Website Migration

A: When your present hosting provider can no longer measure up to the needs of your website, or when you go through continuous downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the customer service team to respond back to you, it might be a smart idea to switch your web hosting provider, i.e. to migrate all the files for your websites along with your databases from your current provider to your new provider. At 1stWebHosting4U.com, we understand that this can be hard and time–consuming. That is the reason why we will do all that for you for free!Our highly competent technical team members will migrate your web site content from your current web hosting provider to us. Our techs have broad experience migrating websites and are able to handle anything – from a typical WordPress–driven weblog or Joomla^™–driven website, to a highly elaborate, custom–made application.

A: We strive to perform all web site migrations as fast as possible. Nevertheless, we don’t have a set time frame for website migrations. There are various elements that you have to take into account – the actual size of your website and the workload of our web site migration staff, etc. We constantly try to carry out each migration in less than 48 hours. With smaller–sized web sites, our team typically manages to finish within 24 hours.

A: Yup. We’ll need to have the name of the site that you want us to transfer. We will also require a means to log into your old 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’re dedicated to protecting the safety of the private information obtained from the customers. To do that, we employ technical safety measures to avoid the loss, the misapplication, the modification or the unauthorized leakage of the personal data under our control. The security measures include, but are not limited to: physical, digital and managerial methods to protect and secure the details that we acquire on the Internet. When we ask customers to present financial info (for example, a credit card number), this info is shielded using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology.

A: Your website will continue to work exactly like it did before with your former hosting provider. As soon as we are done with the transfer, your website will be configured to work on our system and we will alert you to preview it. If everything is functioning correctly, all you will need to do is edit the name server resource records associated with your domain. Your website will be transferred to us without any downtime.

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

A: We support all Linux–powered web hosting platforms. In essence, if we can acquire access to your Control Panel, we’ll be able to transfer your website.The only platforms that we don’t support are closed–source website building platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
