Website Migration
-
Q: What exactly does web site migration imply and what does it include?
A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer answer the necessities of your site, or when you experience continuous downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the client care staff to reply back to you, it might be a clever idea to swap your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your web sites together with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At EASY Webs, we realize that this can often be difficult & time–consuming. This is the reason why we will perform all that for you at no cost!Our highly accomplished technical staff members will move your web site content from your current hosting provider to us. Our technicians have got plenty of experience with web site migration and can handle everything – from an average WordPress blog or Joomla™ web site, to an extremely elaborate, custom–built web app.

Q: How much time will the website migration process take?
A: There are many aspects to take into account – the total number of web files, the size of the database, the complexity of the website itself and the current workload of our web site migration experts, etc. Still, we do try to implement all website migrations in a 48–hour window. Smaller sites are transferred faster – typically in less than 24 hours.

Q: What data will I have to provide to your Website Migration Department?
A: We don’t gather any private data. We will need, however, the login info for your current web hosting account and the name of the web site that you would like to transfer.
-
Q: I give you access to delicate data. How can I be sure that you won’t misuse it?
A: Our Privacy Policy is an indivisible part of the agreement that we’ll have with you as a client. We are devoted to protecting the security of the personal details collected from the clients. To achieve that, we employ technical security measures in order to prevent the loss, the misuse, the alteration or the illegal disclosure of the personal data under our control. The safety measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the details that we accumulate on the web. When we ask users to present financial information (for example, a credit card number), this info is secured using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology.

Q: What about downtime? Will my site be unavailable?
A: Your web site will work just like it did before with your old web hosting provider. When we have completed the migration, your web site will be configured to work on our system and we’ll alert you to preview it. If it is working properly, all you will need to do is edit the NS resource records pertaining to your domain. Your web site will be transferred over to us without any downtime.

Q: Will my present web hosting provider find out that I’m leaving them?
A: Nah. We’ll never touch base with your hosting provider about anything. They won’t be aware of the website migration either.
-
Q: Does it make a difference what platform my current hosting provider is using?
A: We can migrate your website from any web hosting provider or any Linux–based hosting platform on condition that we can get access to the Control Panel and there’s FTP access available.The only sites that we are unable to migrate are the ones based on closed–source software apps like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square and Mr Site.
