Website Migration

A: If your present web hosting provider can no longer measure up to the needs of your web site, or when you undergo regular network downtime, or if you are forced to wait for hours for the client service team to respond back to you, it may be smart to switch your provider, i.e. to move all the files for your sites along with your databases from your current provider to your future provider. At Simplyweb, we know that this can often be hard and time–consuming. Because of this, we’ll do all that for you for free!Our professional technical staff members will transfer your web site content from your present hosting provider to us. Our techs have a lot of experience with website migration and can handle everything – from an ordinary WordPress–driven blog or Joomla^™–based website, to an extremely complex, custom–made web app.

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

A: We do not gather any information that is personal. We will require, however, the login info for your present hosting account as well as the name of the web site that you need to move.

A: In order for us to begin the migration of your hosting account, you must already have an account with us. Opening an account with us will require that you to disclose pretty much the same details you have given to your present host. We also have an extremely strict Privacy Policy, which specifies how private information is used.

A: While we transfer your site, it will be available both in your web hosting account with us and in your account with your old hosting provider. When the transfer is done, we will make certain that everything is working correctly and that the integrity of your web content is not affected before telling you that the transfer is completed. Then we’ll explain to you how to transfer the domain name over to your web hosting account with us and how to change your DNS settings.

A: Nah. Apart from your login details for the Control Panel, we do not need anything. We’ll never touch base with your web hosting provider. They won’t know anything about the migration either.

A: We support all Linux–powered hosting platforms. In essence, if we can receive access to your Control Panel, we will be able to migrate your website.The only platforms that we do not support are closed–source website creation platforms like Wix, BaseKit, Jimdo, Website Tonight, Four Square, Mr Site, etc.
