we move your website, it will be available both in your hosting account with us and in your account with your old hosting provider. Once the migration is done, we will ensure that everything is functioning correctly and that the integrity of your content is not jeopardized before telling you that the migration is completed. After that, we’ll instruct you how to move the domain name to your hosting account with us and how to edit your DNS resource records.
-
Q: Will my current web hosting provider need to provide any information/assistance?
A: Nah. Aside from your login details for the Control Panel, we will not require anything. We will never touch base with your web hosting provider. They will not know anything about the migration either.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my present provider is using?
A: We support all Linux–driven hosting platforms. Generally, if we can access your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your site.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website building platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
